Stem Cells, Key to Our Future? Jared Gibbons DeVry University Stem cell research is one of the most controversial topics to date. There has been some evidence of Stem Cells as early as 1800’s, but the first documented findings took place in 1961 when scientists Drs. James Till, a biophysicist, and Ernest McCulloch, a hematologists, published accidental findings in “Radiation Research” that proved the existence of stem cells which are self-renewing cells. Stem cells work by rebuilding themselves

Stem cell research has become one of the most controversial topics next to abortion. Scientist, Researchers, and some medical professionals feel we are loosing precious time with the political, legal and ethical aspect of this topic and should focus more on how modern medicine can be improved and where stem cell research could take us in the future. Stem cell history began in the 1800’s both human and animal stem cells were used. Scientist fertilize egg cells through the vitro process, this was

Human Subjects Research (HSR) Series CITI Program’s HSR series consists of modules from two basic tracks, Biomedical (Biomed) and Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE), and a set of Additional Modules of Interest. Organizations may group these modules to form a basic Biomed or SBE course, or a course that combines the two tracks. The Additional Modules of Interest should be used in any course variation, if relevant. The basic Biomed modules have three corresponding sets of refresher modules and

(Wesley Simmons) There is immense belief among many medical experts that stem cell research will lead to significant improvements in the quality of human life as a result of the potential it has to reduce the high and sometimes unaffordable costs of treatments for a wide range of illnesses such as stroke, heart attack, diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease, spinal cord injury, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Since stem cell research is in the infant stage, there is still uncertainty regarding its potential,

Outline Details Topic: Stem Cell Treatment in Cancer Introduction: (ends with the thesis) A brief description of the technology and an explanation of the associated science - Cornelious What are stem cells? Stem cells are immature cells that have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. These cells can act as a repair system, by having the ability to divide and multiply to replenish other body cells that have been damaged or loss. Stem cell research has been hailed for the potential

Hope in the form of Stem Cells Dear John, After our brief discussion regarding the Doctors suggestion for stem cell therapy, I quickly began to gather information surrounding the topic to aid in your decision making. Stem cells have been researched for over thirty years. Primarily two types of stem cells have been used for research, from both humans and animals, entitled embryonic and non-embryonic cells (Stem cell basics, 2002). The research for embryonic cells came in the early eighties after
