Pig organs may soon be used for organ transplants.  How are researchers attempting to prevent rejection of the pig organs by human recipients?
How are stem cells shielded from the contents of the small intestine? a. By their tissue organization b. By their construction and maintenance c. By their location and by mucus d. By their self-renewing properties
Human embryonic stem cell research uses stem cells cultured from the blastula. These cells are pluripotent, meaning that these stem cells can develop many different types of human cells. Identify the part of the blastula that they are using and explain your choice.
