    Cancer Stem Cells Stem cells play an important role in the creation of complex structures within the human body, and they can also produce tumors. The properties of stem cells have a large implementation of how cancerous stem cells survive and replicate. Elimination of these cancer stem cells presents a complex challenge because in order to remove the stem cell it must first be targeted and eradicated using critical therapeutic approaches. The properties of cancer stem cells are used to develop new strategies for removal of these cells from the human body, and contribute to the attainment of cancer treatment. Stem cells are found in many diverse somatic tissues and are important contributors in their formation. Cells that descend from stem cells are organized where the stem cell resides at beginning of the developmental pathway. Stem cells have three distinguishing properties: self-renewal, the capability to develop into numerous lineages, and the potential to proliferate extensively (Jordan, et al. 2006). These three properties are what make stem cells so unique. The characteristic of self-renewal is exclusively prominent, because its destabilization is highly applicable to oncogenesis and malignancy (Jordan, et al. 2006).…

    What would you say if they cure for cancer could be within our grasp? Within the last decade, we’ve developed advanced medical procedures that have allowed us to cure many diseases that would have been potentially fatal 100 years ago. With time cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s could be as easy to cure as the common flu. Stem cells are the idea that could have the ability to cure disease, heal organs, and even possibly regrow limbs. They’re a relatively new advancement that has undiscovered…

    The Cancer Stem Cell Hypothesis: A Basic and Clinical Approach to Treating Glioblastoma Multiforme Introduction Glioblastoma (World Health Organization grade IV glioma; GBM) is the most prevalent and malignant primary brain tumor in adults, and it is predominantly drug and radiation resistant1. Unlike many other solid tumor types, GBM extensively invades the surrounding brain, but it rarely metastasizes to other organs. Beyond its invasive nature, there are a variety of other hallmarks of…

    Stem Cell Research Science Stem cells are important because they have special properties that separate them from other cells. Some of those properties include their regenerative nature, this gives them the ability to regenerate and change as to adapt to the environment of any specialised cell. Stem cells also have the bailey to repair themselves and multiply to repair and replace other specialised cells and damaged tissues in the body (James 2009). Stem cells have there ability to change so…

    Thousands of people are treated with stem cells every year in the United States. Stem cells are used in many different ways to better the world and save lives. People debate whether or not it is ethically okay to use stem cells for research. The government is funding this research, so the benefits most likely outweigh the moral issues. There are a few unique properties that all stem cells share. One unique property is that stem cells are unspecialized. They do not have tissue-specific structures…

    timeline of stem cell research, scientists have learned about the different types of stem cells and their functions while trying to avoid ethical and funding issues that arise as obstacles. Studies on human stem cells allow scientists to attempt to create cures for diseases like Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and myocardial infarction while also better understanding the development and differentiation of human cells (Lo and Parham). Differentiation is the process of unspecialized cells changing…
