two. As the name suggests‚ the embryonic stem cells come from embryos. Contrary to what one may assume‚ it is not derived from eggs that are fertilized in a female body. It is gotten from eggs in its very early stages that have been fertilized in a vitro fertilization clinic. They are isolated into a plastic laboratory dish that contains nutrient medium and grows there. It is kept at a certain temperature and humidity‚ and then the cells divide. After several days‚ the cells are proliferated‚ and then

small box-like compartments he called cells. He was first to realise plant material had organised structure at microscopic level. (compound microscope) • 1831 Scottish Botanist Robert Brown was involved in a dispute about how pollination and fertilisation occurred in plants. During his study with orchids‚ he noted that ‘Each cell has a spherical structure’. He named it the nucleus of a cell. First to introduce the concept of a nucleated cell as unit of structure in plants. 1.2.2 Describe evidence

living organism with the entire body system. Measly cell cultures in petri dishes do not show how the respiratory‚ digestive‚ or nervous systems are affected by the drug being tested. Not all diseases that affect the body can be studied by using in vitro testing‚ either (“Should Animals Be Used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?”). On that note‚ if one was to study a condition that could not be researched by using cell cultures and animals were no longer an option‚ humans would have to be tested

Each year‚ more than a hundred million animals are tested on. Of those hundred million‚ 95% of them are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act (11 Facts About Animal Testing). This act is meant to protect animals by setting standards of care that animals must be provided‚ which includes: housing‚ handling‚ sanitation‚ food‚ water‚ veterinary care‚ and protection from extreme weather conditions. Even animals that are protected‚ suffer from abuse and torture. Most of the animals used in testing are

First of all‚ dendritic cells are isolated from the prostate cancer patient. The specific tumor antigen is then isolated‚ which in this case is the prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP). The dendritic cells are then exposed in vitro to a fusion protein that is consistent of PAP and GM-CSF‚ which is a cytokine important in the activation and proliferation of these dendritic cells. The activated APCs are then reinfused into the patient and stimulate TH and Tc cells which then specifically

The leading cause for death in a majority of countries including the United States and India is ischemic heart disease. It is estimated that one fifths of deaths in India are a result of cardiovascular diseases which include coronary heart disease‚ congestive heart failure‚ peripheral arterial disease‚ rheumatic heart disease and many more. These diseases result largely in ischemic heart failure which‚ if severe enough‚ can cause the loss of critical amounts of cardiomyocytes. This can lead to several
