receptor in T cells isolated from HIV patients to protect these lymphocytes from infection with the virus have been initiated. Moreover‚ ZFNs have been successfully employed to knockout or correct disease-related genes in human stem cells‚ including hematopoietic precursor cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. Targeted genome engineering approaches in multipotent and pluripotent stem cells hold great promise for future strategies geared toward correcting inborn mutations for personalized cell replacement

The FGF is also involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system [4]. Recent advances in isolating and maintaining stem cells have shown FGF2‚ and 5 are one of the key factors of proliferation and differentiation.

Stem cells are cells that have the ability to become any cell type in the body such as a muscle‚ a brain‚ or red blood cell‚ or any other cell. Because of that‚ they are able to repair organs and tissues and can potentially treat diseases such as diabetes and heart disease‚ which is the number one killer in the Unites States. Although stem cells can help massively‚ there is ethical controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research involves taking the stem cells from

Book Review 1 The book review is about the book titled “Brainwashed: the seductive appeal of mindless neuroscience”. The book was published a couple of years ago in 2013 in New York by Sally Satel and Scott O. Lilienfeld. I chose to write a review on this book because a couple of years ago when I started school at Portland State‚ I had joined a book club through the neuroscience club at PSU‚ where they chose this book for a term. During that time‚ the book was very trending due to some contemporary

Stem cells and stem cell therapy is a fairly new scientific concept that was founded in the mid twentieth century. It is based on the idea of regenerating parts of the body that have been damaged due to disease or illness. It is a form of treatment unlike most of the drugs and medications beginning to surface‚ mainly because scientists believe that the purpose of stem cell therapy is to focus more on the regeneration of the human body. The unique abilities and properties that stem cells hold‚ create

The Mesopotamian “Epic of Gilgamesh”‚ at its core‚ is a story of heroic deeds. The epic details Gilgamesh overcoming several obstacles in his quest to becoming an exceptional leader and warrior. This particular epic has been since 2300 B.C.E. and‚ not surprisingly‚ it has been used as a source of inspiration for many years. Specifically‚ in the 1994 episode of “Batman: The Animated Series” entitled Bane‚ the titular villain is subjected to an invasive experimental procedure that had been dubbed Project

When most people think about a fetus‚ the first thing that comes to mind is innocence. Due to the views on a fetus‚ experimentation is not publically endorsed. People can be uninformed about fetal experimentation‚ which can lead to rumors of conspiracy revolving around the research. If people would take a step back and learn about fetal tissue exploration‚ then these fabrications would not longer take place. Just like anything within the research field‚ there are going to be pros and cons. The pros
