I found this website with interesting facts and scientific research on stem cells. I learned that all the cells in your body come from stem cells and scientists are currently trying to use them for medical regenerative treatment. The article talks about how stem cells can be turned into specialized cells and can replace and repair old or damaged organs in order to keep the body functioning. This relates back to our lesson where we learn how specialized cells are created and used. 9/11/2018 06:48:11 pm
In this article, it talks about how neural stem cells (stem cells that give rise to other cells in the nervous system) have created a line of spinal cord, showing a diverse promise. Researchers have appeared to have made spinal cord neural stem cells by taking pluripotent stem cells from a human. This means that the pluripotent stem cells helped to differentiate into a population of cells distributed in the spinal cord, helping the spinal cord function with neural stem cells that can make nerve cells, etc.

In this article, the writer talks about stem cells that were taken from baby teeth to help repair injured permanent teeth. Patients were told to give pulp of one of their healthy tooth to be brought to a lab for it to have grown before implanting in injured tooth. Researchers say that this treatment gives patients sensation back in their teeth. 9/12/2018 05:59:41 pm
While browsing the internet I stumbled upon this post which I found absolutely hilarious... which makes me wonder if Ms. Loree's sense of humor is rubbing off of me :) 9/14/2018 05:20:06 pm
This article is about cancer stem cells and how scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to destroy them. Stem cells divide into more cells, however sometimes those are tumor cells that harm the body. Using drug-filled nanoparticles, they can be killed.

Today I read an article about how stem cells are being used to treat various diseases. One of the diseases it talked about was alpha thalessemia, which can lead to dangerously low levels of red blood cells. This means there will be less O2 throughout the body. Neither parent is affected but if their genes combine in a certain way then their children could be. Two parents discovered through an ultrasound of their 18 week old daughter that she had the condition. Her chance of survival was grim and if she did she would have depended on blood transfusions for the rest of her life. So the doctor suggested an experimental treatment by using a stemcell transplant given to the baby in the utero. To get the stemcells they needed to extract it from the bone marrow of the mom which is dangerous considering she's pregnant, but she did it anyways. Her daughter would be the fetus in the world to receive stem cells from her mother in a carefully monitored clinical trial. 9/14/2018 09:05:01 pm
This program offers non medical procedures using NSI stem cells which can treat bad pain and joint injuries. Some examples are, arthritis, back pain, shoulder pain, and muscle injuries. 9/15/2018 03:31:20 pm
This article talks about the future of stem cells. Japanese scientists, have found a way to grow tissues that make a human eyeball, with a sample of adult skin. Assorted types of human stem cells, can gain possession of the attributes of the cornea, lens, and retina. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
