Cancer stem cell

With a fascination of the brain since middle school, I have gradually developed an interest in neurology, especially concerning the study of brain tumors. It is fascinating to know that one tumor in the brain can affect the entire body, which is why I wish to embrace the profession of a neurologist in the future. As a dedicated student, I am always centered around the “why” of any situation whether it be in science, history, or math. I dig deeper and focus on the roots of the problem being faced…

or further understood through knowledge gained in stem cell research. While humans have come far in preventative measures and treatments for many types of disease, there are still many that take people from their families and friends every year. However controversial, stem cell research has greatly improved our understanding of the human body, and it is that research that will finally lead to the demise of the diseases many suffer from. Stem cell research has the potential to treat various…

of Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) for the treatment of disease is fraught with ethical issues. As embryos are destroyed in the name of said research, many people view the use of embryonic stem cells as the destruction of human life; religious groups such as Buddhists, Hindus and Catholics were questioned via face to face interviews, the data gathered from these interviews showed three major concerns, namely: the sanctity of human life, do no harm, and, what research the stem cells were…

Stem Cell Research While doing the research for this paper I found many reasons to be for and against this type of medical research. The main reason I am for this is it allows for the continuous research and development of new therapies and possible cures for the many diseases the plague our country today and in the future. This topic has been highly debated for many years and is still one of the most talked about topics in medical research today. It ask the ethical question should we allow…

Introduction Stem cell research has caused a great deal of controversy throughout the past several decades. Stem cells are unique because they can develop into different cell types in the body. While the stem cell is dividing, the new cells that are being created can turn into specialized cells, such as, brain cells or red blood cells. As a result, the specialized stem cells could help people suffering from a plethora of diseases, specifically Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the many benefits…

The movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project, discussed the use of an artificial intelligence (A.I.) by the government and how it was contrary to humans’ expectations and decided to enslave humanity. Science and technology were found and invented by humans. In 1894, Guglielmo Marconi made the first radio; Now we have iPhone X. Our lives are full of science and technology. It is hard to not using them even if it is just a simple action like calling one’s friend. Some people may start to question…

Butter and margarine have always had a competition between which one is better. Multiple researchers from many universities (such as Harvard) and health clinics have ran tests on both of the subjects to determine which one is the healthier choice. Through intense research, a lot of people switch to margarine because of health conditions, personal preference, or simply just the price. Others say that butter is healthier due to the ingredients, source, and how it's prepared. According to the…

1.1) Autografts: Autografts, also known as autotransplantation is when tissue from the same patient in transplanted to another place but in the same patient. There is no rejection in autografts because the tissue is completely genetically identical 1.2) Allo-grafts: Allografts are when an organ or tissue is transplanted from one individual to another but they are from the same species. In allografts the chances of rejection exist because the tissue or organ is not completely…

The Fermi Paradox and Goldilocks zone are two great reasons for life on other plants, however, the Fermi Paradox could fall either way. It could fall for or against life on other planets because of this there are many scientists working through to find what's true. While people may choose their side and think that there is or isn’t life on other planets. There are thousands of conspiracy theories about alien life being real. If so, why haven’t they contacted us? Are they just not as…

In a similar fashion, Will Rodman contradicts nature by perfecting the drug ALZ-112 which fixes Alzheimer's by attacking the genes of host cells with a retrovirus. However, the study of Alzheimer's has more potential for good than reanimating life does (because curing Alzheimer's displays more realistic potential and a higher likelihood to help a large audience of people). But, Rodman still crosses the fine line that determines science does too much when he starts to treat his specimens like…
