Stem cells are pluripotent cells present in all living organisms. These cells can differentiate into any type of cell‚ including nerves and cardiac muscle. The scientific community is very excited about the possibility of these undifferentiated cells being used to treat conditions such as spinal cord injuries‚ diabetes‚ and cancer. Despite the enormous potential for medical advancements‚ controversy surrounds the sources and methods of acquiring stem cells and the possible improper uses of the knowledge

The sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell have red blood cells that have mostly hemoglobin’s‚ Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped or crescent shaped and have trouble going through small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels‚ less blood can get to that part of the body. Tissue that does not get a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged.This is what causes the problems of sickle

discovered the endless possibilities of the so called embryonic stem cells. It has been said that these cells have the ability to repair an entire tissue or even create a copy of it. It is also said to be a potential cure for innumerable serious diseases such as the Alzheimer and the Parkinson’s disease. This is why stem cell research should definitely be funded for the enormous impact it can make in the medical field. Stem cell research is perhaps one of the most controversial topics in modern day

Cell Phone Abuse At the present day‚ with the development of IT and information industry‚ cell phone gradually plays an indispensable role in our daily life. Nonetheless‚ for the benefit of our concentration‚ health and social interaction around us‚ more attention should be paid to negative impact on the overuse of cell phone. According to a study of two hundred students at Sanford University revealed that 34 percent rated themselves as addicted to their phones‚ while 32 percent worried they

Sickle Cell Anemia‚ also known as Sickle Cell Disease‚ is a disease that causes the production of abnormal hemoglobin. The red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Hemoglobin‚ a molecule in the RBCs‚ is a protein that attaches to the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin takes on the oxygen‚ and releases carbon dioxide‚ a process known as oxygenation. In the tissues‚ deoxygenation occurs where the processes is reversed‚ when hemoglobin releases

Lab 4: Cell Structures and the Gram Stain Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the student with the use of a compound microscope and the Gram Stain test. Students will review a brief video and slides to introduce the compound microscope. Students will also view a video about the Gram Stain procedure and then answer questions related to it. Hypothesis If I look at the slides I will see where the cell wall is and what lies inside it and in the Gram Stain if I watch the video I will

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the
