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

regions in the brain and only expressed during the beginning stages in the embryo proliferation and neurogenesis [2] . The FGF is also involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system [4]. Recent advances in isolating and maintaining stem cells have shown FGF2‚ and 5 are one of the key factors of proliferation and differentiation.

Stem cells and stem cell therapy is a fairly new scientific concept that was founded in the mid twentieth century. It is based on the idea of regenerating parts of the body that have been damaged due to disease or illness. It is a form of treatment unlike most of the drugs and medications beginning to surface‚ mainly because scientists believe that the purpose of stem cell therapy is to focus more on the regeneration of the human body. The unique abilities and properties that stem cells hold‚ create

Book Review 1 The book review is about the book titled “Brainwashed: the seductive appeal of mindless neuroscience”. The book was published a couple of years ago in 2013 in New York by Sally Satel and Scott O. Lilienfeld. I chose to write a review on this book because a couple of years ago when I started school at Portland State‚ I had joined a book club through the neuroscience club at PSU‚ where they chose this book for a term. During that time‚ the book was very trending due to some contemporary

The Mesopotamian “Epic of Gilgamesh”‚ at its core‚ is a story of heroic deeds. The epic details Gilgamesh overcoming several obstacles in his quest to becoming an exceptional leader and warrior. This particular epic has been since 2300 B.C.E. and‚ not surprisingly‚ it has been used as a source of inspiration for many years. Specifically‚ in the 1994 episode of “Batman: The Animated Series” entitled Bane‚ the titular villain is subjected to an invasive experimental procedure that had been dubbed Project

When most people think about a fetus‚ the first thing that comes to mind is innocence. Due to the views on a fetus‚ experimentation is not publically endorsed. People can be uninformed about fetal experimentation‚ which can lead to rumors of conspiracy revolving around the research. If people would take a step back and learn about fetal tissue exploration‚ then these fabrications would not longer take place. Just like anything within the research field‚ there are going to be pros and cons. The pros

EEGs Clinical psychologists and neuroscientific researchers have always sought to understand what is going on in the brain and what is on the mind of their clients. For centuries‚ direct examination of the brain was elusive and almost nearly impossible due to the inadequacy of technology. However‚ noninvasive advances in brain examination have alleviated those challenges‚ making it possible to explore and investigate the brain in depth. Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to monitor and test electrical

From the time of ancient Egyptians the prosthetics were created to help the amputees and giving them a feeling of wholesome. The earliest recorded prosthetic comes from 15th century B.C which was made of wood and leather and it was used to replace toes of an amputees. Prosthetics and bionics have always helped people recover from their disabilities and gave them a chance to live a better but not completely normal life. In 21st century new experts with new ideas are making prosthetics and bionics
