What do scientists and doctors get from stem cell research?
stem cell are cells that are not specialized to do a job so cell could be taken from stem cells and the doctors could replace a patients abnoraml cell with health cells. also by researching more on stem cells, the doctors may be able to treat diseases such as heart attacks etc
Where do scientists take stem cells from?
There are two types of stem cells: Embryonic Stem Cells and Adult Stem Cells.Embryonic stem cells are isolated from:The blastocystAdult Stem Cells are isolated from: Bone MarrowFats or Lipids (Known as Adipose Tissue)Blood
Did Sleeping Beauty have diabetes?
There is no mention in the fairy tale that Sleeping Beauty had diabetes. Scientists researching if pancreatic stem cells exist have given the name "sleeping beauties" to the newly found cells because they are hard to wake up. The answer is no, Sleeping Beauty did not have diabetes.
What is the debate about stem cells?
Scientists believe stem cells from human embryos could hold the key to treatments and cures for disease. Basically it is a debate about stem cell 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.
What type of stem cells is more useful according to most scientists?
Totipotent
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.
Why do scientists use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
Scientists often use embryonic stem cells because they are pluripotent, meaning they can differentiate into any cell type in the body, which provides greater versatility for research and potential therapies. In contrast, adult stem cells are typically multipotent, limited to differentiating into a narrower range of cell types. Additionally, embryonic stem cells can be cultured indefinitely in the lab, allowing for more extensive study and experimentation. However, ethical considerations surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells have led to ongoing debates and research into alternatives.
Why was the work of the American scientists in 1998 such a breakthrough in stem cell research?
they found a way to obtain stem cells without destroying an embryo - this removed all ethical concerns that were present for the use of embryonic stem cells
What are four ways scientists use stem cells?
Scientists use stem cells in various ways, including regenerative medicine to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. They study stem cells to better understand development and disease mechanisms, which can lead to new treatments. Stem cells are also used in drug testing to evaluate the effects of new medications on human cells. Additionally, they play a crucial role in research related to genetic disorders and personalized medicine.
Who invented stem cells?
Stem cells were not invented by a specific person, but rather their existence was discovered through scientific research. In the 1960s and 1970s, scientists Ernest McCulloch and James Till demonstrated the presence of stem cells in bone marrow. Since then, stem cells have been extensively studied and their potential for medical treatments has been recognized.
Who discover the stem cells first?
Canadian scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till
