Neighbors: Stem Cells and Their Niche Elaine Fuchs‚* Tudorita Tumbar‚ and Geraldine Guasch Howard Hughes Medical Institute The Rockefeller University New York‚ New York 10021 Review The potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine relies upon removing them from their natural habitat‚ propagating them in culture‚ and placing them into a foreign tissue environment. To do so‚ it is essential to understand how stem cells interact with their microenvironment‚ the so-called stem cell niche‚

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

look at the STEM job shortage. The proponents of STEM say that we have an acute shortage of STEM graduates. But is that true? One indicator is employment numbers. Let’s take 2012. In that year we had twice as many people with STEM degrees (immigrants and native born) than STEM jobs available. 5.3 million STEM jobs vs. 12.1 million people with STEM degrees. With less than half of the immigrants with STEM degrees were working in STEM jobs. Wages are good measure of labor demand. If STEM graduates were

Suddenly‚ stem cells are everywhere. Once relegated to the depths of esoteric health journals‚ the microscopic clusters have made their way to the nation�s front pages. The complexity and drama surrounding these relatively simple cells has increased due a ticking clock: By the end of the month‚ President Bush is scheduled to decide whether to continue federal funding for stem cell research. The question of using stem cells for research is intrinsically scientific‚ and yet has become the political

After reading the “‘Bubble baby’ stem cell” paper I have come to the conclusion that stem cell research is an excellent thing. The reason why I think that is if we never do research and create a cure for “Bubble baby disease” then we will continue to lose babies. But‚ if we risk a few lives of babies for research in the long run it will save millions if not billions of lives. In this essay I will give three reasons on why I think stem cell research is a great thing. “Bubble baby disease.” In my

economy have been thriving‚ jobs in science‚ Technology‚ engineering‚ and math (STEM) have not had a major growth within the 21st Century. As a result‚ the lack of growth in STEM has had a major impact on the economy. Because of the high level of thinking and problem-solving skills needed to understand STEM subjects‚ the people who work in these fields end up having a high income. Another factor that contributes to the STEM are the number of men that pursue these careers. Over the past few years‚ many

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is no longer a future unrealistic concept‚ it is here and having enormous impacts on the medical field. Stem cells are the primary cells that can be trained to develop into any human cell tissue such as muscle‚ skin‚ and brain. However‚ in embryonic stem cell research‚ to retrieve stem cells from embryos requires a process called therapeutic cloning where a person’s DNA is put into an unfertilized human egg (effectively cloning a person)‚ the embryo is then

problem: Multiple factors contribute to the underrepresentation of women and girls in the STEM fields. The factors can be categorized into following areas: Social‚ cultural‚ environmental‚ and bias operating at unconscious levels. Girls and women are socially labeled to believe they have a fixed amount of intelligence. Girls and women more likely to believe the stereotype‚ lose confidence‚ and disengage from STEM as a potential career when they encounter difficulties in their course work. There exists
