Cellular differentiation

TITLE PAGE EXECTUTIVE SUMMARY CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION CASE STUDY REPORT BODY BIOPRINING- Design concepts- Bioprinting is the three-dimensional printing of biological tissue and organs through the layering of living cells. While this area of manufacturing is still in the experimental stage and is currently used primarily in scientific study rather than applied science, the possibility of creating functional replacement…

Clonality is homogeneity in the genotype of cells originating from a specific linage. One cell like the other, expressing the same set of genes to carryout functions that they have to do as a tissue; a causality of cells having a common ancestor or a progenitor cell which can be sourced at one point in time of development of an organism. This expansion of one cell into various clones occurs via a process called clonal expansion. The process is not different in cancer cells, there is one cell…

Cloning is idea known by most, an idea accompanied by negative emotions. This idea that may soon become a reality is a controversial subject. Cloning could be a medical breakthrough in helping people needing body part/organ transplants and it could open doorways for infertile couples wanting a genetic offspring. On the other side of things, cloning would be a power that could be very easily taken advantage of; where is the boundary in cloning drawn? How would this affect the future of natural…

Stems Cells The use of stems cells has caused immense controversy among humanity over the years. There is a very thin line between the use of stem cells for science purposes and the morality of using stem cells, even for the reasons of science. The argument surrounding the use of stem cells, like any argument, has two sides to the argument. There are those who are in favor of the use of stems, and there are those are against the use of stem cells with arguments that support both opinions; I…

Stem cells are cells that retained cellular renewal ability (Avasthi, Ms, & Ms, 2008). These cells can differentiate to a large spectrum of cell types including but not limited to various organ cells and other tissue cells. There are 2 main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells (embryo) and somatic stem cells (adult). Depending on the cell’s potency, the ability to differentiate to different cells will vary. There are different potency of cells, which include: totipotency, pluripotency and…

Society as a whole has evolved greatly since dinosaurs roamed the Earth over one million years ago. Medicine was in its infancy in the year 3000 B.C. Penicillin was accidentally discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming. Today, science has evolved in such a way that disease can be prevented, organs can be transplanted, and quality of life can be extended by decades from the technology that has arisen from the human mind. Research has provided extensive growth in the medical field. Illnesses…

With all the wicked problems our country goes through, we are always questioning ourselves if we are doing the right or wrong thing. For this report I will be talking about the United States Health Care. Specifically, I will be focusing on what exactly stem cells are and the ideological perspectives of the conservative and liberal ideas about stem cell research in America. Stem cell research has become a big issue in the scientific and religious communities in the United States. You may be…

One year is an infinitesimal amount of time in the grand scheme of life; paradoxically, it is an ample amount of time to understand more about the world in which we live. In a world plagued with disease and pestilence, it is up to our society to make the world a better place. One year can change the lives of both families and individuals, altering their perceptions of the world around them and changing who they are as people. Few people truly appreciate the value of time, but those who do will…

The basic building blocks for all living things are cells. Most cells cannot be seen by the human eye, but they play a massive role in life because they make up tissue, which develops into an organism (What Is a Cell?). These organisms include humans and humans study cells in order to fix physical damage done to the human body and create cures for diseases, and disabilities (Why Cell Biology is So Important?). Therefore, cell research provides medical benefits, but it also creates a rising…
