“A Squirt of Stem Cell Gel Heals Brain Injuries” response What if we there is a gel that can increase the survival rate of those people who have a bad case of traumatic brain injuries? Based on this article by Sandeep Ravindran titled “A Squirt of Stem Cell Gel Heals Brain Injuries‚” it can be inferred in Sandeep’s thesis that it is just a matter of time. But in my opinion‚ this article does not provide concrete data that show how progressive and successful the treatment is‚ which makes this article

My medical name is known as “Ova”‚ but to my friends I am known as Eve or Egg. I have recently been in contact with a germ cell named Adam. His medical name is known as “Sperm” and he lives inside of a human body of a male. Adam and I have been dreaming and planning this adventure for quite some time now. I am just praying that when we finally do meet that everything goes according

Within biomedical engineering comes what is known as “germline engineering”. In this branch engineers partake in cell and modifications.

In other words‚ it is the functional unit of heredity and acts as instruction to make molecules in later process which is protein that dictates cell function.

Vessel injury exposes the subendothelial matrix components to blood cells causing the adhesion and aggregation of platelet (Gowert et al.‚ 2017). Upon activation of platelet‚ signal transduction will stimulate the activation phospholipases by the mobilization and increase intracellular

From the overall mistrust of corrupted doctors to the equally unethical scientists‚ this novel covers a lot of controversial topics such as the use of human cells to gain monetary value without the patient’s explicit request.
