Fetal Stem Cell Research Pros and Cons Stem cells have the capacity to create other cells in the body, such as brain, muscle, tissue and blood cells. This is why it is considered a revolutionary option to repair or replace damaged cells or tissues, as in the case of cancer. Stem cells are present in all of our bodies and for the entirety of our existence. But its potency is highest in a fetus than in an adult body, resulting in fetal stem cell research. The negative and positive effects it…

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis especially in the dentate gyrus is a unique form of neural circuit plasticity that results in the generation of new neurons in this region throughout life. Neurogenesis is not a rapid process, throughout it a neuron needs to be born and then implemented, and incorporated into an entire network which can take a long time. Neurogenesis is supposed to change the function of hippocampus over a person’s lifetime and therefore adult neurogenesis is different than an…

Technical aspects of arterial hepatic artery embolization in Sprague Dawley rats for interventional radiology (IR) research Purpose Currently, there is an increasing interest in designing and testing new therapeutic options for the endovascular treatment of liver tumors. Different classes of targeted therapies, as well as embolic agents, and delivery systems are under development. Therefore, the characterization of preclinical models to optimize intra-arterial hepatic embolization is crucial to…

The use and research on embryonic stem cells is an extremely controversial issue. Today i will explore both sides of the argument and then come to a conclusion. Embryonic stem cells come from a blastocyst. A blastocyst is formed when the egg has divided into about 100 cells during development. This usually happens at around 5 days after fertilisation. The embryos used are leftover from IVF treatment. IVF stands for in vitro fertilisation and it is used when a couple is not able to conceive…

The brain is at the heart of all that is left in discovering the secrets to immortality. When God decides to reveal his secrets of the brain to scientists we will be able to unravel health and happiness, creating and correcting any health problem. It all begins with a thought, an impulse, a decision, and those things happen in our brain. Neuroscientists have been trying without much success for centuries to discover how the brain works, often coming up with tantalizing possibilities only to be…

Stem Cell Research Claim: Against Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is wrong because of these four reasons, they destroy embryo’s, they require a lifetime of drug use, they can cause tumors and they have harmful side effects when given to sufferers of Parkinson’s disease. My first reason is that they destroy embryo’s. According to Yahoo news 2010, ‘’The extraction of stem cells from this type requires its destruction.’’ Embryonic cell research is killing small embryo’s that could…

1. Please summarize the main points of the assigned reading emphasizing the unique cultural perspective to the ethical issue, technology or research in question. Generally speaking, scientific discoveries have positively impacted human life in a profound way. However, there has been limitations that have come with some of the discoveries and the general ethical concerns across the globe. Human embryonic stem cell research, for example, is one of the discovery that has raised a series of ethical…

Within Kathy A. Fackelmann’s article titled, “Cardiac electricians: radio waves can cure a racing heart” Fackelmann writes about the ability to fix abnormalities in heartbeats and heart rates by using perfected radio waves. Thus, the problem at hand is the ailments of patients suffering from Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) who need relief from their symptoms. The ideology of solvency came in the form of modified radio-wave therapy so that a target frequency would practicly restart…

When one wants to understand the term Stem Cell Treatment, one can search the internet to understand the definition that states that stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells that helps to treat a disease or condition. While drugs only provide temporary relief from pain, stem cells therapy actually restore degenerated tissue while providing pain relief. The most commonly treated foot and ankle conditions using stem cell therapy include fracture, Ligament sprain or tear, Arthritis, Diabetic…
