Stem cells from embryos have proven to have greater flexibility than adult cells. Embryonic stem cell research can help find cures for or prevent issues such as Cancer of various different types, Parkinson‟s disease, Alzheimer‟s, Heart disease, Stroke, Diabetes, Various birth defects, Spinal cord injuries, Organ damage and even transplant rejection. The reason why it can help with all of these issues, and many more, is that embryonic stem cell research uses the regenerative cells of an embryo which are able to reproduce any other cell in the body. the process of organ transplantation will become much more easier if human cloning is developed to its full potential. By resorting to therapeutic cloning the doctors will be able to replace damaged tissues and organs in the human body, and treat various diseases and disorders with ease, The practice of waiting for a donor to obtain the desired organ would come to a halt as the required organ can be generated at will.
The European Society for Gene Therapy and the American Society of Gene Therapy are also doing the same thing. These moves are bringing confidence back into the field. In fact, a wide variety of trials are currently under way, including gene therapy aimed at treating cardiovascular disease, HIV, and cancer, that are developing more efficient techniques of genetic intervention. Recently, the media has begun paying more attention to some of the successes by putting Gene Therapy back on the front pages. (NewScientist.com May 12,
It is being done in places like England and Korea, where researchers are now world leaders in this technology. I also believe fetuses stem cells should be also allowed, but some may disagree especially those believing in abortion. I have the belief that it is worth the risk and the research could lead to faster cures. The last research from stem cells is adults. Research on adult stem cells has generated a great deal of excitement.
Knowledge has burgeoned regarding the operation of both innate and adaptive arms of immunity in atherogenesis, their interplay, and the balance of stimulatory and inhibitory pathways that regulate their participation in atheroma formation and complication. This revolution in our thinking about the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis has now begun to provide clinical insight and practical tools that may aid patient management. This review provides an update of the role of inflammation in atherogenesis and highlights how translation of these advances in basic science promises to change clinical practice. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2009;54:2129–38) © 2009 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation Just 3 decades ago the prevailing viewpoint envisaged atherosclerosis as a bland proliferative process (1). According to that concept, endothelial denuding injury led to platelet aggregation and release of platelet-derived growth factor that would
They proved that progression in this field of study can have vast as well as monumental improvements in contemporary science and technology. Eugenics and Frankenstein both included advanced ways of thinking and study. However, with advancement, setbacks can also follow. In both cases, the development of the ideas of Eugenics and creation of Frankenstein’s monster were thought to be ideas that would revolutionize scientific thinking and bring the ability to even further the scientific field of study. This statement was proven to be precise.
Some of the effects of HGH are most noticeable on cartilage and bone cells. If your body continues to produce growth hormone after cartilaginous plates have been fused, other bones respond such as the jaw, forehead, toes, and fingers. Human Growth Hormone may be considered a miracle by some or a disaster by others. The thought of humans having a life expectancy twice the amount it is now is amazing. But on the other hand, the side effects this hormone may cause due to regular injections may be very
HIT 170 Week 4 Assignment | Electronic Health Records (EHR) Report | DeVry University | | Brian Tran | 3/28/2015 | Soon, our organization will transition from the current health records system to an Electronic Health System. Thus, it’s important to understand the transition to the new system, its advantages, security measures, and the impacts that we might face during the transition on HIM processes. | As many of you have already realized of how digital technology has radically transformed and enriched our daily lives like communication & information - smart phones, computer, and the internet. Soon, the digital technology will help our health records system to be transformed into a system called “Electronic Health Records”
His findings with sex chromosomes and about males being XY and females being XX allow us to learn about so many things. He made it possible to discover, understand and learn about sex-linked traits and sex-linked abnormalities. Not only this but the books he has written, like An Introduction to General Biology, The Embryology of the Earthworm, Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis, and The Cell in Development and Inheritance, can help us expand our knowledge of the things he has studied. Luckily for us, Wilson made many contributions that help further study of DNA. Perhaps because of his studies, one day we may be able to expand much further on his ideas and make even more discoveries to help us in the
Abstract The ability to use embryonic stem cells in research leads to major medical breakthroughs; the use of stem cells should be permitted and supported. Stem cells have the ability to acquire cures for diseases such as: Multiple Sclerosis, HIV, Alzheimer's, Cancer, and vast amounts of other diseases. Ethical and Religious beliefs influence peoples outlook on embryonic stem cells which can give embryonic stem cells a bad image. But, the truth is, embryonic stem cells give hope to many people suffering from diseases that, at this point in time, have no cure. "In the end, it's possible that human beings may die so that embryos will live.
Sickle-Cell Anemia Sickle-Cell Anemia is common in many diversities of race regardless of age. With the improvement of scientific technologies, the disease itself, along with causes and signs has become a familiar topic of discussion in the home, work-place, school, medical facilities and laboratories. It is a disease that can cause fear; but with proper medical care and treatment, an individual can live a productive life. Now, what is Sickle-Cell Anemia? Some signs and symptoms, effects on the body and is there a cure.
