Personal statement: Noor Amalina Md Yusof The progression of technology and the effects it has had on civilization has always fascinated me, and generated within me an interest in the Sciences. More recently, I have begun to excel more in Biology than Chemistry or Physics, and this is where I wish to continue my studies. In my opinion, Biological Technologies are an important resource, and are fast becoming more important to industry and medicine, as fields like Bio-Materials and Genetics are…

The benefits of fat cells being converted into stem cells Scientists frequently talk about the latest and greatest use got stem cells but they are now developing a technique that can repair and heal tissue that has been damaged. They have figured out that this is possible through converting fat cells into stem cells. What is normal for stem cells is that it is injected into the bone marrow. Stem cells are somewhat easy source but for the stem cells to help to repair tissue, muscles, and organs…

The Underlying biology of Chimera Stem Cells: 1. The blastocyst helps make the different parts of the embryo inner cell mass, which in turn helps to make the embryo proper 2. The trophectoderm and primitive endoderm make extra embryonic structures that support the growth of the embryo 3. Two to eight cell stage embryos are used for making chimeras, since they aren’t committed to helping a particular cell lineage and could possible make the inner cell mass or trophectoderm 4. If two diploid eight…

Regenerative Medicine is a new cutting edge technology in the health care world. Considering this, it has deemed a game changer in the everyday lives of many. The people who are suffering from conditions that can be beyond repair would benefit from this type of regenerative medicine. Stem Cell specific Regenerative Medicine has been drawing great attention, due to the positive outcomes of the use of stem cells in repairing bone, tissues, organs and much more. The goal is to point out and…

action Skin is a multilayered organ with the ability to protect the organ¬ism against external aggressions. The skin consists of three main layers including epidermis, dermis and subcutis that are responsible for its high turnover capacity in repairing different injuries. Similar to other tissues, the stem cells existed in skin tissue play an important role in regulating the balance between cell loss and cell division [22, 23]. siRNA therapeutics are potent alternative for skin regeneration due…

Analysis of Product Introduction for Daisy Rock Guitars Concerning the new product introduction of an ambidextrous guitar for Daisy Rock Guitars (DRG), a thorough analysis consisting of company and industry specific production needs, risk and financial impacts, and management strategies is needed. Through the exploration of operations management theories, insight can be acquired as to the necessary steps DRG needs to take to secure a successful product launch. By incorporating strategies…

It has been long stated that the body has the amazing ability to heal and repair itself. When said, it was in relation to minor cuts, bruises and abrasions, but perhaps this thinking limits the body’s ability. Perhaps the body does have this self-repairing ability, but on a much larger scale, such as the ability to repair larger organs such as the heart, lungs, or bigger things. Well, these studies are currently being reviewed and tested, it is actually a scientific study called Tissue…

million with cancer, 4 million with Alzheimer’s disease, along with many others. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. These cells are used for medical research because they can produce new cells to replace damaged tissue in the body. Embryonic…

When multi-cellular organisms develop, cells must differentiate to form specialised cells, which have a diverse range of functions, these then give the organism the necessary assistance to survive and eventually live. A stem cell is a cell which is undifferentiated and not yet specialised, although it has to capability to form or configure itself into any other type of cell. Fertilised embryos are called zygotes which then produce pluripotent embryonic stem cells, a prerequisite to the survival…

Although scientific research has come a long way since the beginning of time, it has not done so without some kind of controversy. From Biopsychiatry to the Tuskegee Experiments, it seems as though there cannot be any scientific breakthrough without some kind of ethical issue. Stem cells are another example of a controversial treatment that is taking the medical field by storm. Although it is very controversial, it’s results are truly amazing and beneficial to anyone who is willing to give it a…
