Acquiring Ipsc Skills For Further Research

I believe I've grown as a student for skills for Academic Success because ,when I started 9th grade at Vaughn I was not happy with the grade I got. I had very poor grammar. I always tried my best to get a good grade or at least a better grade then the one I had. Now I believe I improve my grades and skills for Academic Success because there was stuff I didn't understand. When I started Vaughn I didn't know that is freshman had to have 130 reading points. When I heard that I started reading books ,didn't really concentrate because I was not use to reading but now I finish a book and move on to the next one.

A paradigm is defined as the fundamental way in which we think and define reality. It may include values and beliefs that influence our decisions on what is real and what is not. It is how we know the things we know. It is our own awareness of ourselves as observers and knowers and may relate to how we think and act in certain situations. It is also how we process what is real and how we present our knowings to others. In a paradigm no right or wrong answers are presented but instead fundamental assumptions are used.

It has the ability to form any type of specific cell and thus has the greatest potential for treatments in the near future.  A more recent development in stem cell research is the creation of induced pluripotent cells, which are adult cells that become undifferentiated through a series of treatments.  Induced pluripotent stem cells have a number of benefits because the destruction of embryos is not necessary and there are no issues with immune response or rejection because the cells come from the patient.  However, it will be a long time before this type of cell become widely used on humans because the method used is not completely understood and has negative side effects.  In animal testing, “…the virus used to introduce the stem cell factors sometimes causes cancers” (“Stem cell basics”).  Therefore, embryonic stem cells should be an important part of stem cell research.  Even if induced pluripotent cells can replace embryonic cells in the future, the knowledge gained from current embryonic cell research would still be very applicable.   Unfortunately, research is very time and resource intensive, which is where the debate of federal funding comes into play.

Overall after reading the text InternQube: Professional Skills for the Workplace, this text was very useful as well as interesting. I was able to get a better understanding on what type of mindset I should have going into the workplace every day. This includes daily goals and routines, the way I should professional dress, how I should conduct myself on a professional level in front of people of higher status. InternQube was excellent for my first couple weeks at my internship Stenton Family Manor. First I was able to write up daily work objectives to what I needed to get done for the day. These objectives consist of work practices that would better help me in my field of management. I develop questions for myself such as, what does it take

To become an AI Tech you must have, at least, a high school degree and experience from completing courses from an agricultural school that specializes in artificial insemination. Although, it is very beneficial to your career if you get a degree in either animal science or animal husbandry. If you want to further your degree to work with small animals or pets, you can get an associates degree. But if you are planning to be an AI Tech for large farms or expensive cattle breeds you will need a four-year bachelor's degree. To get a job as a tech you can contact local farms, cattle semen collection companies, veterinarian offices, and animal breeders.

Over time, the use of human stem cells has proven to be monumental in research, particularly in the field of disease modeling and drug development for treatments of diseases. However, there are many barriers that come with using human stem cells, specifically embryonic stem cells (ESCs), mainly due to the fact that they must come from either

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent and are obtained from the inner mass of a 4-5 day old human blastocyst that consists of approximately 100 cells (“Stem cell research,” 2009).

When the topic of stem cell research, and/ or treatment, people generally automatically jump to the conclusion of embryonic stem cells, when in retrospect according to Eurostemcell.org, an organization based website that is dedicated to supplying the public with the latest news and information on stem cells. According to the article there a few different types of stem cells. The first type of stem cell is, embryonic. Embryonic stem cells are grown in a laboratory from embryos cells at an early stage. The second type of stem cell is tissue stem cells. Tissue stem cells are found in all different parts of the body. Lastly the third type of stem cell is, Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS), or 'reprogrammed' stem cells. IPSC are similar to embryonic stem cells but they are from adult specialized cells.

