Stem cells are "blank" cells that have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body -- nerve cells‚ heart cells‚ kidney cells. Scientists are trying to harvest the cells before they have differentiated‚ then coax them into becoming certain types. If they could grow cardiac cells‚ for instance‚ scientists one day might be able to replace damaged heart tissue in someone who has had a heart attack. By growing nerve cells they might be able to repair brain cells damaged by Alzheimer’s or

Stem Cell Research: The Opportunity to Change Your Life Back to Normal Why is it that we don’t appreciate what we have until we don’t have it anymore? You don’t think much of your legs‚ your arms‚ or your eye. But it is only when you are unable to use one of these parts‚ or know that you will never be able to use it again‚ when you realize the grave importance of it. But what if I could tell you there is a way to repair the loss of that once unappreciated part of your body? With Stem Cell research

Thanks to stem cell research scientist are able to test new medications‚ learn how to repair or generate tissues or organs‚ understand disease processes and create many promising therapies. There is endless potential for scientists to learn about human growth and cell development from studying stem cells. However‚ there is a big controversy whether or not stem cell research is ethical‚ which continues to be an obstacle in advancing research. I believe that looking at the

RUNNING HEAD: Stem Cell Research- Reaction Paper Reaction Paper: Stem Cell Research Heather A. Lail Liberty University Stem cell research has bought about heated debate since the time it was reviled. Many different debates have been raised to justify and unjustified the use of stem cells for research throughout the years. The two most enduring debates that have stood the test of time have been the legal and ethical issues. The has been documented in countless research studies

April 26‚ 2011 Is Stem Cell Research Good or Bad? Stem cell research is a very complex subject. “Stem cells hold great potential for developing therapies to treat a wide range of human diseases. Already in clinical use is blood stem cell transplant‚ known well as bone marrow transplant therapy for the treatment of patients with certain types of blood diseases and cancers. The discovery of stem cells in various adult tissues‚ stem cells plasticity‚ and human embryonic stem cells bring excitement

Stem Cell Research: Right or Wrong? Many people believe that stem cell research could be helpful or destructive. Stem cells are the body’s raw materials. They are cells from which any other cells with specialized functions are generated. They can be used to become a specialized cell(s) (differentiation) with a more specific function such as brain cells‚ heart muscle or bone‚ blood cells. Stems cells are useful because no other cell in the human body has the (natural)

Period 1 Stem Cell Debate I think that we should stick to researching adult stem cells because it is more ethical‚ better success rate than embryonic cells‚ and they are more knowledgeable to the people. Adult stem cells are controversial but way less than embryonic stem cells. Stem cells are found in all multicellular organisms and are divided through mitosis. Adult stem cells are found in various tissues. Adult stem cells can be regenerated into specialized cells just not as many. Embryonic stem

Well stem cell research is breaking ground in this area…..Did you know that stem cells are the source of at least some ‚ and perhaps all cancers.

Stem cells are cells that have the ability to become any cell type in the body such as a muscle‚ a brain‚ or red blood cell‚ or any other cell. Because of that‚ they are able to repair organs and tissues and can potentially treat diseases such as diabetes and heart disease‚ which is the number one killer in the Unites States. Although stem cells can help massively‚ there is ethical controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research involves taking the stem cells from
