Essays on Stem Cell

Introduction The human capacity to regenerate cells and tissues is limited. Diseases and injury often result in degeneration and loss of cells with devastating consequences. Regenerative medicine aims at replenishing such cells. We live in an era where scientists can grow the majority of cell…

Agatha Christie’s And Them There Was None is a murder mystery based on the original poem “Ten Little Soldier Boys” where ten individuals are invited on an island and are mysteriously being murdered by an unknown character. Throughout the novel, the structure is shown in…

Stem cells are unspecialised cells that are able to grow into many types of cells found in the body. They can be found within human embryos that are a few days old and have not developed yet, these are called embryonic stem cells. Stem cells…

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…

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…

Embryonic cells are produced from the abundance of cells inside a blastocyst. They can become any cell in the body. This is said to provide the vision of the causes of birth defects like Down Syndrome, genetic laws, and many other health diseases and also…

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…
