Abstract Stem cells are literally the gods of all cells. They have the potential to develop into so many different types of cells within the body. For many untreatable neurodegenerative disorders, stem cell research offers great promise and hope for a cure to these progressive diseases. Here we discuss what a stem cell is and […]
The genome editing using engineered nuclease has strategically transformed the idea of gene therapy for monogenic diseases including in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) (Osborn et al., 2016; Yu et al., 2016). The genome editing technology enables to create a site specific double-strand break (DSB) by the engineered nucleases that programmable triggering the cell’s […]
This proving iPSCs are a better option because they have similar findings as the mouse model with more of an advantage linking to the human patients since these iPSCs were from human patients with the disease. Overall the end goal is to find a drug that slows the progression or stops the neurodegeneration in humans […]
For centuries, past scientific discoveries have paved the way for future innovations. In addition, they have also positively impacted and influenced the medical and science field. A new discovery that scientists are looking into are Embryonic Stem Cells”otherwise known as ES Cells. While scientists are rushing to observe and experiment with ES Cells, many support […]
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells of multicellular organisms. Specifically embryonic stem cell are pluripotent, meaning they can create several different types of cells. With this new knowledge, biomedical research has ascended to new levels. To get embryonic stem cells biologists first produce via vitro fertilization, which is where an egg and sperm are combined outside […]
Drug screening and induced pluripotent stem cells are still fairly new components in the scientific world but continue to expand as more research is being conducted. Just in 2006 induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) branched off of embryonic stem cells that were discovered in 1998 (6) and since iPSCs lack ethical issues, they have been […]
Human embryonic stem cells are unspecialized cells that can turn out to be any of the 200+ particular or separated cells that complete the particular elements of the body, for example, skin, blood, muscle, and nerve cells. Researcher trust that human embryonic undifferentiated organisms have a boundless potential in making therapeutic medicines that supplant lost […]
Biomaterials for stem cell delivery in cardiovascular regeneration Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are disorders of the heart and the blood vessels which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and related with 31% global deaths every year.[64] Although pharmacological and interventional treatments are well-established to relief the symptoms and complications (e.g. arrhythmia) to prevent […]
This section offers a summary regarding the background of the topic concerning how Stem Cell Research and treatment works and its purpose together with application in the real world. The stem cells are usually capable of developing into different cell types both in the embryonic period as well as during growth. The stem cells can […]
In this paper I will mainly focus on the effects of stem cell injections on skeletal muscle injures in mice, this is because those types of muscle injuries are extremely common. Skeletal muscle is a highly specialized tissue made up of non-dividing, multi-nucleated muscle fibers, which contract to generate force in a controlled and controlled […]
Introduction: Research Problem Dolly the sheep was the first big breakthrough in stem cell research during the 1990s, but it remains a contentious subject today. From synthetic biology of gene cloning to gene editing and even embryonic research, the ethics mean weighing potential benefits against the costs. There is also a need to separate out […]
More than thirty years ago, in 1981, scientists were able to successfully extract embryonic stem cells from mice, effectively opening a door to new discoveries in scientific and medical fields. Stem cells are unspecialized cells meaning that they have no set function in the body. Scientists have also found ways to influence these cells into […]
Regenerate the Vascular Tissue Blood vessels composed of endothelial cells and mural cells play key roles in tissue regeneration and repair by serving as conduits to deliver oxygen and nutrients to injured and newly-formed tissues.[88] Many CVDs such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral vascular disease (PAD) are resulted from the loss of vascular […]

As cancers are heterogeneous, drug discovery efforts are aiming to increase patient survival and will surely need to consider the plasticity of cancer cells (Singh and Settleman, 2010). Cancer stem cells have a higher intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy than do normal cancer cells, and may be the source of post-therapy relapse (Thomas; et al, 2014). […]
To delay or perhaps, reverse aging is a topic that occupies the mind of many researchers. Stem cells are tools that help study aging because : they divide and renewing themselves for long periods,they differentiate into different cell types as they are initially unspecialized. These cells are immortal, they do however decrease in functioning as […]
