The article‚ “Restoration of vision after transplantation of photoreceptors”‚ addresses the outcome whether transplantation of photoreceptor cells can actually improve vision. The study was tested on animals‚ such as mice‚ to discover their ingrained ailment of night blindness. The research showed credible evidence regarding the mouse’s retinas and their innate disorder. The transplantation of photoreceptors contributes responsive signals to light and are highly similar to adult’s photoreceptors

proven wrong by simply looking at the striking progress that has been made in the field. Scientist at Brown have successfully cultured cells to engineer matrices to grow organ tissue on. In combination with a matrix‚ tissue engineering can be used to create organs in the lab. Tissue engineer Nina Tandon claims that scientist have been able to utilize induced

Stem cells are cells that have the ability to become any cell type in the body such as a muscle‚ a brain‚ or red blood cell‚ or any other cell. Because of that‚ they are able to repair organs and tissues and can potentially treat diseases such as diabetes and heart disease‚ which is the number one killer in the Unites States. Although stem cells can help massively‚ there is ethical controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research involves taking the stem cells from

like to introduce you to Embryonic Stem Cell. Embryonic stem cell are by most scientists and researchers to cure spinal cord injuries‚ multiple sclerosis‚ diabetes‚ Parkinson’s disease‚ cancer‚ Alzheimer’s diseases‚ heart disease‚ hundreds of rare immune system and genetic disorders and much more. These Embryonic Stem cell have the ability to form doll adult cell types. Stem cells are found limited quantities in every human body‚ and can be extracted from adult tissue with great effort but without

naturally‚ such as in some plants and or bacteria‚ the type of cloning that is most known is the ‘artificially copying a whole organism’ cloning. According to the National Institutes of Health‚ scientists remove a mature somatic cell‚ any type of cell‚ except a sperm or egg cell‚ from the animal the scientists desire to copy. The chosen DNA is then transferred into an egg of the same species that has had its own DNA removed. In cloning‚ DNA only comes from one organism giving the offspring an exact duplicate

I chose to research Psychology: Advances in Neuroscience (Secrets of the Brain). The research in the field of Neuroscience is to identify the differences in the structure of ordinary brains as well as those with disorders and disease‚ such as autism‚ depression‚ dementia‚ schizophrenia‚ and Alzheimer’s‚ as well as how to diagnose and understand how the disorders arise. This research has helped neuroscientist know how the brain works. It has helped to identify how billions of neurons produce and employ

Brave New World‚ a science fiction novel written by Aldous Huxley in 1932 envisioned a future where all human beings were created in a lab; their‚ genes were manipulated‚ and the undesirable characteristics were removed. The embryos were modified to achieve certain levels of intelligence‚ physical strength and beauty. Little did Huxley know that his imagination is now possibly becoming a reality. In the recent decades‚ the field of human genetic engineering has become one of the major areas in science

The doctors said there was little to no chances of her surviving‚ and there was nothing more they could do- unless an embryonic stem cell transplant was possible. Although some people may think otherwise‚ I believe that stem cell research on embryos should be continued because scientists will be able to find a safe solution to curing dangerous diseases‚ the research won’t be hurting anyone‚ and it could

memories into a new brain during regeneration (1). They have the ability to regenerate because they have specialized cells called neoblasts‚ which are a kind of stem cell (Reddien 4). Neoblasts have the ability to form into any type of cell‚ which makes regeneration easier (4). The cut area of the planarian would quickly produce the blastema‚ which is a structure of rapidly dividing cells that can be seen as a white spot where the planarian was bisected (4). The planarian then regenerate a head from

many new areas of biology and found two areas of biology that interested me the most: microbiology and cell biology and during my final two years I have‚ through my module options and project choices‚ tailored my degree towards these two interests. In my third year of study‚ I undertook a project studying soil-dwelling bacteria and their ability to produce antibiotic compounds‚ while
