The history of stem cell research on humans in the United States began in the 1960’s, first achieving success in the treatment of patient with severe combined immunodeficiency disorder in 1968. Since the early 1970's, adult stem cells have been successfully used for treatment of immunodeficiency and leukemia. Since the discovery, the ethics of human embryonic stem cells have been debated. As the ongoing controversy over human embryonic stem cells persists, we continue to look for alternative means

The Usefulness of Stem Cell Therapy Biology 103 SUMMARY A potential treatment for stroke victims is stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy has made great advancement in this area. However, it is still in the trial phase and has only been tested on animals. The research article I reviewed showed that regardless of which type of stem cell was used either allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) or adipose-derived-stem cells (AD-MSC) the results were incredible. The hypothesis was that

INTRODUCTION Pregnancy, the state of carrying a developing embryo or fetuswithin the female body. This condition can be indicated by positive resultson an over-the-counter urine test, and confirmed through a blood test,ultrasound, detection of fetal heartbeat, or an X-ray. Pregnancy lasts forabout nine months, measured from the date of the woman's lastmenstrual period (LMP). It is conventionally divided into three trimesters,each roughly three months long.When gestation has completed, it goes through a processcalled

One of my continuing goals in China is to find traditional Chinese medicines and practices that I can integrate into my Western, allopathic-style family practice. I’ve been struggling to find Chinese herbal medicines that I am comfortable prescribing, usually due to lack of evidence for a clear benefit. As for acupuncture, there are actually a lot more well-designed studies done on this field when compared to Chinese herbs, mostly because Europe and the West have become very interested over the

Assignment 2- Science at the Zoo Introduction- The different roles that can be done at the zoo are education, animal welfare, recreation, research and conservation. The zoo participates in captive breeding programmes and conservation projects in the wild. This allows a whole variety of sciences to be used. Ecology are veterinary are the two main ones and the science goes into a lot of depth when considering breeding programmes. Conservation- is the preservation, protection, or restoration of the

ABSTRACT Stem cells have offered much hope by promising to greatly extend the numbers and range of patients who could benefit from transplants, and to provide cell replacement therapy to treat debilitating diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. The issue of stem cell research is politically charged, prompting biologists to begin engaging in ethical debates, Stem cell research offers great promise for understanding basic mechanisms of human development and differentiation
