    nonspecialized cells which have the potential to create other types of specific cells in order to survive? Those cells are called Stem Cells and they are very crucial to develop organisms. Stem cell research is a subject that most people in the world have a different viewpoint on. Some view the issue of stem cell research and stem cell therapy as morally wrong and a crime against humanity, others view the study of stem cells as the next step in modern science (Reeve.) I think in some twisted way, stem cell

    STEM CELLS WORKING TO SPECIALIZE INTO CARDIAC CELLS Once the stem cells are delivered near the damaged areas of the heart, the regeneration of cardiac (heart) cells is possible. There is a lack of understanding on how or why specifically the stem cells turn into heart cells. “Recent studies indicated that the benefits associated with adult stem cell injection might come from paracrine effects, the effect of a nearby cell sending chemical and electrical signals to the stem cell, and not from myocardial

    progresses. One miraculous research that shows great results in advancing our medical technology is stem cells. Stem cells are “specialized cells that can self-renew indefinitely and that can also differentiate into more mature cells with specialized functions”(Stem 12). These cells are able to divide itself for indefinite periods. They generate a lot and are able to create new cells, it especially has the potential to either remain as a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized
