Cellular differentiation

Differentiation of children’s learning is an essential tool in an English Primary School setting (DCSF, 2008). Children learn at different rates (Brandt, 1998; Tomlinson, 2001) and thus it stands to reason that the learning that is carried out in a classroom is differentiated to suit the varying needs of the learner. Contradictory to standards-based teaching, differentiation denotes to a student-centred pedagogical approach which aims at responding flexibly to individual students’ learning…

Nuclear Chemistry: The Magnetic Resonance Imaging The evolution of medicine is quite interesting. It first started out with spirits, omens, and other mythical beliefs. Then, the discovery of science has allowed for more practical ways to examine and heal a body. First the simple tools came into play, then the advanced technology. As the years keep progressing, more and more discoveries are being made. One example of this is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Nuclear chemistry has allowed for…

Faith and Science Working Together Religion playing a huge role in a book about the history of modern medicine? Usually unheard of. But not in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skoot. This is an emotionally charged historical account regarding the origin of one of the most famous and important tools in modern medicine. The HeLa Cells, taken from Mrs. Henrietta Lacks in the early 1950’s without her consent, have lead to researchers finding a multitude of new treatments and making a…

Imagine yourself in a society in which individuals with virtually incurable diseases could gain the essential organs and tissues that perfectly match those that are defected through the use of individual human reproductive cloning. In this era, there is still a bit of confusion on the word ¨cloning¨. Therapeutic cloning can be helpful for people, who are suffering from kidney failure or other disorder who are forced to wait years for a replacement organ. Human cloning should be allowed what…

varriety of reasons.One reason is the ability to determine the human bodies complex function in development. It will give scientist a better look into discovering genetics and the molecular oversight in cell division. Also, with understanding differentiation, different procedures or discoveries can help aide in curing cancer and manage birth defects (“Stem Cell Basics”). Another use of stem cells in the biomedical field is conservation. With conservation, sperm can be retrieved from high genetic…

“Under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, stem cells can be induced to become mature cells with special functions that help cure diseases” (Aldridge). Studies have shown that stem cells can replace virtually any tissue or organ that is injured or diseased, yet no other medicine or drug has been able to perform such a task. Most people would rather choose chemotherapy treatments simply because stem cell processes take years to confirm. However, are stem cells a higher quality when…

There is a research that is known as stem cell research that could lead to several medical and scientific revolutions, but numerous people argues that stem cell research is unethical and it stirs up many conflicts with religious groups. Stem cells are very unique cells that have the potential to perform various specific tasks. Many of the common people argue about the ways to retrieve the stems cells. There are also countless advantages and disadvantages of stem cell research. Is stem cell…

Capillus 202 Review - Any Hair Restoration Benefit? Does Cost More for 202 Laser Diodes! Capillus 202 is another laser based device that claims to reverse thinning hair and re-grow lost hair. It is marketed in the manufacturer’s primary website and in known retail website(s). I could find a good number of details about this device where it claims to offer several other benefits when it comes to hair restoration. My task here is to put this information together and say if the product is worth…

Stem-cell Therapy is the use of stem cells, which are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into any specialised cell, to either treat or prevent a disease. There are two main types of stem cells, embryonic stem cells extracted from the early blastocyst phase in embryonic development and adult stem cells found in the bone marrow. The difference between these two is their totipotency or ability to become a new cell; embryonic stem cells can develop into any type of cell, they are…
