Are embryonic stem cells a safe source for the generation of human gametes in vitro?

Embryonic stem cells have proved to be a safe source for the generation of human gametes in vitro.


Which organisms have embryonic stages the most similar?

Human and jell fish are the most similar because scientists claimed that human came from fish


How are embryonic human stem cells like plant cells?

The embryonic human stem cells are like a plant cell, because interphase carries out the variouse function as the growth and preparation of the human stem grows. The plant cells also grow and increases in the size and makes proteins for other cells. Mitosis then takes over, the cell is cut into two and reformed. also like the embryonic humanstem cells. and that is how they are alike .. to sum things up the over all preformance is they both grow and form by protiens. they are also shaped about the same.


Where at in the human body are stem cells?

There are adult stem cells and there are embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells are found in many body tissues such as in the brain, neural stem cells, and in bone marrow. Also the embryonic stem cells, as you can tell by the name, are from the embryo which starts to develop into more recognizable specialized stem cells within three to four weeks after fertilization.


How are stem cells trnsplanted?

Stem cells are cells that have not specialised. Specialist cells can only be the one thing that they are specialised for; ie, you cannot turn skin cells into a heart, or liver cells into a brain. Stem cells have not specialised and can therefore become any type of cell. I am not sure how they are stimulated to become one kind or another, but they can. Adult stem cells are not as good as embryonic stem cells, but because harvesting embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo it is banned in many countries.

What do embryonic stem cells have over adult stem cells in medical research?

Human embryonic and adult stem cells each have advantages and disadvantages regarding potential use for cell-based regenerative therapies. ... Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.


Why do researches prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult?

Because the (human) embryos are frozen and they are readily available and will be destroyed if not implanted in a womb of a potential mother. Unfortunately, people see the frozen embryonic cell as an opportunity to do science. Some researchers feel that throwing out frozen embryonic cells is a waste. A scientist goal is to improve the value of human life by finding a value in the human embryonic cell. It would be like using a person, without permission, to make another person either get better or live longer. The moral problem is that it takes the life of another human to gain the advantage for a supposedly superior being. Another reason is because of the promise of embryonic stem cells is just to consuming to a research scientist. They can make a lot of money, and cure some serious diseases by using the embryonic stem cell. Another reason is that the federal funds to do the research have been available since 2008. If the government sponsors this type of research, then more scientists will use the government (USA) money to keep their projects funded. It is important to know that even though initial tests in embryonic stem cells looked promising, more can also be done with adult stem cells, without harming the potential for human life. Also, so called hybrid-stem cells that can be reverted back to stem cell status from an adult stem cell has made big progress in 2011-12. Both hybrid and adult stem cell research can be done without hurting the potential for life.
