Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic steam cells instead of adult stem cells?

Researchers often prefer embryonic stem cells over adult stem cells because embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, offering greater potential for regenerative medicine. In contrast, adult stem cells are typically limited to differentiating into a more restricted range of cell types specific to their tissue of origin. Additionally, embryonic stem cells can be cultured indefinitely in the lab, providing a more abundant and versatile resource for research and therapeutic applications. However, ethical concerns and regulatory issues surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells can complicate their research and application.


Why are cells from a blastula ideal to examine mitosis?

Unlike most cells in an adult body, an embryonic mass of cells is always dividing. Most cells in the adult body is quiscent and will not divide unless signals have been given to them to divide, and many cells such as muscle and nerve cells have even lost the ability to divide.


What is wrong with stem cell research?

It is very difficult to classify stem-cell research as wrong, as it is a subjective (and very controversial) topic. The best way to find out whether it is 'right' or 'wrong' would be to determine it for yourself. It may be easier to do so once you know more about stem-cell research, by doing objective research and forming your own opinion. Here is the link to the 'What is stem-cell research?' question also on the wikianswers website: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_embryonic_stem_cells_and_adult_stem_cells&alreadyAsked=1&rtitle=Stem_cell_research


What is alternation effect?

The alternation effect is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to prefer alternatives when making choices instead of choosing the same option repeatedly. This bias can influence decision-making in various contexts, like selecting between similar products or options.

Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells in medical research?

One reason researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells because adult stem cells are often found in limited quantities, are difficult to isolate, and the older the donor, the less stem cells they have.

Why do some researchers prefer quantitative research and others prefer qualitative research?

Some researchers prefer quantitative research because it allows for statistical analysis and generalizability of results, while others prefer qualitative research because it provides rich, detailed insights and allows for a deeper understanding of complex phenomena. The choice between the two often depends on the research question being addressed and the preferred methodology of the researcher.


Why do researches prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult?

Because the (human) embryos are frozen and they are readily available and will be destroyed if not implanted in a womb of a potential mother. Unfortunately, people see the frozen embryonic cell as an opportunity to do science. Some researchers feel that throwing out frozen embryonic cells is a waste. A scientist goal is to improve the value of human life by finding a value in the human embryonic cell. It would be like using a person, without permission, to make another person either get better or live longer. The moral problem is that it takes the life of another human to gain the advantage for a supposedly superior being. Another reason is because of the promise of embryonic stem cells is just to consuming to a research scientist. They can make a lot of money, and cure some serious diseases by using the embryonic stem cell. Another reason is that the federal funds to do the research have been available since 2008. If the government sponsors this type of research, then more scientists will use the government (USA) money to keep their projects funded. It is important to know that even though initial tests in embryonic stem cells looked promising, more can also be done with adult stem cells, without harming the potential for human life. Also, so called hybrid-stem cells that can be reverted back to stem cell status from an adult stem cell has made big progress in 2011-12. Both hybrid and adult stem cell research can be done without hurting the potential for life.
