Stem cells are primitive cells found in embryos‚ fetuses‚ and recently adults that can grow into 210 types of cells in the body. James A. Thomson‚ an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin‚ and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Thursday‚ November 8 1998 that they and their colleagues had isolated the cell. Scientists have tried for years to find stem cells because of their great medical value. Diseases such as Diabetes‚ Bone Marrow Cancer‚ Chronic

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

and Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is very controversial in today’s world. Although stem cell research has the potential for curing diseases and conditions‚ some people view stem cell research as unethical and immoral. People do not realize that there is hope for medical advancement today because medical specialists can use stem cell research to grow practically any cells needed for sick patients.

Recent studies of stem cells have played are very important because they show promise in helping man solve or at least grasp the solution to the diseases that have haunted him since his early days of conscious. The idea of stem cells is kind of a simple idea. This brings us to the first promise‚ not only are stem cells able to be taken from the human body‚ but scientists are now able to grow these cells in labs. The most worried over part is that when obtaining the cells‚ it doesn’t always

Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing

Stem Cell Research Legislation For some time now‚ stem cell research has been a major issue when it comes to ethics. “Ethics‚ science and religion became further intertwined with politics in the 1990’s‚ increasing the battles among congress‚ administrations‚ and other agencies” (Scott‚ 2006‚ p.153). Stem cell research is probably one of the most important scientific advancements in the past one hundred years. Stem Cell research began in the 1800’s‚ with the discovery that some cells could actually
