The Cloning Controversy A mad scientist stands in one part of a double-chambered machine, leaving the other empty. As he presses a button, gears begin to whir and smoke. A bright light flashes, and out of the empty chamber steps a perfect replica of the scientist, complete with clothes and command of the English language. This sci-fi plot line may be familiar, but it has nothing to do with the actual, controversial cloning process, one that may be used by today’s scientists to create cloned

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL (is the most common malignancy in children, followed by acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is allocated only 20-25% of all newly diagnosed leukemia cases in children less than 15 years old (1), leukemia remains the most frequent malignancy affecting children, about 18% of all children cancers. Chronic forms of leukemia are very rare in children (2). In childhood leukemia factors such as parental exposure to ionizing radiation, maternal use of cigarettes, or contraceptives

transformed into a specialized cell. I was unable to comprehend and grasp the concept of "blank" cells that could be transformed into another type of cell. "Well, how exactly do they work?" I asked, "I told you, they just harvest them from embryos or bone marrow and treat them in the lab," he replied. Not convinced

Leukemia is a form of cancer that starts in your stem cells of the bone marrow, which makes blood cells. Leukemia is also a common cancer between children and teens. For most children and teens Leukemias’ symptoms contain fever, weakness, weight loss, and easy bleeding or bruising. The average cost of Leukemia treatments are

blindness, and even cancer. Over 26,000 people in Europe are being treated with different stem cell processes. A blind woman got her eyesight back from her own stem cells. She had been blind for over five years, and which stem cells extracted from bone marrow in her hip were injected into a different area in each eye, she gradually regained some of her

Introduction Erythrocytes (red blood cells – RBCs), leukocytes (white blood cells – WBCs), and thrombocytes (platelets) are there primary components of blood. All are produced and developed in the bone marrow with the participation of other organs and systems such as lymph nodes, spleen, and liver. This process is called hematopiesis. Most hematologic diseases and surgery complications related to blood can be detected through the complete blood count (CBC). WBC with or without differentials, RBC

We were blessed to hear some good news today, 1st that my bone marrow biopsy came back clear and 2nd that my ECHO was normal. We are so thankful for God’s grace! As I mentioned, today was also the consultation for the treatment plan. On Friday, I will be having surgery to have my port implanted. It is a minor surgery but thankfully, done under anesthesia. After the procedure, I will be admitted and prepped for chemo which will likely start Saturday morning. While in the hospital I will receive chemo

Lymphoma Lymphoma is when cells in the lymph system change and grow uncontrollably that may form a tumor. In the lymph system there are thin tubes that branch out to all different parts of the body ("Types of Cancer: Lymphoma"). Its job is to fight infections and diseases. In the lymph system it carries lymph which is colorless fluid containing lymphocytes that are white blood cells. The main job of a lymphocyte is to fight of germs in the body. Two main lymphocytes are B-lymphocytes and

water and have lots of useful substances dissolved within it, it main role is to transport the dissolved food to the rest of the body and transport Co2 to the lungs. Platelets are tiny fragments of cells, it is not a full cell and is made in the bone marrow and its job is blood clotting, when a region of the body is damaged a signal is sent and platelets bind together causing a blood clot so no
