It is heartbreaking when a man and woman just can’t seem to conceive a child‚ but with the medical advances today we have something called in vitro fertilization. The process of in vitro fertilization is not guaranteed to be 100% to always work but it definitely increases the chances of a woman giving birth to a baby. Now imagine that baby is sick or not healthy. Maybe that baby has a rare disease and there is

During the last few decades plant cell and tissue culture have arisen as a new technique in plant biology for many purposes‚ among them genetic germplasm conservation and in vitro production of bioactive substances used in pharmaceutical industries [9]. Herbal medicines are generally perceived as safe products [10] and some of these safe therapies are used to treat liver diseases‚ diabetes and jaundice [11]. In the search for

have suggested the bladder is one of the most responsive organs to induction of detoxification enzymes by extract. This was evident in human bladder cancer cells in vitro and in animal models in vivo. Sulforaphane and broccoli sprout extract were also observed to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human bladder cancer cells in vitro‚ an anti-cancer effect attributed to the sulforaphane potential in the sprouts.

chemical reacts with human cells and the human body. According to ProCon.org‚ in vitro testing is another option as an alternative to animal testing‚ this involves observing cells in a petri dish and recording the reactions the cells have to the chemicals being tested. In vitro testing is less expensive than animal testing. For example DNA analysis in an animal can cost about $32‚000 whereas the equivalent test for the in vitro alternative only costs $11‚000.

The issue of stem cells is currently the dominant subject in the debate of biotechnology and human genetics: Should embryonic or adult stem cells be used for potential medical therapies? Stem cells are an undifferentiated cluster of cells which‚ depending on their surrounding conditions‚ are capable of developing into other types of cells (Perry 20). The expression "stem cell" refers to a type of cell that not only produces various types of additional cells‚ but also has the ability to replicate

Familial Hypercholesterolemia Familial Hypercholesterolemia is an inherited genetic disorders which causes the body to be unable to remove and regulate the amounts of low density lipoprotein (LDL). [1] Due to its hereditary source‚ Familial Hypercholesterolemia usually begins at an early age‚ causes heart attacks and contributes to the development of Atherosclerosis. The human body regulates concentrations of low density lipoprotein in the body using LDL receptor genes‚ [2] but missense mutations
