13 Describe the process used for harvesting adult stem cells?

Adult stem cells can be harvested from the bone marrow, blood, or adipose tissue. The process involves first identifying the source of stem cells, then extracting the cells through procedures such as bone marrow aspiration, apheresis, or liposuction. The harvested stem cells are then processed and purified before being used for therapeutic purposes.


Are Adult stem cells as useful as Embrionic stem cells?

Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.


What is the major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells?

The major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells is ethical concerns surrounding the destruction of embryos in the process. Critics argue that this raises ethical questions about the sanctity of human life and the moral status of the embryo. This has led to various regulations and debates on the ethical implications of using embryonic stem cells for research and medical purposes.


What is the primary role of the undifferentiated cells?

Adult stem cells


What are the types of stem cells?

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 process used for collecting adult stem cells?

Adult stem cells can be collected from bone marrow. They can also be collected from blood if the patient is given a special medication.


Why do only adult stem cells produce progenitor cells since embryonic stem cells differentiate too?

Only adult stem cells produce progenitor cells because they multiply though the process of cell division and therefore produce progenitor cells.

Why not just study adult stem cells?

adult stem cells are to big to study.


What ways might use of adult stem cells be better than the use of embryonic stem cells?

The adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in a very few cases. One way they are better is that the adult stem cells can be transplanted back into the adult patient and grown. The body will not reject its own stem cells.


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
