Medical Issues- Stem Cells Click on The Nature of Stem Cells to answer the following questions. 1.) Compare a stem cell and a specialized cell. Specialized cells carry out specific functions. These specialized cells are called differentiated cells. On the other hand‚ a stem cell is undifferentiated. Its role in the body is not yet determined. A stem cell can give rise to multiple cell types‚ including many stem cells. 2.) Describe a blastocyst. The blastocyst looks like a lopsided hollow ball

This clinic is one of its kind in Slovakia with highly qualified staff that treats the patients who suffer from acute Leukemia. Chemotherapy doesn’t often work and in many cases the disease comes back. The best effective treatment for diagnosed patients with this disease is to undergo the bone-marrow transplantation. “Stem cells are removed from another person‚ called a

Bone marrow is a spongy substance inside our bones where our body synthesizes and stocks blood cells. While it’s damaged‚ it makes very little blood cells and in-sufficient cells for our immune system. A transplant replaces impaired bone marrow with healthy marrow cells. It can preserve certain diseases or some forms of cancer. It also conveys a long recovery process and a risk of severe side effects. If you or any member of your family is thinking about having one‚ you should know about all the

Introduction There are many ways cells dispose of toxic molecules in order to maintain the necessary internal environmental conditions to survive. These toxic molecules are known as free radicals that contain an unpaired electron on the outer orbit (Proljsak et al.2013). Some examples of free radicals that can be found in the cell are superoxide (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and even reactive metals like copper and iron. These free radicals are produced based on the environment the individuals

Introduction Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is often a much too frequent complication of allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplants (BMT). Bone marrow transplants are given to treat malignant and nonmalignant diseases such as leukemia‚ lymphoma‚ marrow failure also known as aplastic anemia‚ metabolic disorders‚ HIV‚ Inherited red cell disorders (Gratwohl‚ 2006). Bone marrow can be taken from umbilical cord blood‚ peripheral blood stem cells and from bone marrow itself from various donors. They can
