CASE REPORT A 52-year-old Caucasian woman with a medical history of diabetes type, atrial fibrillation and hypertension who in February 2017 noted a group of small, reddish lesions on her legs described by her as “bug bites”. The lesions in two months rapidly progressed to…

Regenerative medicine is a branch of medicine that has been developed in recent years. Advances in this field have been closely linked to new knowledge acquired about stem cells and their ability to become cells from different tissues. This medicine is based on behaviors adopted…

Stem cells have the unique ability to self-renew or to differentiate into various cell types in response to appropriate signals within the body. These properties provide stem cells with unique capabilities for tissue repair, replacement, and regeneration. Because of these properties, stem cells have become…

The ability to self-renew and differentiate into mature cell types makes stem cells attractive targets of basic research. Most research is involved in the identification of differentiation factors, genetic as well as environmental signals that exist in the stem cell niche8-9. Increasing number of clinical…

Stem cells are a highly discussed topic among the scientific community. Stem cells have the potential to cure many diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. These diseases are incurable diseases that affect roughly 500 million people worldwide. (10million- Parkinson’s, 370million- Diabetes 44million-…

Examining The Issues of Stem Cell Transplants: Infectious Molds and Ethics Stem cells are the body’s natural resources specialized to function in each component of the body. Stem cells generate all cells in the body by dividing to form daughter cells under the ideal conditions,…

Stem cell or also known as mother cell is an undifferentiated cell that able to renew itself by cell division or induced to be specialized cells of somatic tissues (Stemcells.nih.gov, 2015). There are two types of stem cells that have been used by scientists, somatic…

Stem cells are very unique cells that are capable of differentiating into specialized cell types. All other cells with specialized functions are produced from stem cells, in other words stem cells are like the body’s raw material cells. Furthermore, stem cells split themselves to form…
