Stem Cell Research
Stem Cell Research One of the most controversial topics these days is Stem Cell Research. There seems to be a split opinion among societies about the research and whether it is socially and morally acceptable. As a society, we need to open our minds to the possibility of broadening our scientific horizons with stem cell research, and take the time to learn and understand whatever we can about it. There are a lot of people

Stem Cell Research Can you imagine a world where there are no ailments like aids or diabetes. Well, what if this world was possible but the government was stopping the research for these types of advances. The type of research I am talking about isn't cloning as some of you might be thinking. Actually, it is called embryo stem cell research. Hopefully I will be able to give you a better understanding of why this

Stem cellular structures are cells found in most multi-cellular organisms. They are capable of retaining the ability to reinvigorate themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.

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

Since the early days of man, life expectancy was very low and the effective treatments of dire wounds were limited. If a man or woman had a serious wound, the only possible answer back then might have been amputation, just so the limb does not get infected or spread to any other part of the body. Today, both of these have now been increased and improved thanks to our innovative technology. We now have medicine
