Can stem cell research form tumors?

Stem cells are 'cells with no specialization', they can become almost any kind of cell, including a tumor. However, stem cell research is directed to the regeneration of cells in dysfunctional but constitutionally normal tissues and organs and therefore are not likely to form tumors.


What is the leaf base attachment of maize?

The leaf base of maize is clasping. It wraps around the stem, forming a sheath-like attachment.


Describe How attached to the stem?

The attachment of a plant to its stem is crucial for nutrient transport and stability. This connection, often facilitated by structures like nodes and internodes, allows leaves, flowers, and fruits to receive water and nutrients from the stem while ensuring they remain upright for optimal sunlight exposure. Additionally, the strength and flexibility of the stem help support growth and withstand environmental factors. Overall, this attachment plays a vital role in the plant's overall health and functionality.


What is attached to the receptacle part of the stem on a plant?

Leaves, flowers, or new growth such as buds or shoots are attached to the receptacle part of the stem on a plant. The receptacle serves as the point of attachment for these plant parts.


What is the function of the node in stem?

In stem, a node is where leaves or branches are attached to the main stem. It serves as a point of attachment and growth for various plant parts, facilitating the transport of water, nutrients, and hormones throughout the plant. Nodes play a crucial role in plant development and growth processes.

Does stem cell research cover cancer?

In any cancer tumor, there are what's called 'cancer stem cells'. These cancer stem cells behave like stem cells in that they are usually quiescent but when the tumor is destroyed by for example radiation therapy and chemotherapy, which targets dividing cells, the tumor stem cells can survive these treatments and begin to divide and recreate the tumor after the treatment has ceased. Right now there are no effective treatment except for surgery that can selectively target cancer stem cells and this is the cause of high recurrence rates in certain cancers. There are also studies that show that directly injecting neural stem cells into brains with neural tumors can directly reduce the size of the tumor without harming surrounding cells. This makes stem cells sound like the 'silver bullet' for neural tumors however much more research needs to be done before this effect can be understood enough for human usage or usage for other organs.
