Which does not sound far-fetched since DNA contains all of the information needed for replication, differentiation, growth, and development, in addition to the countless cellular fates, as described in Waddington’s landscape. Instead, DNA is a guide for our cells, and Epigenetics is the tool that coerces them into their final cellular form.

    through the deadly disease we all know to be cancer. Malignant tumors, are group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade and/or spread to other parts of the human body. There are over 100 kinds of cancers and diseases in this world. Scientists has enlightened the world with a new discovery of treatment for certain diseases by using stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Embryonic stem cells are known to be
