Why are embryonic stems cells especially useful in medical research?

Answer 1

If people research embryonic stem cells, we can further put them into use into medicine. Using the somatic cell nuclear transfer method, scientists can grow human organs and tissues and then implant them into a human being. Further research can shed light on new ways to circumvent the body rejecting the given tissue.

Answer 2

It is very promising area of research.

Embryonic stem cells have capacity of totipotency which means they can form into any tissues.

The only problem with the research is that the cells division after certain period of time gets out of control and it develops into tumor.

Answer 3

Stem cells are cells that can differentiate (turn into) any type of cell in the body. Putting stem cells next to somebody's skin cells for e.g. makes the stem cells turn into skin cells. It is hoped that stem cells may be used to "grow" new organs for people that will not be rejected due to the tissue being the same as the persons own tissue.

Answer 4

Most cells are specialized. A skin cell can only make skin, a liver cell can only make more liver cells, that sort of thing. A stem cell hasn't specialized itself yet; it can become any kind of cell it wants.

Answer 5

because it may give the answers to some medical mysteries

Answer 6

Stem cell research can potentially treat a wide range of medical problems. Stem cell research could lead humanity closer to better treatment and cures for a number of diseases:

Answer 7

There are quite a few positives of stem cell research. This research can lead to the understanding of how the body works.

Answer 8

Because if you needed a new foot, you can surgically put in new cells for a foot and will eventually grow into something (site not recommended for homework)

Answer 9

stem cells have the ability to differentiate into multiple types of cells

Answer 10

Embryonic stem cells are useful in medical research because it is the most primary form of stem cells and thus it can be easily developed into almost endless types of cells.
