cure? Well stem cell research is breaking ground in this area…..Did you know that stem cells are the source of at least some ‚ and perhaps all cancers. What you’re going to learn from me today is exactly what stem cell research is‚ how it can potentially help in treating a range of medical problems that could lead us closer to cures‚ the facts about the embryo’s used‚ and what we can do to support stem cell research. What exactly is stem cell research about? Did you know that stem cell research

the research of direct reprograming of a stem cell the “Pluripotent stem cell” (iPS) How it was discovered and the incredible ability it has to transform into any other tissue in the human body. Along with the trials and tribulations scientists had to go through generating iPS cells like the protesting and strict laws against using ES Cells due to the fact that the ES Cells are derived from the inner cell masses (ICM) of blastocysts also known as Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells and the embryos possibility

Stem Cell Culture Human embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst‚ an early-stage embryo. To culture these stem cells under controlled environments‚ one first must have a growth medium. This growth medium is made with DMEM/F12‚ which is cell culture medium‚ a 20 percent Knockout Serum Replacement‚ 100 μM β-Mercaptoethanol‚ 1 percent non-essential Amino Acid‚ and a Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor. This medium is then changed out everyday

Structure of the Stem The internal structure of the stem is usually more complex than the other plant organs for it performs and provides various functions. These functions are: * For mechanical support * For conduction of water * For conduction and storage of manufactured food * For continuous growth of the stem in thickness These functions are centered at the fibro vascular system that is composed of two major tissues‚ the xylem and the phloem. Internal Parts of Woody Stems 1. Protective

Aechmea fasciata: A plant analyzed Meaning spear tipped‚ in Greek. Its common name is Silver Vase. It is called Silver Vase because it sort of looks like a silver vase with a spiny pink flower. From the family Bromeliaceae. Although the Aechmea fasciata is a widely used house plant the most popular bromeliad is the Pineapple. Some bromeliads‚ such as Aechmea fasciata‚ are epiphytic meaning they grow on other plants. A true epiphyte is a plant driven by demands for light or moisture to seek a perch

TRADITIONAL DYE PLANTS OF MANIPUR Sanjeev Rana Knitwear Department‚ National Institute of Fashion Technology Abstract Manipur is one of the richest states in plant biodiversity in the North Eastern states of India. Different ethnic groups‚ residing in Manipur before the introduction of the chemical dyes into the state‚ used the dyes extracted from the plants. Women in Manipur practice dyeing using varieties of plant leaves‚ flowers and tree barks. The natural dyes were obtained from plants and have

PLANT RESPONSES TROPISM is a biological phenomenon‚ indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism‚ usually a plant‚ in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms‚ this response is dependent on the direction of the species. The word tropism comes from the Greek trope ("to turn" or "to change"). Tropisms are usually named for the stimulus involved and may be either positive (towards the stimulus) or negative (away from the stimulus). Phototropism is the growth response

physiological definition of growth is “An irreversible change in the organism‚ organ or cell is called growth”‚ which includes increase in mass weight or volume of living organism‚ it leads to development in plants. REGION OF GROWTH: Growth region is located at extreme apices of root‚ stem‚ leaf where we make out meristematic tissue. In addition to above‚ the region where intercalary and lateral meristem is present is also considered as growth region. PHASES OF GROWTH: Growth is a complex process

Stem cells. To be or not to be It is one of the most evocative phrases in the lexicon of science: stem cells research‚ the creation of cells that can be used to make people healthier‚ stronger and even can treat cancer – the greatest killer of our time. Stem cells have been touted as one of the most significant discoveries in medical history! The ongoing research in this field hold high hopes that in a few years stem cells used in genetic therapy may be able to cure or alleviate the suffering

Fast Plants Material and Methods When first preparing our fast plants we had to set up four different systems that would dictate our variable of fluorescent light. Each system would provide light to our fast plants for different amounts of time per day. Our systems were set up for 0 hours of light‚ 6 hours of light‚ 12 hours of light‚ and 24 hours of light. To setup the lab we began to setup our lighting system with fluorescent a timer for each set of fast plants. Our 24 hours was set up in
