Division 1

Canadian poet, Raymond Souster, explores the thematic implications of the individual’s urban experience, representing the Canadian city center as a place of isolating corruption that maps an unchanging Toronto. Drawing on the modernist impulse to criticize the industrialization of society, Souster moves away from the Canadian tradition of writing naturalistic visions into the sphere of the cityscape. In his poems, “Robinson Street”, and “The Coldest Winter”, Souster uses images of isolated…

I argue that not only should Division I football players create a labour union, but that by doing so will provide many positive outcomes and possibilities to the players themselves. I believe that by forming a labour union, the players would finally get power, profits and their voices…

periods (with and without the presence of dental biofilm) to all rats except for the ten non-medicated rats. Alveolar bone area, alveolar bone level, and attachment level were determined by histomorphometric analysis, and gingival tissue levels of MMP-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-2 were detected by biochemical…

stating that “embryonic cells are harvested by killing developing human beings” (“Pro-Life News in Brief” 1), and this implies how embryonic stem cell research causes harm to embryos. This article then compares the process of embryonic stem cell research to that of adult stem cell research. It was stated that “adult cells are extracted without harming the donor.” (“Pro-Life News in Brief” 1). By comparing the process of embryonic stem cell research to that of adult stem cell research, it is…

Stem Cells To start off, a stem cell is an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that has the ability to assist other cells of the same type. They come from developed organs and tissues in the human body. You may think of a stem cell as a “blank” cell because it has not decided what it wants to be. It might become a skin cell, heart muscle, nerve cell, bone cell, etc. The use of stem cells is a controversial topic. You can view the use of stem cells through different points of views…

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…

Some of the promise of stem cell therapy has been realized. A prime example is bone marrow transplantation. Even here, however, manyproblems remain to be solved. Challenges facing stem cell therapy include the following: Adult stem cells Tissue-specific stem cells in adult individuals tend to be rare. Furthermore, while they can regenerate themselves in an animal or person they are generally very difficult to grow and to expand in the laboratory. Because of this, it is difficult to obtain…

Dear minister of health, Incase you haven’t known (which you might have, unless it was buried under a big pile of letters), stem cells are the new medical “it thing”. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate/change into specialized cells and can divide to produce more stem cells. Even though they are unspecialized, stem cells can develop into specialized cells. Stem cells can make up to 220 different cells in the human body, they also have the capability to self renew.…

I’m sure some of you have had a friend or family member who has passed as the result of an incurable disease. Stem cells have the remarkable medical potential to cure a myriad of degenerative diseases. According to Rosemary Tong, a biomedical ethicist, stem cell research has the potential to develop treatment for 58 million Americans with heart disease, 82 million with cancer, 4 million with Alzheimer’s disease, along with many others. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that is capable of…

“Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.” This quote by Jim Ramstad is about the benefits of Embryonic Stem Cell Research. “Stem cells provide an opportunity to investigate the mechanisms that regulate embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and organ maintenance” (Ramalho-Santos and Willenbring 35-38). Embryonic stem cell research has been around for many years. It has proven to be very beneficial to the medical world,…
