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

Introduction: What are stem cells? Stem cells are unspecialized cells with the capacity to divide and form specialized cells‚ when the circumstances call for it. There are two sources for stem cells: adult and embryonic. Adult stem cells are multipotent cells‚ which can be found in adult tissues. The cells are thought to reside in “niches” in organs and tissues‚ some of which are bone marrow‚ peripheral blood‚ skeletal muscle‚ brain‚ heart‚ and liver. These cells are capable of dividing following

Gene and cell therapy are new treatments for cancer patients. These treatments are easier on the patient than the standard methods that are offered. Although they are experimental and still under clinical trial‚ they have shown positive results in some patients. This treatment allows patients own bodies to fight the disease for them and not have to worry about reoccurrence. The one thing that needs to be considered when using these types of treatments are if they or not. Gene and cell therapy are

Introduction The current method of cell expansion using T25 flasks for human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been proven to be extremely time and space consuming‚ labour intensive and difficult for scale-up (Minimal of 200 T25 flasks needed). It is estimated 2.8x108 - 5.6x108 undifferentiated hESCs are required by the end of the expansion stage for the process to work‚ as at least 5x107 cells of well differentiated post-mitotic Nrl+/Crx+ precursors are needed for transplant (Maclaren et al‚ 2006)

multicellular organisms‚ the cells that make up their respective organisms have different structures depending on their function. The process in which cells get specialized is known as differentiation. Unspecialized cells‚ known as stem cells‚ can be called upon to replace damaged or aging tissues‚ or create new tissue for growth. An example of specialization can be found with blood cells. Every blood cell originates from the bone marrow‚ starting as a unspecialized stem cell known as a multipotential
