Cellular differentiation

Embryonic Stem Cell Research Samantha Sigman November 10th, 2014 Genetics Metropolitan Community College Typically, someone or something is special because of the uniqueness it fosters. A liver cell is special because its function is to preform as a filter or for the use of metabolism. Stem cells are so special because they have unbelievable potential in the world of genetics because they are not specifically special. According to Suzanne Holland, Karen Lebacqz and Laurie Zoloth in The…

STEM CELLS Stem cells are very homogenous due to the fact that they are of the same family type or lineage characteristically speaking. They are differentiated from other cells by two features. The first feature is that they are able to divide by cell division and the second feature is that under specific experimental conditions they can be directed to become tissue cells with certain functions. Stem cells are able to transform or regenerate themselves growing into the body’s approximately 200…

Introduction Stem cell research has caused a great deal of controversy throughout the past several decades. Stem cells are unique because they can develop into different cell types in the body. While the stem cell is dividing, the new cells that are being created can turn into specialized cells, such as, brain cells or red blood cells. As a result, the specialized stem cells could help people suffering from a plethora of diseases, specifically Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the many benefits…

Isaiah Juarez(current research) There are many different uses for stem cells, and different stem cells which can do things other stem cells can and can do. There are two main stem cells, and they the embryonic stem cells, and adult stem cells. However there ae about another dozen more stem cells which are also important to the human body. These other stem cells are tissue stem cells, blood stem cells, skin stem cells, Mesenchymal stem cells, stem cells in the eye, induced plum stem cells,…

Cells are the BASIC function of life on Earth. They are the fundamental unit of all living things. The cell is the smallest structure in the human body and has all the properties of be alive and being it 's own living thing and stem cells are the direct result of cells being their own living thing. The stem cell is stated to be “unspecialized cells that are thought to be able to reproduce themselves indefinitely and, under the right conditions, to develop into mature cells, e.g., nerve, skin,…

One of the dominant issues present in the world today is the threat of neurodegenerative diseases, which primarily affect the nervous system. These diseases are responsible for about sixty thousand deaths per year, many of which are preceded by up to several years of excruciating pain and suffering (“Alzheimer’s…Figures”). Neurodegenerative diseases, among other health issues, such as heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes, are treatable with stem cell therapy. As long as humans exist, the…

A cell is a very basic structural and functional unit of life. A human body is considered multicellular because the body consists of trillions of cells. Cells have many different functions throughout the body, and they ‘stem’ from simpler cells that do not yet have a specific function. These cells are known as stem cells. This basically means these cells do not have a specific job in body yet, but have the potential to become any cell in the body. Stem Cell research has been around for decades,…

Stem cell research is a hot topic in the medical field today. Usually most people, who are not deeply involved with the news in the medical field, have heard of doctors, whether it be in the news/tv or on a social media site, trying to figure out ways to utilize stem cells and create medical advancements when dealing with things such as heart disease. However, there is a lot of debate that comes along with the words stem cell research. The most common way a person may have heard the term…

Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to divide for an indefinite period and can give rise to a wide variety of specialized cell types. The term stem cell can be interpreted into many different types of stem cells, each with very different potential to treat disease. There are multiple types of stem cells but the two significant stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells (Panno, “Stem cells are not all equal”). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop…

The ethical principles in Christianity guide adherents to follow and do ‘what is good’ and reject the imitation of ‘what is evil’ as the teachings are heavily influenced by Christ’s commandment to love as God loves. The ethical principles which consist of the 10 commandments and the beatitudes provide towards the adherents the opportunity to provide an agape love that reflects that of Christ himself. This agape love demonstrates and paves the path for Christian adherents to model. In relation to…
