Stem cell controversy

In the novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, he warns readers about the scientific advances and how they can be a threat to the society. This is evident in biology, technology, and psychology. According to Huxley, "The theme of Brave New World is not the advancement of science as such; it is the advancement of science as it affects human individuals." One the many scientific advances is biology. The mass production of humans is accomplished with the Bokanovsky process. This…

multivariable effects in cancer can be studied by observing D. melanogaster because of its tumorigenesis caused by genes and its surrounding environment. The development of tumors in D. melanogaster is similar to the pathway of a tumor in a mammalian cell as it undergoes…

the combination of meiotic and mitotic divisions that happen to form gametes; although, spermatogenesis and oogenesis both do happen in a productive organs and both produce haploid cells that get involved in fertilizations, there are many differences including the the location and the process of producing haploid cells differ. The process of producing male sperms…

My topic is Anti-ageing treatments. 1. a) Define key words like: Anti-ageing treatments: designed to prevent the appearance of getting older. Gerontology: the scientific study of old age, the process of ageing, and the particular problems of old people. Late life pathology b) What are Anti-ageing treatments? (Is it safe and Are they affective?) Anti-ageing is the study of reversing the processes of aging to extend the maximum lifespan. Researchers believe that future breakthroughs inmolecular…

advantages of an autologous stem cell transplant on Charlie’s bone marrow and immune system? - A majority of stem cells are in the bone marrow and some circulate to the blood system. The stem cells produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. When Charlie was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), his stems cells no longer made normal blood cells. Autologous stem cell transplant can be used after high doses of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy kills the cancer cells and also…

culturing cells on a biomaterial substrate until it has evolved into a functional tissue that can be transplanted into patients. The in vivo approach involves transplanting cells, either unaided, or in combination with a biomaterial scaffold, to create a local niche at the site of injury from where the cells could influence muscle regeneration either by integrating into the host tissue or by stimulating the body's own regenerative mechanisms to promote new tissue formation. The type of cells…

growth of body cells due to an excessive cell proliferation. An excessive cell proliferation refers to a sudden, rapid and extreme expansion or procreation of body cells, which are the basic units of all living things. (1,2,3). According to Cancer Research UK, in 2012, 14 million new cases and 8, 2 million deaths reported from global tumors (4). Generally, the human body consists of millions of cells that grow, split and die in a tightly organized procedure. Normally, these cells only split when…

Richard Dawkins is trying to argue that reality can be proven by scientific evidence and magic is used to explain the unknown. We classify something as “real” when we can prove it using our five senses. However, we can also develop new technology to extend the reach of our senses. “we can enhance our senses through the use of special instruments” For example, a microscope can be used and prove bacteria” (Dawkins 2011, p. 2 par. 3). Although, we cannot see microbes with our naked eyes we can use…

My academic and career goals focus on three objectives: continued civilian service to the nation, enrichment of the scientific community, and advancement of student understanding. My experiences with the military exposed me to combat arms, support, and logistics specialties that provided several valuable lessons. I learned how to operate as a member or leader of a team, how to prioritize and organize tasks, and how to effectively communicate to diverse audiences. By attending Ohio State for my…

first baby to be born using DNA from three people, hence given the name, three parent baby. The technique used to make the baby is called spindle transfer. In the process, the membrane surrounding the nucleus breaks down from two unfertilized egg cells each from the donor and the mother (Saey 2016). As chromosome are divided, they are attached to protein fibers called spindles (Saey 2016). These spindle and chromosomes are removed from the mother’s egg and emptied from the donor egg (Saey…
