How might stem cells help when the spinal cord is damaged?
The stem cell uses the special regenerative cells which will help when the spinal cord is damaged.
What is the goal of stem cell research?
The goal of stem cell research is to find a way for the stem cell to differentiate in order to repair the specific patient's problem- whether that be a spinal cord injury, genetic disease, diabetes, etc.
Embroyonic stem cell will help brain injury?
stem cells are special cells that can differentiate into any kind of human cell. The brain is made up of nerve cells which cannot regenerate. This means that a person with a brain or spinal chord injury is not able to heal. Theoretically, a doctor could induce these stem cells to grow into nerve cells in order to heal a person with a brain or spinal chord injury. In order to do this however they would need to be able to do a lot of research with stem cells first
How does the stem cell help the plant?
The cell in the plant stem helps the plant by transporting water and materials throughout the plant.
How can a stem cell transplant help cure diseases?
A stem cell transplant can help cure disease because it can grow into any cells that you body needs. An example of a time when a stem cell transplant is when a man cut off the end of his finger and used pig stem cells to grow it back.
What are some of the positive and negative uses of stem cell therapy?
Stem cell therapy can help your body repair itself by using stem cells which can become any healthy type of cell. The cons of stem cell therapy are that many people think that it is unethical and it is difficult to harvest stem cells.
I know stem cell treatments are controversial and cutting edge but how does the treatment work?
Stem cells are cells that have the potential to become any kind of cell. So if a person's cells have been damaged, the stem cells can be used to recreate healthy cells. Stem cell treatment is still in the research stage. Studies are currently being conducted to inject stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries.
What connects to the cerebrum and the spinal cord?
The spinal cord is attached to the brain stem located at the base of the brain. This stem is connected to the cerebellum.
What connects the spinal cord to the brain?
Brain stem
Where are stem cells in the body?
stem cells are found in your spinal cord.
What the does brain stem connect the brain to?
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord, so that the brain can send messages through the cord to the rest of the body. The functioning of the body is severely compromised if the spinal cord connections are severed.
What part of your brain is connected to the spinal?
The brain stem connects to the spinal cord.
