The United States of America is one of the main countries that is studying stem cells right now. Other countries include Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, and China.
What else can I help you with?
How are adult body cells differ from embryonic stem cells?
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
Where can you find the cells?
what does "the cells" mean? maybe i can answer after i know what that means. i'm studying about cells right now.
Stem cells are importatt the body why?
stem cell are master cell. IE. they are further differentiated into different type of cell. Their fate is to form different type of blood cells and immune system cells stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can change into the cells where they are needed. loads of cells die everyday and stem cells are used to replace them. there is now a treatment for all kinds of diseases where the body is to damaged to replace the cells. so a laboratory grows the stem cells and it is injected.
How are adult body cells different from embryonic stem cells?
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
Why should you preserve stem cells?
stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate in to all cell types. they are of two types: 1) Embryonic stem cells ( totipotent cells) they can differentiate in to any type of cells in our body.. 2) adult stem cells ( multipotent cells) they can be differentiated into only one type of cell from which it is derived from. They are used mostly in organ and tissue transplantation. mostly used in medicinal field to cure diseases now adays.
How can stem cells be useful?
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.
What are some benefits of researching stem cells?
Cells function in different parts of the body. Stem cells are cells that have not yet formed into a perticular kind of cell; i.e.- red blood cells, white blood cells, skin cells, etc. Scientists can "coax", if you will, the stem cells into any type of cell that they want/need. With stem cells, a person with, say, a blood disorder has the opportunity to go for a stem cell treatment, which would inject the cells into the affected part of the body. The scientists would have, by this point, made the stem cells into the type that the patient needs. With the new cells, the person has a very good chance of having the disorder cured.
How could you create cells for scientific use since society does not permit the use of stem cells for scientific study at this time?
Stem cells can now be harvested from living hosts with no harm done. 2009 has seen the break through research.
How scientists use stem cells to grow tissues?
Right now scientists are exploring many options with stem cells. Currently they can combine a persons body fat and some stem cells, mix them with some growth factors, and inject them in the patient. The body will then start to work with the stem cell, body fax mixture to regrow body tissue.
Do other countries think about the great fire of londod now?
Not unless they're studying English History.
How are stem cells used to treat patients now?
Stem cells are currently used in various medical treatments, primarily for conditions like blood disorders, certain cancers, and regenerative medicine. Hematopoietic stem cells, found in bone marrow, are commonly transplanted to treat leukemia and lymphoma. Additionally, researchers are exploring the use of mesenchymal stem cells for repairing damaged tissues in conditions like heart disease and osteoarthritis. Clinical trials are ongoing to expand the applications of stem cells in treating neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord injuries, and more.
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.
