Essays on Stem Cell Research

Stem cell research is a fairly new advancement in science today. Stem cell research has many medical advantages. It can be used to assist patients with various diseases such as cancers, Parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, yet it has been one of the most discussed...

Stem cells are the undifferentiated biological cells that can develop too many different cell types of the body during early life and growth. To our body, the stem cells are like an internal repair system. A stem cell divides and each new cell can remain...

Stem Cells: What are they and why are they important? One of the points of Cell theory says that all known living things are made up of cells; although, structure of each cell is very similar, the function could be completely different. But one of...

Modern medicine and approaches to disease treatment have undergone a paradigm shift due to significant advances in regenerative medicine. This field of stem cell research has remarkable potential in the development of therapies to regenerate and repair dysfunctional cells. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with...

“Stem cell research holds enormous promise for easing human suffering, and federal support is critical to its success” – Tom Harkin. Stem cells originate from adult body tissues and embryos, but they can also be donated through bone marrow, peripheral stem cells, and umbilical cord...

Stem cells. What is it? What does it do? Where does it come from? All these questions and more will be answered soon enough. Stem cells are undifferentiated, or cells that are so new and have yet to be signed a role of what to...

Mesenchymal stem cells by definition can be described as multipotent progenitor, self renewing cells with multiple avenues having potential to differentiate into the cell types of mesodermal origin such as osteocytes, adipocytes and chrondrocytes. They are usually isolated from bone marrow and in some cases...

ABSTRACT Adult mammalian ovary has been under watch for over 10 years now since it was proposed to home stem cells that experience postnatal oogenesis amid reproductive period like spermatogenesis in testis. Ovarian stem cells are situated in the surface epithelium of adult and menopausal...

Statins are the most effective and commonly used drug for treatment of hypercholesterolemia (Toth et al., 2018). Statin associated myopathy includes a broad spectrum of conditions that range from benign myalgia to more serious inflammation, and rarely may lead to life threatening rhabdomyolysis (Hilton-Jones, 2018)....

The debate about stem cell research has attracted political, religious, and social viewpoints, and tends to polarize nations. The section that supports the stem cell research invokes the potential benefits of treating the debilitating conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord...
