Are Stem Cells Worth The Cost? Introduction Stem Cells have a lot of potentials to cure/heal the human body, but is it worth the cost? Embryonic stem cells have the potential to transform medicine. Scientist and doctors believe they could potentially treat a myriad of human conditions and diseases, such as spinal cord injury, type 1 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and many others. However, there are many issues and barriers to fulfilling this potential. Helping people walk again sounds like…

Cancer is a most ravaging disease threatening globally with a leading mortally rate in developed countries. 1 Various types of cancers have been identified which affects different organs and they are broadly grouped under the category of carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma or leukemia based on the type of tissue origin. common striking features of all types of cancer is uncontrolled cell proliferation, antiapoptosis, enhanced angiogenesis, genomic instability and metastasis. 4 The broad range of…

DISCUSSION The term “elastomer” refers to any member of a class of polymeric materials with the ability to regain shape after deformation.27, i The very first common elastomer was natural rubber. There were used by the Maya and Inca civilizations. With the introduction of vulcanization, by Charles Goodyear in the year 1839, the physical properties of rubbers were improved, considerably enhancing its use.27 In the 1920’s, manufacture of synthetic rubber bands were started by the petrochemical…

What if you had the choice to save an embryo would you do it if that meant you could have more than one child? Imagine you have a genetic disease and the only option to have children is using the in-vitro fertilization method. This means taking your viable embryos testing and choosing the one that is "healthy" without the disease to have a child while the others get disposed. But, what if you could save them by genetically modifying the DNA sequences using gene technology within the embryos to…

Change for a Longer Life Span Not a Better Span of Life. Everyone has different beliefs and thoughts about genetically modified organisms. Many believe that it is okay as long as the individuals ends up better than they were while others believe that an infant child should not be altered for any reason. What if a change in their genome can cause them to be immune to certain diseases, or even help cognitively with dyslexia? Would people still be opposed to something that can help an individual…

Over the past few decades, increasing research and development efforts toward value addition and efficient utilization of nutritionally rich agro-industrial residues have been gaining attention around the world. Several industrial residues, such as whey, sugar beet pulp, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, citrus waste, coffee pulp/husk, etc., have been studied as model system. They are either used as microbial substrates in fermentation or are subjected to the extraction of bioactive molecules1-4.…

development inside the mother. These cells have no function and have the potential to become any type of cell in the organism. When these cells are harvested, they are not harvested from an actual human with a fetus, the egg is fertilized in a lab (in-vitro fertilization) and is grown into a blastocyst. This process takes about 5 days and once the stem cells are harvested from the blastocyst it is discarded. A blastocyst aged 4-5 days contains about 50-150 cells. Once these cells are…

Imagine there was a “miracle” cure for diseases and other ailments; from Parkinson’s disease, to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis- “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”, to spinal cord injury, to cancer, to blindness and diabetes. Though it may sound like a dream come true, it is not something of myth. With a lot of support, funding, and research, stem cells have the potential to eliminate all of the prior and more. Stem cells are an example of the basic building blocks of life: virtually microscopic,…

health care field. This principle of right and wrong conduct is noteworthy to specialists while assessing the benefits and troubles of medical procedures. One may find the progress of helpful advances hard to endure. For example, using a piece of vitro arrangement to pick babies for an impeccable inherited human cloning. If we screen an incipient organism for a tissue sort, we can then allow certain physical qualities for the newborn child. We can pick their eye shading, kind of learning,…

heart muscle, brain tissue, liver tissue and kidney tissues. There are two types of stem cells; the first one is known as an Embryonic stem cells, these are removed from fetuses that have been aborted or from fertilized eggs that are left over from in vitro fertilization. In other words, these cells are derived from embryos (NIH, 2015). Embryonic stem cells can produce almost every tissue in the body and are known for their ability to cultivate quickly (NIH,2015).…
