Cellular differentiation

The process of cell programming to commit suicide is also known as Apoptosis, it also is sometimes characterized by different characteristics and energy mechanisms. Apoptosis is too be considered as a very important part of different processes which mean proper development, cell-death, immune system, and many other programs that are vital to the human body. Research will continue to focus on the clearing up of the power of cell death. Also research will continue to seek how someone may be able

Before the topic was discussed in class, I had a general idea of what cloning is; however, I did not know that cloning involved a surrogate mother. In my mind, I knew it was a genetic copy of another human being, but I had a stigma behind the lab testing of the person. I thought that they were genetically created inside a lab. I thought cloning was morally permissible before we discussed it in class and, currently, I think it is morally permissible in some cases. I did not take into consideration

Skin repair is an important physiological process which is essential for homeostasis, restoring barrier function and preventing infection (Martin, 2009; Boateng and Catanzano, 2015). Wound healing is defined as a complex, dynamic and the specific biological process associated with the phenomena of tissue regeneration and growth (Mazumder et al., 2016). Regeneration can be defined as a tissue that significantly damaged either completely or partially removed and tissue's original function and cell

Nowadays, bone repair and regeneration has become a popular issue that many scientists use varies method to attempt to solve this problem. Several papers mentioned that scientists tried to solve this problem by either using autograft or allograft bone tissues. Due to the limitations of autografting such as patient pain, donor site morbidity, and limited supply, allografting has been used as alternative. Before using allografting, the understanding of its compatibility, possible transmission of diseases

Dolly the sheep, was the first animal cloned successfully by scientist, Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. Scientists cloned to mainly see if they could replicate the sheep without inbreeding. Cloning has a great advancement in our society, medical, and scientific researches. It shows that we have many more advancements coming in the future with cloning. Cloning for research should be used for these three main reasons: use of cloning through medicine, cloning to have healthy

life-threatening, chronic and debilitating diseases and conditions. Stem cells have the capability to divide and renew for long periods of time and can produce specialized cells. The ability of stem cells to produce more specialized cells is called differentiation. Cancer treatments currently result in considerable loss of healthy tissue, whereas stem cell treatment would spare normal cells while still targeting cancerous cells. Cancer currently kills 7.6 million people a year, 12.7million are diagnosed

The ability to trace cell lineages holds a massive amount of beneficial information for the medical community, biologists, and genetists. John Sulston started this revolution with his 1980s research over an embryo of Caenorhabditis elegans. Sulston traced the cell lineage of this organism from fertilization until multicellular development. In his observations, he recorded the development of 671 cells and the death of 111 cells. Understanding the history of where the cells come from has the promise

Neural crest cells are transient vertebral cell types, which form at the boundary between the neural plate and surface ectoderm. They are multipotent and able to migrate and differentiate into numerous derivatives resulting in them being referred to as the ‘fourth germ layer’. It is thought that the evolution of vertebrates is due to large-scale genome duplications which occurred early in the vertebrate lineage. Research suggests that there were two rounds of genome duplication during early vertebrate

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are derived from embryo that are three to five days old. At this stage, an embryo is called blastocyst and has about 150 cells. These are pluripotent which means they are capable of developing into any type of cell or tissue except those that form a placenta or embryo. In vitro fertilization also called IVF is a medical procedure in which an egg is fertilized by sperm in a test tube instead of a human body. It is one of the significant issue that has been remaining

Stem cells are defined as “mother cells that have the potential to become any new type of cell in the body” (Cashin-Garbutt). It sounds like a tool that can be used to help another’s health, yet it is a hot issue in the modern science world. The stem cells come from spare embryo’s, existing cell lines, and therapeutic cells (EuroStemCell). Therapeutic cloning stem cells aren’t even used in patients yet and existing cell lines are well accepted. There are adult stem cells, and embryotic stem cells
