process that generates all of our blood cells is called hematopoesis. This multistep process takes place mostly in the bone marrow. Hematopoiesis actually starts in embryonic development at a different site called the yolk sac‚ but at this early stage‚ only a few types of cells are generated. The process moves to other places‚ such as the fetal liver‚ but at birth‚ most hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. At any given time‚ there is a hierarchy of cells in the bone marrow‚ each stage or level

Three things that I have been interested in for a while are aging‚ embryonic stem cells‚ and intelligence as an entirety. These three particular subjects interest because the nature of each I do not fully understand. Ever since I saw my first superhero movie I’ve wondered how I could acquire such abilities but one that seemed the most interesting to me not because it shows up in the movies but in literature from all eras of humanity when we as humans first began recording the world around us.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis‚ usually referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease‚ is a condition that continually deteriorates motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neurons are nerve cells that control muscle movements. When these nerves fail‚ the muscles they are supposed to communicate with don’t receive the full messages that are being carried from the brain or spinal cord‚ causing the muscles to stop working properly. Early symptoms of this disease include cramping or twitching of

President Barack Obama’s removal of the Bush administration’s restrictions on federal funds for stem cell research. He explains that is important to understand that the research is a delicate process‚ and that is has the possibility to provide great benefits to medicine‚ such as the regeneration of cells in the human body. He also says he will not allow any federal funds for human cloning; stating that it is wrong and is not social acceptable. President

The Shaking Palsy and The Stem Cell INTRODUCTION 1- Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by at least two of four cardinal features: bradykinesia (slowness and minimal movement)‚ rigidity‚ resting tremor (trembling)‚ and an impairment of postural balance leading to disturbance of gait and falling. The most common type of parkinsonism is idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD)‚ first described in an essay by James Parkinson‚ an English physician‚ in 1817 as paralysis agitans (the shaking

The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a small rodent‚ a mouse‚ one of the most numerous species of the genus Mus. The house mouse has been domesticated as the pet or fancy mouse‚ and as the laboratory mouse which is one of the most important model organisms in biology and medicine. It is by far the most commonly used genetically altered laboratory mammal. Mouse and man The sequence of the mouse genome was published in 2002. "The mouse and human genomes are very similar‚" says Dr Jackson. "There

Identical twins? No‚ clones. Cloning is the production of an identical copy of a cell or organism (Rugnetta). One company involved in the process and experimentation of cloning was Clonaid‚ a human cloning company whose initial goal was to “achieve eternal youth by cloning themselves and transferring their personalities into their clones” (Farrell and Carson-Dewitt 1). In the year 2003‚ they claimed to have created the first human clone‚ a baby girl named Eve (Farrell and Carson-Dewitt 1). Since
