Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Wendy Chung, a human geneticist utilizes the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos to better explain what autism is. Chung is a certified clinical geneticist who has a PhD in molecular genetics. She graduated with an MD from Cornell University and a PhD from The Rockefeller University. On March of the year 2014 Chung spoke in a Ted Talk conference over autism, Autism- what we know (and what we don’t know yet). Chung and her team of expertise lecture the audience concerning this order.…

advantage of the physiological effects of hibernation to aid in the research of nerve cells? Hibernation, usually thought of as a means of survival for mammals during unfavourable environmental conditions (Carey, Andrews, & Martin, 2003), was used by Victor Popov and colleagues at the Russian Academy of Sciences on March 10th. 2011 as a study technique in furthering knowledge about the cell cycle of nerve cells (neurons) in the brains of adult ground squirrels. Previously, scientists believed…

supporting stem cell research. I’ll do so by explaining the benefits of this research that treat the lives of the individuals with a disability or a disease. The majority of us know or will know someone who is suffering in life because they have a failing organ, cancer or a disability, or any disease. For example, multiple sclerosis is a serious disease that targets the brain…

by the means of stem cell research should the patient and their family go through with it? Research of stem cells has evolved to a level that can now take way the diseases that are hereditary to many patients across the world that are untreatable even with the most advance surgeries or medication. It is an option that most patients as well as the donor families of the embryo cell will either consider with acceptance or denial depending on their view of the issue. Embryonic stem cell treatment it…

combining a bacteria, commonly E. coli, and the cell that contains the specific gene that the scientist wants to clone into a plasmid that acts as a cloning vector that can carry foreign DNA into a cell to replicate. The combination of the plasmid and cell results in Recombinant DNA, a molecule that includes DNA from 2 different sources, which is then put into the bacteria cell. The bacterial cell reproduces through cell division to form the clones of the cell. The specific genes now are able to…

timeline of stem cell research, scientists have learned about the different types of stem cells and their functions while trying to avoid ethical and funding issues that arise as obstacles. Studies on human stem cells allow scientists to attempt to create cures for diseases like Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and myocardial infarction while also better understanding the development and differentiation of human cells (Lo and Parham). Differentiation is the process of unspecialized cells changing…

Stem Cells: The Future of Healing Stem cell therapy has been around for nearly 30 years and has profound uses for the treatment or prevention of many diseases. HSCs circulate around the blood during fetal stage and reside in the bone marrow of adults and one of the most common stem cell therapies currently in use is for bone marrow transplants, but there are many other uses for stem cells which greatly impact the lives of millions of people for the better (Tiwari, 2016). There is no doubt that…

study procedures in medical fields and stem cells has always been to find cure for the incurable and to prolong the lives that would be cut short because of these diseases. There have been many different experiments that scientists have performed that seem promising but ended up failing in some way, but right now in this century the biggest medical advancement opportunity is in stem cells. With the help of all the scientists studying stem cells, Embryonic Stem Cells (eSC) can be a great way for…

We live in a world of unceasing technological and scientific advances that have led to the advancement in cloning. Over the past few decades, the moral and ethical issues of cloning have surfaced, remaining in the spotlight ever since. Many different and opposite opinions are present, whether among the members of certain scientific field or among people discussing everyday topics. Cloning, the result of a genetic copy of parent organism is not a novelty. In fact, it has been present for many…

The immune system can be very perplexing, one minute you're enjoying a fun day outdoor and the next minute, you're wheezing and having trouble breathing. Discovering the causes of allergic reactions can help people become more aware of and cure their diseases. This is similar to what allergists and immunologist do in their everyday routine. Allergists and immunologists are physicians that specialize in the treatment of allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic diseases. They partake in the activities…
