Induction ▪ Cell-cell signaling -What does development encompass? • Development begins at fertilization • Study of the emergence of living order -What are the basic questions in developmental biology? 1. Question of differentiation-how can identical genetic instructions produce different types of cells? How can single cell generate so many cells? 2. Question of morphogenesis-how can cells in body organize into functional structures? 3. Question of growth-how do cells

tissue or organ system. In short‚ adult stem cells are meant to sustain and restore the tissue or organ system they are designated. They are thought to exist in most of the body’s tissues such as the blood‚ brain‚ liver‚ intestine or skin. If the differentiations of adult stem cells are able to be manifested in the setting of the laboratory‚ adult stem cells may become the basis of transplantation-based therapies. The other type of stem cell research is over the human embryonic stem cell. The embryonic

1. What factors account for the success of IKEA? IKEA’s success was attributed to a number of core competency factors such as its strong brand image‚ having a well-defined target market‚ its cost cutting corporate culture which led to flat-packaging of its products‚ developing good working relationships with its suppliers‚ creating a “partnership” relationship with consumers and proper understanding of its consumers’ behavior. IKEA was able to

Few recent scientific issues have stimulated so much media attention‚ public debate and government involvement as that of stem cell research. Stem cells offer people hope by promising to greatly extend the number and range of patients who could benefit from transplants‚ and to provide novel therapies to treat debilitating diseases such as diabetes‚ Parkinson’s‚ Huntington’s‚ heart disease and stroke‚ as well as accidental damage such as spinal cord injury. So why would anyone object to research in
