Cellular differentiation

Stem cells is an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, it can copy themselves for an unlimited period of time, also have the potential to develop into different types of cell. Each new cell will become another type of cell with a more specialized function when the stem cell divides, these cells such as the red blood cell, muscle cell and the brain cell. Overall on some main functions of the stem cell, the…

Within the past decade stem cell research has been a very debatable issue within the secular and religious communities. The ongoing debate has been based on the basis of embryonic stem cell research, the moral ethics of it, versus adult stem cell research. While generalized stem cell research can and has led to huge scientific breakthroughs, the benefit from embryonic research does not warrant the risk of potentially killing a future President. So what are stem cells and why are they important…

Stem cell research is becoming a topic of interest. Even with the shame surrounding stem cell research, the potential benefits in the scientific and medical settings outweigh the negatives. The government does not give very much money into funding embryonic stem cell research. With the little money that scientists do get, they have very tight restrictions that they have to follow in order for the government to continue to fund them. There are quite a few people in the world that are completely…

Stem Cell Research: The Bioethical Debate Medical technology is accelerating at the fastest rate the world has ever seen. Everyday there are new methods of treatment that make past treatments irrelevant and outdated. Stem cell research has been a debated topic for the past few decades. People argue that stem cell research is immoral because you’re essentially ending a possible life, an embryo, in order to save and treat many lives. Stem cell research needs to be funded and practiced. If it means…

The Benefits of Stem Cell “22 people die every because they cannot receive a donated organ. That is about 10,000 deceased people every year” (“Why Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation?”). Patient live in fear that one day their donated organ would reject and they can optimally lose their life when they have waited so long. A new type of medicine has emerged that allows for new possibilities for patient waiting for a lifesaving organ or for those in fear of rejection. Stem cell is the future of…

Morality Vs. Evolution on the Improvement of Life: Embryonic Stem Cell Research In Beau Watts' essay "Embryonic Stem Cell Research: A Moral Evil or Obligation" (December 2011), the author claims that embryonic stem cells are the answer for humanity to have an overall better life. Watts, an emergency room physician in Kansas City, Missouri explains the complex properties of embryonic stems cells while also discussing the properties of other proponents for altering genes, such as embryonic germ…

The Clone Wars Terrence Jefferey states,“Cloning might be the perfect sin. It just might break all Ten Commandments at once.”(Roloff 8) Cloning has been around for a long time. Whether it is animal or human, many debate if it should be used. Animal cloning, a problematic situation for countless people, presents itself as a aid for many of society's material problems. Many may know cloning exists but don’t know the basics types of cloning. According to Farrell, there are three types cloning…

There are a variety of similarities in the content in both the Broderick and Blewitt text and the reading by Sylwester. Broderick and Blewitt open the chapter by explaining the intricate process of how the brain is formed and how it develops throughout gestation. Once the brain structure itself has formed in the womb, nerve cells called neurons begin to form (Broderick & Blewitt, 2010). The brain sends information to the rest of the body through neurotransmitters that are housed in terminals…

can stay undifferentiated (unspecialized). But if cells are permitted to bunch together to build embryoid bodies, they start to differentiate suddenly. They can form muscle cells, nerve cells, and numerous other cell sorts. Although spontaneous differentiation is a decent sign that a culture of embryonic stem cells are hearty, it is not a proficient approach to produce cultures of particular cell types. (NIH…

Patients with “extensive burns, leukemia, and other blood disorders” are currently being treated with Stem-Cells (“What are the potential applications for Stem Cell Research”). The process has been in use since the 1970s, with bone marrow transplants, although back then it was not as safe and innovated at it is today. With more research, technological advances, and scientific breakthrough’s patients have a fighting chance against life threatening diseases that have plague humankind. Even though…
