Question
Chapter 20, Problem 40RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The location and characteristics of adult stem cells.
2. The potential benefits and disadvantages of using adult stem cells over embryonic stem cells for regenerative medicines.
Introduction:
Stem cells are a type of undifferentiated cells that undergo cell division in order to produce some stem cells, as well as other cells that become differentiated or specialized into different cell types. These stem cells are of different types such as embryonic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, adult stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.

- Excerpt from "Stem Cells Applications in Regenerative Medicine and Disease Therapeutics" by Ranjeet Mahla (2016)Regenerative medicine... deals with functional restoration of specific tissue and/or organ of the patients suffering with severe injuries or chronic disease conditions, in the state where bodies own regenerative responses do not suffice. Donated tissues and organs cannot meet the transplantation demands of aged and diseased populations that have driven the thrust for search for the alternatives. Stem cells are endorsed with indefinite cell division potential, and can [differentiate] into other types of cells. Stem cells pave foundation for all tissue and organ system of the body and mediates diverse role in disease progression, development, and tissue repair processes in host. 18) Which statement, summarized from the excerpt, best supports the claim that stem cells can be used in regenerative therapeutic technology to treat organ failure or congenital disease for a…arrow_forwardWhat is the status of tissue engineering and stem cell reseaech in the Philippines.

Given Bob's age and overall health, the doctor's decide to perform a "mini-transplant" of bone marrow. This procedure requires much less chemotherapy and radiation than traditional bone marrow transplants. It is designed to remove some of the patient's existing bone marrow, to suppress the cancer cells, and to prevent the patient's body from rejecting the bone marrow transplant. This type of transplant is still considered experimental for MDS treatment. It takes Bob a month to go through the chemotherapy and radiation treatments to ready his body for transplant. 6.
