Somatic, or adult stem cells, are undifferentiated cells that can renew itself. Once a stem cell reaches adulthood, it can only produce a specific type of cell. ]]> 2016-09-08 15:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122488714 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122491468 Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that can divide indefinitely into exact copies of itself. Eventually they will differentiate into different cells that make up the body.]]> 2016-09-08 15:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122491468 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122494024 A.Y
One of the most important types of stem cells because they can develop into any cell found in the human body.]]> 2016-09-08 15:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122494024 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122495129 -TC
Multipotent stem cells can create other types of cells, but is limited in terms of being able to differentiate. ]]> 2016-09-08 16:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122495129 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122495794 In order to obtain the stem cells the researchers must fertilize an egg in a laboratory then destroy it to separate out the cells.
In order to make a stem cell the researcher must take a skin sample from an adult patient and grow it on a petri dish in a laboratory]]> 2016-09-08 16:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122495794 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122497719 -TC
Up until recently, scientists could only extract stem cells via babies' inner cell masses. This process stirred up a lot of moral and ethical debate about whether or not stem cell research should be funded by the government. ]]> 2016-09-08 16:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122497719 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122499846 A.Y
Cell can be collected by bone marrow, circulating blood or umbilical cord blood.]]> 2016-09-08 16:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122499846 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/122501980 A.Y
Disadvantages
-high uncertainties
-unknown side effects 
-playing god
-perpetuates cloning of humans

Advantages
-immune medical benefits
-better knowledge of human growth
-key to reversing aging
-cure development defects before they happen

Bone marrow is extracted and used to replicate healthy cells.]]> 2016-09-12 15:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/1Astemcell/wish/123173638
