Pluripotency

The idea of using stem cell therapy for medical treatments is relatively new. A great deal of research and investment has gone into developing stem cells into viable medical treatments by making them more accessible and safe to use. Stem cell therapy is showing great promise to treat before untreatable diseases like type one diabetes. The idea of using stem cell therapy for medical treatments is relatively new. A great deal of research and investment has gone into developing stem cells into viable

with the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) process, which is the converse of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phase of embryonic development. Reprogramming embodies the transient expression of OSKM transcription factors linked to pluripotency in somatic cells. These factors include c-Myc or Myc, KLF4, SOX2, and Octa4 (Li et al. 2017, p.6). They are critical to clinical translation of cell reprogramming in vivo. Their colonies resemble ESCs phenotypically, molecularly, and morphologically

derived in 1998 by Thomson et al. and induced pleuri potent stem cells(iPSCs) in 2007(Thai Journal of Obstetrics and GynaecologyApril 2013) The innate proficiency of the human embryonic stem cells to differentiate into multiple cell lineages i.e pluripotency and worthy of self renewal score them as invaluable sources in therapeutic and diagnostic field. However,there are some impediments seen in the generation and utilisation of these ESCs as some countries believe that isolation of ESCS from embryos

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells within the body that are defined by their ability to self renew and differentiate into specialized cells (1). Stem cells function in body tissues as a repair mechanism, with an unlimited ability to divide and restock cells as needed by the body. Each time a stem cell divides, the new cell formed can either remain a stem cell or differentiate into a specialized cell, such as a brain cell. Traditionally, there are two main types of stem cells: human embryonic stem

Stem Cell Research – The Final Cure What kind of research sparks a battle between religious-ethics, political, and scientific theories and beliefs? What makes you question right or wrong, moral or immoral, good or bad? The answer is stem cell research. So what is a stem cell? “Stem cells… are in effect, a human self-repair kit.” (Christopher Reeve, activist Larry King, CNN) Stem cells are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state, and can transform into any of the 220 types of cells that

the novel regulatory factor recognise the motifs which are highly conserved in both sequence and function they also exhibit the cell-selective occupancy patterns which are closely parallel to major regulators of development, differentiation and pluripotency (Dynan, W. S.& Tjian, R. The promoter-specific transcription factor Sp1 binds to upstream sequences in the SV40 early promoter. Cell 35, 79–87 (1983)). RESULTS Parallel profiling of genomic regulatory factor occupancy across 41 cell types

“I truly believe that stem cell research is going to allow our children to look at Alzheimer’s and diabetes and other major diseases the way we look at polio today, which is a preventable disease” (Solomon). Susan Solomon was the researcher that founded the New York Stem Cell Foundation and has been seen as the hero for stem cell scientists around the world. Over the past couple years, stem cell research has been at its highest; scientists all over the world are using these cells to try to find new

there are still bans and immense regulation on particular methods of human embryonic stem cell extraction that involve the destruction of embryos. This in some ways is good because it encourages scientists to find ways to utilize stem cells unique pluripotency or ability to become any cell without the destruction of live embryos. My recommendation is to create modifications to slightly intensify but mostly fortify this policy so that it may not be rescinded in the future. Policy Identification

Transplantation in animal models how much efficiently can be translated in human diseases? A main issue widespread to all disease areas is the validity of any single model or group of models (McGonigle, 2013); indeed a set of criteria has been proposed to evaluate an animal model for CNS disorders (Willner, 1984). In order to study a human pathology the choice of an appropriate animal model for preclinical study is mandatory since it will allow a more feasible translation to clinical study. In this
