The method may still be controversial because it uses unfertilised eggs, but many people will regard it as preferable to using human embryos. And there are other interesting methods for making stem cells. Discover the latest in science, tech, and space with over100,000 subscriberswho rely on ...
Scientists _13 believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and spinal cord damage.14_, stem cell research is extremely controversial. T he most effective stem cells donot come from adults but from ...
Right now, the notion that conventional computers and software are fundamentally incapable of matching the processes that take place in the brain remains controversial. But if it proves true, then the efforts of Conrad and his fellow AI rebels could turn out to be the only game in town.The ...
According to the author, despite some scientists' claim that it is more ethical to conduct studies on iPS cells rather than human embryonic stem cells, the former still has some problematic issues attached to it, includi...
An alternative 'embryonic cell theory' has been proposed for some classes of cranial germ cell tumours, but this still relies on the misplacement of cells in the brain (in this case the earliest embryonic stem cells) during early embryonic development. Recent evidence has demonstrated that neural...
The article enumerates the ethical issues associated with the use of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. According to the author, despite some scientists' claim that it is more ethical to conduct studies on iPS cells rather than human embryonic stem cells, the former still has some problematic...
So, since scientists are buying these progenitor cells from science supply companies to use all the time, can I safely assume that progenitor cells are acquired in a much less controversial way than stem cells are? From what I've read here, it seems to me that progenitor cells can be acqu...
Pivotal in many ways for human health, the control of adult bone mass is governed by complex, incompletely understood crosstalk namely between mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The SOX4, SOX11 and SOX12 (SOXC) transcription factors wer
. Stem cells are extraordinary in that they are capable of self-renewal and can differentiate into multiple cell types, particularly embryonic stem cells (ESCs)4. Even though, it is still unbelievable if there exists a single type and limited number of residential cells that have stem cell ...
Returning to the second issue, it is accepted that not all stem cells with hematopoietic potential are equal, and some very rare HSCs are more developmentally primitive than others. Therefore, the quest for the most primitive HSCs still continues, and several potential candidates have been proposed...
