Question
Chapter 11, Problem 10SQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The three potential sources of stem cells.
Introduction: Stem cell has the ability to continuously divide and differentiate into other kind of cells. They are different from other cells of the body in that they have the ability to differentiate into other cells types. This ability allows them to replace cells that have died. With this ability they have been used to replace defective cells in patients who have certain disease or defects.

- Define stem cells, distinguish between embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells, and describe some of the promising areas of research involving stem cells.arrow_forwardA controversial issue, closely related to cloning, that has caused a lot of debate is the use of embryonic stem cells. One possible application of these cells is that they may be able to supply replacement tissues to treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, paralysis due to spinal cord injuries, and other degenerative diseases. The word "embryonic", has caused fierce opposition to this type of research because embryos are destroyed when the stem cells are removed. Questions that have surfaced in this debate include: When a cell nucleus is transferred to another cell, have we created life? Does a stem cell have the same status as a human? What should be done with the embryos that are leftover at in vitro fertilization (IVF), clinics? Advocates argue that the medical benefits of stem cell research would be enormous. Opponents argue that life begins at conception and thus this type of research is abortion. Based on what you have read, explain why you are for or against stem…arrow_forwardPlease explain the role of gene expression in the process of a stem cell differentiating into a neuron rather than a liver cell.
