Embryonic stems cells are derived from embryos and are developed from eggs by in vitro fertilization. They are then donated for research purposes. Stem cells can be used to test new drugs such as new medications. They are currently being used to test anti-tumor drugs in the treatment of cancer.
What else can I help you with?
Do embryonic stem cells represent a human life?
They have the potential to grow into a human being.
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Why do cell researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of 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
What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell research instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Where do scientists get embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells are typically obtained from excess embryos created during in vitro fertilization procedures with informed consent from the donors. These embryos are usually donated for research purposes and are not created for the sole purpose of harvesting stem cells.
For in the use of embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases. Stem cells also help organs and tissues repair themselves.
What makes embryonic stem useful for medicine?
They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.
Is using embryonic stem cells for research legally considered murder?
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
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.
How are adult stem cells better then embryonic stem cells?
Adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in some ways because they have less risk of immune rejection, as they can be collected from the patient's own body. Additionally, the use of adult stem cells avoids the ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells have also shown promising results in various treatments and therapies.
