New Stem Cell Research



This article is about Stem Cell Research, and how new breakthroughs promise faster and more reliable research. Stem Cells have been used as cures for nearly everything including paralysis and blindness. They are also used to study diseases. In order for researchers to find new cell-based cures, they need plenty of cells to work on. This is hard though because it is hard to grow these cells in the lab. In order to “make” more stem cells, the researchers place them on a layer of animal cells, usually mouse cells. This can cause them to be rejected by the immune system though when reentered into the human body. There is only one known way to have the stem cells self-reproduce, but it requires a complex combination of proteins, which is why it isn’t done often. Some colonies also did better than others though, which is also a reason why it’s not done often in research.

I believe that this article could be included in many fields of study, considering that stem cells help in many different ways from blindness to paralysis. There is still much research to be done, from finding new and easier ways to grow and produce stem cells in the lab to finding new uses for them in curing diseases and helping in curing paralysis, blindness and many other things. If further research is done, there is sure to be a breakthrough in the near future. Stem cells could someday help to cure deaf or help in severe injuries.

I think that this article was put up to show that stem cell research is successful. I believe that we should care for this research because if anything were to happen to us, we would know that there is probably a cure for what ever the sickness or injury might be. Stem cell research also helps to cure diseases all around the world. It could well help if another new flu were to spread such as swine flu. Stem cell research also helps with lime disease, triple E, and Aid’s treatments. If this keeps up, stem cells may one day help to prevent these things.
