Embryonic stem cell research "uses special cells found in three-to-five day old human embryos to seek cures for a host of chronic disease" (PRC). (ipl.org)
Pluripotent2
Stimulated pluripotent cells normally do not have any p method of maintenance and reproducibility. (vumc.org)
It was the discovery of a fluorescent green protein found in a jelly fish deep in the ocean that first enabled scientists to further their hypothesis that adult stem cells may have the same pluripotent capabilities as embryonic stem cells. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Transplant2
Embryonic stem cell transplants have been an ethical, social, and legal controversy since the first successful transplant of human stem cells in 1998. (ipl.org)
During his tenure, President Bush banned the use of resources from the federal government to develop new stem cell lines because from a religious point of view he believed life was a precious gift whose sanctity ought to be respected and protected. (vumc.org)
Characteristics2
Culture adaptation leads to cells with enhanced growth characteristics and sometimes to embryonal carcinoma cells malignant ES cells that have lost the ability to differentiate. (vumc.org)
The authors of the study wrote, "Our results clearly show that adult stem cells from the marrow can gain access to the adult brain and assume characteristics of central nervous system neurons. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Research12
STEM CELL RESEARCH is a very controversial topic in today's time. (ipl.org)
Stem cell research is not worth supporting. (ipl.org)
Advocates of stem cell research believe that the cells are not equivalent to human life because it is inside the womb even facing the fact that the start of a human life is in the moment of conception. (ipl.org)
While many people say the use of the cell research is a way to advance medical knowledge and expand treatments, there is no guarantee that the treatments will work. (ipl.org)
In recent years, several competing viewpoints have emerged about embryonic stem cell research. (ipl.org)
All of this debate raises an important question, Should embryonic stem cell research be conducted for treatment of present and future diseases? (ipl.org)
People who believe that an embryo should not be destroyed tend to say that embryonic stem cell research should not be conducted. (ipl.org)
On the other hand, people who believe that embryonic stem cell research creates means of curing diseases reply that the research should be conducted. (ipl.org)
In the recent past, it has also been a pivotal point of reference in the arguments made by the two sides regarding stem cell research as evidenced by the decisions made by former American presidents, George W Bush, and Barrack Obama. (vumc.org)
It is a practice that has been outlawed in the US since 1996, but the current stem cell lines under research were exempted from that legislation. (vumc.org)
In less than two weeks time, the engrafted fluorescent stem cells had traveled through the bloodstream to the heart muscle and differentiated into cardiac muscle and endothelial cells which contributed to the formation of functional cardiac tissue, as well as new blood vessels.

Means2
What this means is that the stem cells do not last long and can not be distinguished from other cells. (ipl.org)
This means they cannot be changed into different cell tissues. (vumc.org)
Ability6
Also known as "master cells," a stem cell has the ability to differentiate into other cell tissue types. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
This ability allows the stem cell to become many different types of cells as needed by the body and, therefore, act to support optimal organ and tissue function. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Stems cells have the ability to act as a repair system, rebuilding and restoring healthy functions and replenishing other cells as long as the organism is alive. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
This concept led the world's first adult stem cell nutrition company, to develop a product which could enhance the body's natural ability of mobilizing (RELEASING) adult stem cells from the bone marrow. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
However, there is now a way that every single person, no matter what their health condition, can have access to the benefits of enhancing their body's innate ability to repair every organ and tissue using stem cell nutrition. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Not only does Stem Cell Nutrition promote the rapid release of stem cells from the bone marrow but it increases their ability to get to the damaged tissues that need them most by perfecting their homing mechanism. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Present1
Through cell nutrition studies we have gained remarkable perspective as to the natural healing mechanisms utilized by the human body for cellular regeneration and repair as produced by adult stem cells already abundantly present in the bone marrow. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Human4
Not only has it sparked a hundreds of debates it also has been the center of much criticism for its use of human cells. (ipl.org)
In fact to get a embryonic stem cell a human embryo has to be disassembled. (ipl.org)
In a recent report,95 human ES cells were shown to express low levels of MHC class I proteins. (vumc.org)
It is not possible to save the embryo when these cells are harvested from it, which ends the potential future viability of human life. (vumc.org)
Treatment2
Stem cells differentiate into many specialized cells and are therefore of interest in chronic conditions for which treatment is limited. (vumc.org)
The National Institutes of Health lists 74 treatable diseases using ASCs in therapy - an invasive and costly procedure of removing the stem cells from one's bone marrow (or a donor's bone marrow) and re-injecting these same cells into an area undergoing treatment. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Support1
When you take two stem cell release capsules, the ingredients help to support the mobilization of millions MORE stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
Alive1
For those of you who don't know stem cells are unspecialized cells found in living things and are able to grow and rebuild themselves as long as the host is alive. (ipl.org)
Cancer1
Henrietta Lacks was a African American with cells that intrigued many people, she was diagnosed with cancer leaving her to be cared for at her local hospital, where she would later die due to the extremity of the illness. (ipl.org)
Body3
By isolating the DNA of the fluorescent protein and then injecting that same genetic code into adult stem cells in a laboratory setting, they could follow their trafficking tendencies by seeing which parts of the body were lit up with fluorescent coloring. (adult-stemcells-blog.com)
