no known cures for this genetic diseases‚ but there are treatments‚ and research that can help control this disease‚ and to possibly make a breakthrough discovery for a cure. I am patient who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. I believe that with the stem cell research‚ it can not only help to understand the disease better and to possibly treat it‚ but it can help people like me and other who are suffering from the symptoms of this disease. Even though there are no known cures for Cystic Fibrosis‚ there

by two scientists. They are Sir John B. Gurdon from United Kingdom and Prof. Shina Yamanaka from Japan. They both contribute to develop human cell studying. Official Nobel Prize announced that the Prize motivation is "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent". They discover that mature cells can be converted to stem cells. Sir John B. Gurdon was born in Dippenhall in 1933. He is a British developmental biologist‚ which is the discipline of organism grow and

President Barack Obama’s removal of the Bush administration’s restrictions on federal funds for stem cell research. He explains that is important to understand that the research is a delicate process‚ and that is has the possibility to provide great benefits to medicine‚ such as the regeneration of cells in the human body. He also says he will not allow any federal funds for human cloning; stating that it is wrong and is not social acceptable. President

Batten down the hatches: The disease that affects the world The human body is a very complex and specific aspect of the world today. Batten disease can alter the entire human body as we know it. If you are diagnosed with batten disease that’s- When things go Astray. This disease is a very rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects 1 out of 2 of every 100‚000 births(Batten Disease Information Page‚2012).

molecule called progerin. The research in this experiment presents the effects of progerin and lamins on the functioning of cells‚ humans‚ and the correlation between Progeria and aging. With this knowledge‚ the Children’s Hospital at Boston began a clinical trial with Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) that attempted to treat Progeria because they could undo nuclear blebbing in cells with progerin. Since children with Progeria is a very small group‚ some observations of changes had to be based

and breast cancer stem cells Within a tumor exists a subpopulation of cells that present less abnormal characteristics; however‚ there exists another type that hold the potential to recreate and expand tumor mass. The latter share similar characteristics to normal stem cells‚ which are the unlimited ability to self-renew and the ability to maintain undifferentiated. Over the course of time‚ these cells will differentiate into tumor stem cells (TSC) or tumor-initiating cells with stem-like properties

Fifty years ago we did not even know what a gene was‚ although today barely a day passes without radio stations‚ television stations or newspapers discussing genetically modified food‚ animal clones‚ DNA finger printing‚ transgenic animals‚ human gene therapy and not to mention the ever-going debate to legalise the medical research of stem cells.
