Stem cells are the foundation to our organs and tissues. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are numerous and different types of cells in the body. However, Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in three ways: They can divide and renew themselves over a long time. They are unspecialized, so they cannot do specific functions in the body. They have the potential of becoming specialized cells, such as muscle cells, blood cells, and brain cells (medlineplus). ]]> 2018-05-10 01:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/259498010 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260277779 Here is a picture showing the types of stem cells: tissue, embryonic and pluritopotent.]]> 2018-05-13 22:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260277779 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260280021 One of the important areas in medicine that stem cells are used, is regenerative medicine. This type of medicine could completely cure organs and tissues from the human body someday.  If you would like to know more information about how this type of medicine is being developed,  click the link below.  The Mayo Clinic website is a really cool website that has information on this medical field.]]> 2018-05-13 22:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260280021 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260283339 Studying stem cells can help find answers to how conditions such as birth defects and cancer develops. They could help answer many unanswered questions in medical science.]]> 2018-05-13 23:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260283339 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260284398 2018-05-13 23:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260284398 DIABETES lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260285712 Probably this caught your attention. 
 It is what you are thinking. Researchers are using stem cells to find a cure for Diabetes. Researchers are investigating how to deal with glucose sensing cells; the cells affected when a person is diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 or 2. This could help so many people in the United States.

  Just keep in mind that stem cells could one day be the factor that decides between life and death.]]> 2018-05-13 23:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260287694 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260288323 According to the Charlotte Lozier Institute, “Over 1 million patients worldwide have been treated with adult stem cells and experienced improved health.” Demonstrating that stem cells are not only benefiting people in the USA, but people around the world. According to the same study, there are patients in more than 75 countries who have been successfully treated with adult stem cells (Charlotte Lozier Institute) ]]> 2018-05-13 23:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260288323 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260288729 In an article by CNN, 18 patients with severe vision loss were treated successfully with stem cells. ]]> 2018-05-13 23:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260288729 lperez05 https://padlet.com/lperez05/72ipqx4n6kgj/wish/260288860 Here is a brief summary about  Douglas Waters, who was suffering from severe sight loss. 
 The treatment in which Douglas Water was sometido was macular regeneration. Waters was treated with retinal pigment epithelium cells; a type of cells that is implanted as a retinal eyepatch. The insertion of this eyepatch could last about two hours. After the insertion, Waters was monitored for a year.  After this period, he showed a remarkable improvement in his vision. He went from almost blind and not seeing anything to being able to read and help his wife with gardening (UC at Santa Barbara, 2018)
