Three things that I have been interested in for a while are aging‚ embryonic stem cells‚ and intelligence as an entirety. These three particular subjects interest because the nature of each I do not fully understand. Ever since I saw my first superhero movie I’ve wondered how I could acquire such abilities but one that seemed the most interesting to me not because it shows up in the movies but in literature from all eras of humanity when we as humans first began recording the world around us.

Induced pluripotent stem cells from human revertant keratinocytes for the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa Noriko Umegaki-Arao et al. Sci Transl Med 6‚ 264ra164 (2014); DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.3009342 Editor ’s Summary Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare‚ inherited skin disorder that causes such severe blistering that patients are often relegated to a delicate life in bandages. Like a patchwork quilt‚ the skin of a patient with EB can consist of both mutated skin cells (which cause the disease)

The Mysterious Cell There is no cure‚ and while some can assume‚ no one knows the actual cause! How do words like this make you feel? What if these words were paired with your young child? How about the addition of shortened life span‚ major complications including loss of limbs‚ blindness and constant control? In many cases the same words are portrayed onto parents of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics everyday. On average‚ every hour of every day‚ someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus

University of California San Diego‚ created the random stickiness required for stem cells to properly adhere. The findings will better inform researchers across the world of how to make their biomaterials appropriately sticky for stem cells to grow. Previous attempts to recreate the process have managed only a uniform spread of sticky cells meaning there isn’t the maximum hindering the stem cells maturation into tissue cells.

run smoothly. One example of ethics in science is stem cell research. Stem Cell Research is when undeveloped cells are molded from adult cells‚ embryonic cells‚ and cord cells to finally be created as other cells. Stem Cell research is used as a treatment for such problems as heart disease‚ diabetes leukemia‚ and etc. One pro is that adult stem cells are a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues. Researching and using these stem cells may lead to progress and future discoveries in the

makes gene therapy—despite its limitations— a worthwhile pursuit. Gene therapy is the use of DNA as a pharmaceutical agent to treat disease. It derives its name from the idea that DNA can be used to supplement or alter genes within an individual’s cells as a therapy to treat disease. The most common form of gene therapy involves using DNA that encodes a functional‚ therapeutic gene to replace a mutated gene. Other forms involve directly correcting a mutation‚ or using DNA that encodes a therapeutic

Running head: ADVANTAGES OF STEM CELL RESEARCH Abstract Every day millions of Americans across the country suffer from ailments ranging from diabetes to spinal cord injuries. However‚ new scientific advancements in the field of stem cell research may one day end their pain and suffering. Therefore‚ it is essential for Americans to support stem cell research. Unfortunately‚ the research has become the center of a controversy in recent years. Opponents of the research argue against the destruction

examples of these highly debated topics are stem cell research and euthanasia. In the U.S. today‚ many people are questioning the morality of stem cell research and euthanasia. Stem cells are cells that can renew themselves. They have the ability of making an organism regenerate its tissue. Many people disagree with stem cell research because it involves the human embryo‚ therapeutic cloning‚ and preimplantation. To initiate the creation of a stem cell‚ the procedure requires the use of one of these

process that generates all of our blood cells is called hematopoesis. This multistep process takes place mostly in the bone marrow. Hematopoiesis actually starts in embryonic development at a different site called the yolk sac‚ but at this early stage‚ only a few types of cells are generated. The process moves to other places‚ such as the fetal liver‚ but at birth‚ most hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. At any given time‚ there is a hierarchy of cells in the bone marrow‚ each stage or level
