Stem cell research is a very controversial topic‚ many say that humans should be playing god and that all the money going into stem cell research should be going to others causes like charity which would apparently help more people in the long run compared to what stem cells might be capable of doing. However‚ in our opinion‚ stem cell research will help a lot more people in the future. One example is that stem cell research can potentially help treat different kinds of diseases‚ like Parkinson’s

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 differentiate

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth.