I was waiting for my turn in a line to do my pull ups test and my body was tire shaking soak wet. I knew that my goal was attainable fifteen was enough to show I deserved to be there. I visualized myself doing it with proper form, close to perfect while breathing in and out profoundly. My turn came along and the Navy SEAL that was training us looked to me and said “you go”, I jumped and graved the bar with a strong grip, in front of the top tier leadership of the police academies magnet schools, without adrenaline or nervousness doing my pull ups. I was in my pull up number nine when I felt that I was not able to sustain the form of the exercise and I gave up there. I was finish and then the Navy SEAL acknowledged me because I was the only

Since the discovery of human embryonic stem cells, scientists have had high hopes for their use in treating a wider variety of diseases because they are “pluripotent,” which means they are capable of differentiating into one of many cell types in the body.

“In 1998, Thompson, from the University of Wisconsin, isolated cells from the inner cell mass of early embryos and developed the first embryonic stem cell lines. During that exact same year, Gearhart, from Johns Hopkins University, derived germ cells from cells in fetal gonad tissue; pluripotent stem cell lines were developed from both sources. Then, in 1999 and 2000, scientists discovered that manipulating adult mouse tissues could produce different cell types” . This meant that cells from bone marrow could produce nerve or liver cells and cells in the brain could also yield other cell types. These discoveries were exciting for the field of stem cell research, with the promise of greater scientific control over stem cell differentiation and proliferation.

iPSCs are adult stem cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to behave like the pluripotent stem cells found in embryos, i.e. can differentiate into any cell type in the human body. This was first completed successfully in mice in 2006 by Shinya Yamanaka and his team (Takahashi et al., 2006), then in humans in 2007 both by Yamanaka (Takahashi et al., 2007), and by James Thomson and his team in America independently (Yu, et al., 2007). Yamanaka and Thomson’s methods were similar. In the report by Yu et

The BACE1 gene is directly involved the production beta-amyloid plaques. Beta amyloid is a small part of a larger protein called APP (amyloid precursor protein). An enzyme cuts the APP in two places. The first enzyme to act is the BACE1 that generates the production of beta-amyloid. When BACE2 is activated it is responsible for destroying beta-amyloid by cutting it into pieces. Other enzymes assist BACE2, but it has been found to be the most efficient due to its ability to perform this function by two distinct mechanisms [3]. The genetically engineered induced pluripotent stem cells would first be differentiated into neural lineages prior to injecting them into patients. Direct injection of iPS cells in vivo can cause the formation of a teratoma. The transfusion would be conducted in two phases. Each phase will consist of a series of 8 injections of stem cells that have differentiated into a neural lineage from their own somatic cells. They would then be directly injected into various areas of the brain that are important for memory and cognition. These areas include: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. This entire procedure would first be conducted on mice. After phase II of the experiment, the results would be analyzed to determine if cognition in mice did in fact improve. If cognition were found to improve after the injection of the cells, the next step would be to preform a human clinical trial. If approved, the same procedure

In the Nature paper “Bidirectional developmental potential in reprogrammed cells with acquired pluripotency”, published in 2014 and now retracted, Haruko Obokata et al. described a new methodology for the conversion of somatic cells into pluripotent cells, without genetic manipulation or DNA transfer. Somatic cells were subjected to sublethal stimuli and, therefore, named “stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency” (STAP). The research consisted in introducing mouse somatic cells into a very acidic solution (low pH) or subjecting the external cell membranes to pressure. These stressful environmental stimuli led the somatic cells to a cell reprogramming. Obokata and colleagues, therefore, presented a fast, simple and cheap method of

The interest in developing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a regenerative medicine has been prospering due to its pluripotency and indefinite self-renewal capacity since first discovered in 19981,2. However, the method to harvest hESCs by destroying embryos raised ethical concerns and thus the progress of this therapeutics has been impeded for years. Alternative approach was not achieved until the discover of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by integrating a combination of transcriptional factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc) to human fibroblasts through retroviral vectors3,4. The research of iPSCs has grew rapidly since then due to its avoidance of embryo utility as well as its capacity to encapsulate disease phenotype, which is ideal for cell-based disease modelling and drug screening1,4. Furthermore, autologous iPSCs give possibility to non-immunogenic transplantation and thus provide promise to patient-specific therapy1.
