Introduction When an egg is fertilized by a sperm to make a human embryo‚ that single fertilized egg cell divides millions of times to form the approximately six billion cells that make up the human body. These types of cells (4 to 7 day old embryo) are called embryonic stem cells that are unspecialized and have the ability to renew themselves and give rise to specialized cell types (they have not yet developed into cells that perform a specific function). A stem cell is uncommitted and remains

Advancements in Cancer Technology and Treatment Even though there is no cure for cancer‚ technology has made many strides in hoping to cure cancer. In 2003‚ Eric Schuetz‚ a pharmacist who works for the Maryland Poison Center‚ learned that he had an inoperable brain tumor after receiving an MRI scan for a non-cancerous pituitary tumor. Within that year he received “gamma knife” treatment‚ and then 10 years later ran a half-marathon with his wife to help fundraise money for the cancer center. When

In the early half of the 1800s‚ T. Schwann and M.J. Schleiden introduced the cell theory; the theory that individual cells make up all tissues.1 However‚ due to the lack of staining techniques at the time‚ not much was known about nervous tissue and many scientists wondered if it even conformed to the same rules followed by all the other cells in the body. Two major theories were proposed regarding the nervous system: the reticular theory by Josef van Gerlach‚ and the neuron doctrine theory.1 Eventually

Lactoferrin also could be used potentially to help treat some auto-immune diseases. Sufferers of arthritis‚ multiple sclerosis‚ and even septic shock could benefit from Lactoferrin’s ability to keep the immune system in check and from over-reacting. In studies‚ it was found that Lactoferrin reduced the mortality of pigs introduced to septic shock by twenty five percent. It was also show to reduce the blood-toxin levels in rats in another study. Lactoferrin’s many properties‚ lowering inflammatory
