First of all‚ dendritic cells are isolated from the prostate cancer patient. The specific tumor antigen is then isolated‚ which in this case is the prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP). The dendritic cells are then exposed in vitro to a fusion protein that is consistent of PAP and GM-CSF‚ which is a cytokine important in the activation and proliferation of these dendritic cells. The activated APCs are then reinfused into the patient and stimulate TH and Tc cells which then specifically

With genetic engineering on the rise‚ there are now procedures such as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)‚ a procedure by which embryos are checked for genetic abnormalities before the preferred embryos are implanted via in vitro fertilisation. This system was initially used to avert the birth of children with deleterious genetic disorders. However‚ it is now used for disputable reasons such as selection for sex.

Not all diseases that affect the body can be studied by using in vitro testing‚ either (“Should Animals Be Used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?”). On that note‚ if one was to study a condition that could not be researched by using cell cultures and animals were no longer an option‚ humans would have to be tested

The leading cause for death in a majority of countries including the United States and India is ischemic heart disease. It is estimated that one fifths of deaths in India are a result of cardiovascular diseases which include coronary heart disease‚ congestive heart failure‚ peripheral arterial disease‚ rheumatic heart disease and many more. These diseases result largely in ischemic heart failure which‚ if severe enough‚ can cause the loss of critical amounts of cardiomyocytes. This can lead to several

couples may not be diagnosed with any fertility problems at all. However‚ if you are still having trouble there are many helpful treatments of conceiving a child‚ for example‚ fertility drugs‚ artificial inseminations‚ donor sperm‚ donor eggs‚ in vitro fertilization‚ and surrogacy. One treatment is to use fertility drugs. This method is injected or taken in pill form‚ the drugs release hormones that induce ovulation to boost egg production and make the uterus more receptive to embryo implantation

This is so because there is no clear scientific evidence that clarifies where humanity begins. If a doctor killed a baby one minute after it it were born‚ he would be charged with murder‚ but if that same doctor killed a baby that is two weeks in vitro‚ it is abortion? At what minute‚ or second‚ in a child’s development is life considered precious? Abortion is a euphemism for murder because all life is precious‚ no matter the stage of development.

since we have made such progress in technology‚ I am scared that we are keeping too many people alive‚ including some that might not fit the environment in which they live. In addition‚ we are allowing some infertile people to reproduce through in-vitro fertilization‚ when apparently they were not capable naturally. We are also letting babies survive by saving their lives at their birth even though they might not be perfectly healthy or other traits which could bedetrimental for the human species
