Stem cell-based drug delivery for cancer therapy has steadily gained momentum in the past decade as several studies have reported stem cells’ inherent tropism towards tumors. Since this science is still in its early stages and there are many factors that could significantly impact tumor tropism of...
Reports have confirmed the presence of a subset of BC cells (BCCs) with self-renewal ability, which are referred as cancer stem cells (CSCs). The CSCs can remain dormant for decades following either incomplete removal of the primary tumor or through resisting current chemo-, radio- and ...

The derivation of pluripotent stem cell lines from oocytes and embryos is fraught with disputes about the onset of human personhood. The reprogramming of somatic cells to produce induced pluripotent stem cells avoids the ethical problems specific to embryonic stem cell research. In any hSC research,...
Stem Cell Definition, Types & Function from Chapter 7 / Lesson 19 55K Understand what stem cells are and know their usage. Learn about embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent stem cells. Related to this QuestionWhat...
Rapid progress in biotechnology has introduced a host of pressing ethical and policy issues pertaining to stem cell research. In this review, we provide an overview of the most significant issues with which the stem cell research community should be fami
Sadler and Zeidler pointed out, by 2005, “current socioscientific issues frequently stem from biotechnological advances such as cloning, stem cells, genetically modified foods, and environmental challenges such as global climate change, land-use decisions, and the introduction of exotic substances (both...
Alternative sources of adult stem cells: A possible solution to the embryonic stem cell debate The complex moral and ethical debate surrounding the definition of the origins of human life, together with conflicting current and proposed legislation on state and federal levels, is hindering the course...
A three-year in-situ study on the persistence of a combined amendment (limestone+sepiolite) for remedying paddy soil polluted with heavy metals Experimental results indicated that LS significantly increased soil pH values for all three seasons, and the enhancement ranked as followsfirst season>second...
cells have been ongoing for many years, but a special section in the latest issue of Perspectives in Biology and Medicine takes a deep look at some of the newest and most complex issues—including the direct global sales of services and untested and unproven products marketed as stem cells.Gue...
