Induced pluripotent stem cell

multipotent population of cells that arises at the neural plate border in the vertebrate embryo. The neural crest contributes cartilage, bone and connective tissue to the craniofacial skeleton as well as neurons and glial cells to the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells to the skin, and mesenchyme and smooth muscle cells to the cardiovascular system (6, 7). Neural crest stem cells have been found to persist into adulthood as a population of dormant multipotent stem cells with a high…

The Human Genetic Modification, a new futuristic medical tool, comes as a blessing but also comes as a curse too. Can we even handle this gift that was bestowed to us for its usage? That, however, would be answered; as Opposition. In the articles, “Understanding Genetic (diseases)”, Dr. Maggie Pearce, a Geneticist, stated, “[Broken Genes] Too hard to fix someone’s broken genes”. Likewise, to believers, human genetic modification comes as a blessing to few dozen people, but the thoughts itself…

lives?” is the question embryonic stem cell research poses. Embryonic stem cell research is an attempt to use embryonic stem cells to find cure for diseases. Although science has found cure for many diseases in last few years, it is not possible to cure every single disease. Thus we should not be killing embryos, to cure disease. As we are finding cure to the deadliest, we are also planning to kill lives by using up embryos. While it might save lives, embryonic stem cell research should not be…

Stem cells have always been a “hot button issue” in America ever since 1998 when President Bill Clinton requested a National Advisory Commission to study the topic of stem cell research. Being that stem cells are a relatively new discovery and research has been heavily restricted, many people know little about them. Without prior background knowledge, it becomes easy for us to be manipulated in an argument. Logos is one of the trickiest forms of rhetoric used, because it employs reason and logic…

Stem cells are cells that have the potential to regenerate into new cells that can be used as a repair tool. Stem cells can be from animal or from human. This paper will be looking at the controversy of stem cell. The first part will like as the pros and cons of stem cell and the last part will be my opinion on stem cell. Pros - Stem cells have the capability to regenerate into new tissues, systems and organs, when given the opportunity to do such as placing it within the human body. With…

Greeting fellow peers I want to thank you all for coming out to hear my speech.I would like to start off with a quote."Every risk is worth taking, as long as it's for a good cause, and contributes to a good life." ~unknown. I strongly believe major explorations are worth the risk.Why?I say this because taking a risk can help you accomplish new things that either you wanted to do or never did.Listed in front of me I have 3 reasons cite about why major explorations are worth the risk. For…

In the video it describes the dilemma of cloning and how certain individuals feel as if this is dangerous and immoral. Unfortunately, several people are scared of cloning and what it could do to our society as well as how it could compromise the dignity of human life as we know it. It is true that scientific inventions and technology can be abused, but if we stick with “what-ifs” and our fears, we can never learn the full potential and ingenuity of biotechnology as a whole. Regardless on if…

During this lab observations of the external and internal structures of seastars were examined through dissection. Most notably, seastars are creatures that are deuterostomes. First of all, deuterostomes are organisms within Echinodermata and Chordate phylum that developed anus first. The egg for echinoderms have a little quantity of yolk that allows the egg to divide in its first and second cleavage stage into four equal blastomeres; this is also known as holoblastic cleavage. Although, if the…

The final section of the film will focus on the more recent history of sexuality regarding age. Specifically, focus will be on the sexual rejuvenation of the elderly and the modern theme of a lust for innocence, which rose with the growing toleration of sexuality in much of the modern world. Modern indeed, rejuvenation therapies have only been prevalent throughout the last century as an option for older individuals to regain the youthful sexual functioning or desire that dissipates with age and…

Introduction Stem Cells Significance Stem cells are significant because of the social controversy and medical opportunities. Stem cells are important to the national community through the medical advancements. Stem cells are controversial because using the cells defines when the life of a person begins. Investigation The investigation behind stem cells is important because it can improve people’s quality of life and their lifespan. Stem cells are controversial because christians believe…
