no known cures for this genetic diseases‚ but there are treatments‚ and research that can help control this disease‚ and to possibly make a breakthrough discovery for a cure. I am patient who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. I believe that with the stem cell research‚ it can not only help to understand the disease better and to possibly treat it‚ but it can help people like me and other who are suffering from the symptoms of this disease. Even though there are no known cures for Cystic Fibrosis‚ there

molecule called progerin. The research in this experiment presents the effects of progerin and lamins on the functioning of cells‚ humans‚ and the correlation between Progeria and aging. With this knowledge‚ the Children’s Hospital at Boston began a clinical trial with Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) that attempted to treat Progeria because they could undo nuclear blebbing in cells with progerin. Since children with Progeria is a very small group‚ some observations of changes had to be based

and breast cancer stem cells Within a tumor exists a subpopulation of cells that present less abnormal characteristics; however‚ there exists another type that hold the potential to recreate and expand tumor mass. The latter share similar characteristics to normal stem cells‚ which are the unlimited ability to self-renew and the ability to maintain undifferentiated. Over the course of time‚ these cells will differentiate into tumor stem cells (TSC) or tumor-initiating cells with stem-like properties

Fifty years ago we did not even know what a gene was‚ although today barely a day passes without radio stations‚ television stations or newspapers discussing genetically modified food‚ animal clones‚ DNA finger printing‚ transgenic animals‚ human gene therapy and not to mention the ever-going debate to legalise the medical research of stem cells.

Therapeutic cloning. In order to understand Therapeutic cloning is important to define what stem cells are? Stem cells have the capacity to develop in any type of cell of the human body. For scientist this is a great advancement because stem cells can be used to reproduce and create organs to help people who are in need of an organ transplant or are undergoing terminal diseases. The opposition to therapeutic cloning argues that embryos should not be created for the sole purpose of being used as

Piper Peterson 10/7/12 American Literature Essay Human Cloning Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human being‚ a human body part or human genes using donor DNA from somatic cells. But cloning is not just a matter of science. Our ethics and humanity are confronted by an extraordinary science fiction come to life. The cloning methods of reproduction for animals are not new: frogs were cloned in 1952‚ Dolly the sheep in 1997‚ and dead cat Little Nikki in 2004
