Stem Cells Controversy
Both sides of the stem cells controversy are passionate about defending their positions. Before discussing stem cell research pros and cons it is important to understand the different types of stem cells and where they come from. Stem cells can come from three different sources. One source is from the bone marrow, peripheral blood vessels, [...]
Stem Cell Treatment For Diabetes – Cure Is Possible!
Diabetes is one of the worst plagues of the 21st century affecting millions and millions of people around the world and is currently considered an incurable condition, when a patient’s own immune system disables insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Stem cell treatment for diabetes is one of the hottest research topics among the leading scientists [...]
Pros of Stem Cell Research: Potential Lifesaver for Millions of People
Stem cell research pros and cons have made major headlines for the past couple of years raising public awareness and drawing a lot of public attention to this field of science. Stem cells are basic and somewhat primitive forms of cells that are intended to develop virtually into any tissue, organ or structure of a [...]
Stem Cell Treatment for Heart Disease
Stem cell treatment for heart disease focuses its efforts on converting adult stem cells that can be obtained from the bone marrow, skin sample or umbilical cord blood into their original pluripotent stem cells state necessary for the yield of a new organ, tissue or part of it. American Heart Associated makes it clear that [...]
Top 10 Diseases That Can Be Treated With Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Recent stem cell research studies reveled the great potential to treat many new and previously thought to be incurable conditions. We dug a little dipper and now we present you with a list of top 10 new diseases that can be treated with mesenchymal stem cells: 1. Heart Disease Mesenchymal stem cells have shown great [...]
Pluripotent Stem Cells – What Is Their Potential in Treating Diseases?
The potential of pluripotent stem cells is enormous when it comes to treating diseases and medical conditions. The stem cells controversy does not center around whether or not these cells have benefits, but where they come from instead. This type of stem cell can develop into any cell type in the body, but is initially [...]
Top 10 Arguments Against Stem Cell Research
Embryonic stem cell research has been in the controversial focus for many years and has gathered a lot of opposition to stem cell research from the public and religious groups. Some believe that there’s a lot of potential in the embryonic stem cell research as only this cell has the flexibility for repairing damaged nerves, [...]
Top 10 Ways of Using Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Transplants
Umbilical cord blood is usually drawn from the umbilical cord after it had been detached from the newborn baby not causing any harm to the baby or mother. It’s believed to contain so called pure blood stem cells without the blood markers or antigens that can potentially be rejected by the recipient’s immune system. Extracted [...]
Stem Cell Research: Pros and Cons
Stem cell research therapy has become a major breakthrough in modern medical science since the discovery of antibiotics in the 1940s. Ever since then stem cell research pros and cons have been in the public spotlight. All major life forms take their origins with the stem cells, which can multiply to form any organ or [...]
