Induced pluripotent stem cell

Stem cells are becoming increasingly more popular and more useful in the world that we are living in. When scientists first started using pluripotent stem cells, cells that can replicate themselves, they realized that they can come from two main places. They can come from embryos or they can come from certain places in the human body. They are being used for many new health innovations including being used to create blood. According to Catharine Paddock in an article written for Medical News…

Stem Cells One of the biggest ethical and scientific debates in the scientific communities involves Stem Cell research. Stem cells are cells with the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body. They can serve as a type of internal repair system for the body. They are distinguished from other cells because they are unspecialized and are capable of renewing themselves through cell division. Also, under physiologic or experimental conditions they can be induced to become tissue…

Stem Cell Research Science Stem cells are important because they have special properties that separate them from other cells. Some of those properties include their regenerative nature, this gives them the ability to regenerate and change as to adapt to the environment of any specialised cell. Stem cells also have the bailey to repair themselves and multiply to repair and replace other specialised cells and damaged tissues in the body (James 2009). Stem cells have there ability to change so…

curious about how they could be exploited. In one essay Huxley mentions that “The dictatorships of tomorrow will deprive men of their freedom, but will give them in exchange a happiness nonetheless real, as a subjective experience, for being chemically induced” (Men’s Mind, 1). These ideologies are clearly elaborated upon in both Brave New World and Island, where stimulants play relevant roles in daily lives. Huxley also feels that drugs “may start by being something of an embarrassment, these…

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…

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…
