this by printing out organs. Essentially‚ by using a 3D printer‚ organs can be created using a patient’s own cells. So far‚ it is easier to print out certain types of cells‚ such as skin cells. More complicated organs‚ such as kidneys and livers are harder to replicate because their structure has a more diverse‚ complicated plethora of cells. It is also very difficult to keep these cells alive after printing them. Although the 3-D printing of organs is very limited today‚ there is hope in the future

Stem Cell Research A twenty-two year old women just found out she had Stage IV Melanoma cancer. The doctors said there was little to no chances of her surviving‚ and there was nothing more they could do- unless an embryonic stem cell transplant was possible. Although some people may think otherwise‚ I believe that stem cell research on embryos should be continued because scientists will be able to find a safe solution to curing dangerous diseases‚ the research won’t be hurting anyone‚ and it could

For example‚ skin cells could be clones‚ so that someone who had suffered severe burns could have skin grafts made for his or her own cells‚ and then new skin which suited the patient perfectly could be grown to cover the damaged area. Other kinds of cell might be cloned to help

Now at days‚ a person on the donor waiting list has to wait many months (and even years) to get a transplant of heart‚ liver or any other organ that they might need; if printing organs become a mainstream treatment ‚any doctor could use the cells of said person to grow the organ or tissue that they need in less time and for less money. This means that the public could have a new‚ cheaper and safer option to treat their illnesses or repair their damaged organs and tissues. However‚ in 2016

Introduction: What are stem cells? Stem cells are unspecialized cells with the capacity to divide and form specialized cells‚ when the circumstances call for it. There are two sources for stem cells: adult and embryonic. Adult stem cells are multipotent cells‚ which can be found in adult tissues. The cells are thought to reside in “niches” in organs and tissues‚ some of which are bone marrow‚ peripheral blood‚ skeletal muscle‚ brain‚ heart‚ and liver. These cells are capable of dividing following

CHAPTER 2: CELLS Learning about disease is often simplified by growing it in a dish – some cells like heart and nerve cells however do not grow easily outside the body. Cellular reprogramming takes cell back to a state similar to stem cells and then coaxes them to specialize in a different way. Example – LEOPARD syndrome MIM 151100.
