Pg i Stem Cell Technology: The Controversies surrounding Stem Cell Research Introduction Whether you are in favor of or against certain forms of stem cell research‚ it cannot be denied that an immense amount of benefits are gained from the research. The extent of this research is endless. Scientists are only beginning to explore this technology. However‚ no research or medical technology is without controversy. Most of the debate falls between the embryonic stem (ESC) and

Anchorage Dependent Animal Cell Culture Animal Cell Culture: Its origin and importance Prior to discussing about the anchorage dependence of animal cell cultures‚ let us first briefly discuss animal cell culture in general and its importance. Animal cell culture has a history of over 100 years when the first attempts to grow cells were made by Ross Harrison who was able to show the development of nerve fibres from frog embryo tissue cultured in a blood clot. Physiologist Alexis Carrel was able

What are stem cells? Stem cells are found in many places in the body. They are important because they can divide to make copies of themselves. They can also develop into different types of cells‚ for example skin‚ blood‚ brain and bone. Why is stem cell research important for Parkinson’s? There is currently no known cure for Parkinson’s. While medicines can help to manage the symptoms‚ they may only be effective for a certain period of time before side effects develop.2 Brain surgery can offer

Issues Of Stem Cell Research When it comes to great controversial debates Stem Cell Research is one of the first that comes to my mind. It involves concerning issues that many Americans today argue that have positive or destructive outcomes. It’s a touchy subject but one that must be addressed if it is to be accepted by all those around us. Just like abortion Stem Cell Research causes sides to be divided‚ but before we can begin to argue both sides of this difficult debate we must first realize

Eukaryotic cells were known to have many differences in structure and content with prokaryotic cells – exclusive organelles that can only be found in eukaryotic cells. Presumably‚ it was thought that eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure‚ whereas prokaryotes have fairly simple. Modern technology and understanding of differences between these two types of cells may help scientists to propose new hypotheses on eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells origins. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes have more

First‚ where do stem cells come from‚ and what properties do they exhibit that make them stem cells? Human embryonic stem cells come from an embryo that develops from an egg. These eggs were originally collected for reproductive purposes. The eggs are fertilized in vitro‚ and the embryo is donated for research. The donation only happens after the eggs are no longer needed. The donor is informed of the intended use‚ and consent has been given. These stem cells are found when the embryo is between
