Stem Cell Research

 

            
             Stem cell are found in embryos, umbilical cords, children and adults.
             cells are blank cells that produce all cells in the body. After conception a ball of.
             cells form called a blastocyst at this stage is where you will find the stems thats.
             that have the potential to grow into all cells that you find in the human body. .
             Stem cell research has proved that taking stem cells and growing them until.
             you find the certain cell you are looking for, (liver, heart, brain, etc.) you can insert.
             them into a human with and the new cells will replace the existing damaged cells. .
             This research has the potential to cure all diseases. All disease exist because the.
             cells are damaged or overwhelmed, this process of replacing damaged cells with.
             new cells is a breakthrough in medical technology. .
             According to James Thomson and John Gearhart, stem cells could potentially be.
             used for such things as :.
             Growing nerve cells to repair spinal cord injuries and restore function to.
             paralyzed limbs.
             Making heart muscle cells to replace useless scar tissue after a heart attack.
             Growing brain cells that would secrete dopamine for the treatment and control.
             of Parkinson's disease.
             Making cells that make insulin, to create treatment for diabetes.
             Growing bone marrow to replace blood-forming organs damaged by disease or.
             radiation.
             Making blood cells genetically altered to resist specific disease such as HIV, to.
             replace diseased blood cells.
             .
             Embryonic stem cells are the cells you take from an embryo and adult stem.
             cells are the cells you take from a person (child or adult) or from the umbilical.
             cord. Scientist have found that few stem cell remain even after we are born. Many.
             ask why not just do the research on adult stem cells. This is a very good question.
             and adult stem cells do have some advantages one most people don't have an.
             ethical problem with using them, and second these cells come from your own body.
             and your immune system won't reject them, if their not from your body your.
