Cord stem cells are exactly like normal stem cells, but they do come from an aborted fetus like most stem cells. Just like normal stem cells, they can be used to create any other cell needed in the human body.
There is no one scientist in the centre of the argument about stem cell research. A few are Robert Lanza, Alberto Hayek, and Mahendra Rao.
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
This is because it can repair humans and possibly extend the amount of years a person lives, just like holy grail.
Fetal tissues are not the only source of stem cells. Stem cells can also be found in other sources such as bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and adult tissues like adipose tissue. These sources provide alternative options for stem cell research and therapy.
Stem cells can be used for many things. The one thing that they are being used for now is treating diseases. A stem cell is a cell in the body with no specific function yet. Scientist are trying to discover a way to get the cell to fight cancer. In the UK stem cells have recently cured a man with HIV AIDS.
Embryonic stem cells can be obtained from early-stage embryos. Adult stem cells are found in various tissues throughout the body, such as the bone marrow or brain. Induced pluripotent stem cells are created by reprogramming adult cells, like skin cells, to develop stem cell properties.
no. stem cells can clone A cell that's put around it, like a heart cell or pancreas cell but it can't clone an entire person (though it would aid the process).
The main animal sources of stem cells include embryos, which provide embryonic stem cells known for their pluripotency, meaning they can differentiate into any cell type. Adult animals also contain stem cells, primarily in tissues like bone marrow, fat, and muscle, which are referred to as adult or somatic stem cells and typically have more limited differentiation potential. Additionally, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be generated from adult somatic cells by reprogramming them to a pluripotent state, enabling them to behave like embryonic stem cells.
If stem cells offered a promising treatment for an illness, I would fully support its application.
