Stem cells are cells found in most multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiating into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Research in the stem cell field grew out of findings by Canadian scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till in the 1960s.
Stem cells can develop into any cell type. They are valuable as research tools and might, in the future, be used to treat a wide range of diseases. Credit: Judith Stoffer
The two broad types of mammalian stem cells are: embryonic stem cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells that are found in adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialized embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells, but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.
Stem cells can now be grown and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture. Highly plastic adult stem cells from a variety of sources, including umbilical cord blood and bone marrow are routinely used in medical therapies. Embryonic cell lines and autologous embryonic stem cells generated through therapeutic cloning have also been proposed as promising candidates for future therapies. _________________ medicine coupons |

What diseases can be cured by stem cells and how would the cells cure those specific diseases? _________________ Recruiting software |

There are many hurdles before stem cell implantation can be a potential cure or treatment for Parkinson's disease. At this point skin cells have been used but the long term results are not in yet.
Other conditions with a cure potential include diabetes type 1 (juvenile diabetes), ALS, Huntington's disease, Becker Muscular dystrophy (BMD), Down Syndrome, adenpsone deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID), Gaucher disease type III, Schechman-Bodian-Diamons syndromw (SBDS) _________________ facebook fans |

Stem cells are unique because they combine two key properties: Pluripotency and self-renewal. Pluripotency means that they can differentiate and give rise to multiple different cell types. _________________ test for stds |

A stem cell is a blank cell capable of being transformed into any other type of cell in the body. _________________ exede reviews |

In recent history, few topics have been met with as much fierce social and political debate as stem cell research. The main reason behind why this is such as heavily contested topic is abortion. _________________ penny stocks |

Stem cell research is a big topic among scientist and medical researchers. In order to further stem cell research, funds are needed to discover the possible medical and health benefits different types of stem cells have. _________________ perennial |

As studies continue, scientists are hopeful that stem cells may one day be used to repair areas of the brain commonly damaged in autism. Read on to learn more about how to use stem cell therapy to treat autism. _________________ travel accessories |
