Stem Cells: Are They the Cure for Diabetes? Stem Cells: Are They the Cure for Diabetes? Diabetes is a disease that affects 25.8 million people in the United States alone‚ not to mention the 7.0 million people who are undiagnosed and the staggering 79 million people who are pre-diabetic (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‚ 2011). That number alone should send out an alarm that a cure is needed. Not just a treatment‚ but a real cure that will free sufferers from the strict

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

Stem cells – the cure to Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic Fibrosis is one of the UK’s most common life threatening diseases with it affecting over 9‚000 people. Statistics show that one in twenty five people in the UK carry the faulty gene‚ each week five babies are born with the disease and another two young lives are lost. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by a recessive allele. It affects the internal organs‚ especially the lungs and digestive system‚ by clogging them with thick sticky mucus

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from human somatic cells are a very recent technology of our world. They were first created using mice in 2006‚ and were created from human cells in 2007 by Japanese and US scientists. For many people‚ they represent a beautiful work of science that will help to save many lives. Induced pluripotent stem cells are human skin cells that have been reprogrammed to have the stem cells ability to

to kill‚ stem cells may be the greatest advancement of human science and medicine; but they also may become the greatest failure. There are those who would do anything to advance stem cell research and unlock their potentially enlightening secrets; however‚ there are also those who would go to any means to halt and destroy progress‚ mentioning words such as “ethics‚” “morals‚” and “God.” But what critics don’t understand are the potential benefits‚ as well as new‚ “ethical” sources‚ of stem cells.
