Research involving stem cells has proven to help rats with injuries similar to that of a stroke recover by stimulating stem cells found in the brain, though very few stem cell treatments found have been used on humans.]]> 2018-10-03 17:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288802304 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288802673 Stem cells improve medicine through cell-based therapies and drug discovery which both enhance basic knowledge of stem cells. Cell therapies use stem cells to understand illnesses and find things that could potentially help it. Embryonic stem cells are used for specialized tissues that could have possibly been damaged by disease such as the heart. Stem cells are the future of medicine because they allow for the treatment of things that used to be not treatable to man.]]> 2018-10-03 17:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288802673 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288803106 Stem cells can be used in medicine to make more specialized tissues, provide a resource for new medical treatments, and to study diseases. By researching stem cells, scientists could pin point what goes wrong and causes certain diseases. Transplantable stem cells can be used to turn into other specific cells that your body needs. Stem cells can be used to test out new medications, instead of putting a person or animal at risk, the medication can be tested on a large group of specialized stem cells.]]> 2018-10-03 17:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288803106 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288803251 Stem cell treatment could be used to treat disease. Research using rats has shown a significant improvement to rats with prior injuries like a stroke, by using stem cells to simulate brain cells.

How can stem cells treat disease? What diseases could be treated? ]]> 2018-10-03 17:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288803492 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288803656 In the article it talks about how researchers are exploring the possibilities of ways that Doctors could use stem cells from adult body tissue to grow new body parts as well as repair old ones. It goes into a further explanation of how researchers are learning how to be able to trick these adult stem cells into thinking that they are stem cells that are from embryos. It also explains how these tricked stem cells can act like a stem cell from embryo in that they are not yet determined what they will be so the cells can repair and regrow organs and tissues that are damaged but not meant for originally.

They can be used in cell therapies and drug discovery to take the place of the damaged tissues.  For tissues that are constantly being replaced, stem cells can be implanted to directly replace these tissues. ]]> 2018-10-03 17:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288803721 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288804121 The following article talks about the ways stem cells can be used in research and in medical treatments. The focus of stem cell research is to generate a tissue and transplant it to heal an injury or cure a disease such as cancer. Transplanting human bone marrow cells into mice that have had heart injuries has shown promise in regenerating blood vessels and the heart tissue itself.

Stem cells are used to treat diseases and conditions of the blood and immune system, or to restore the blood system after treatments for specific cancers. Some bone, skin and corneal diseases or injuries can be treated by grafting  tissue that depends upon stem cells from these organs. ]]> 2018-10-03 17:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288805066 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288805607 This article gives a good overview of the advantages of stem cells, and the possibilities in the medical field.  It also provides links to other places to learn more about specific topics.  This article gives a good summary of how scientists use Stem Cells, and study them. ]]> 2018-10-03 18:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288805607 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288805846 https://www.nature.com/stemcells/2007/0706/070614/full/stemcells.2007.23.html
Stem cells could help medicine out in a variety of ways. Cell- based therapies are used to help directly repair and replace damaged cell tissue. Stem Cells could also be used to help find drugs to battle disease . This is helpful because scientists wouldn't have to do harmful tests on animals because their bodies may react differently to it.]]> 2018-10-03 18:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288805846 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288806851 Embryonic stem cells can be differentiated into any type of cell in the body. This means that stem cells could be used to cure a number of diseases, and could even be used in patients in need of an organ transplant. In order for scientists/doctors to achieve this they have to know the exact series of signals. If they give the wrong signals, or even the right signals in the wrong order, the cell could either stay immature or differentiate into the wrong cell. So before scientist can use these cells they first have to discover that sequence of signals. Once they have that information they can get the stem cells to specialize into whatever cell they need. Then they can use those newly matured adult cells to combat different diseases. Scientist also have to make sure that the stem cells are fully matured before they put them into a human/animal because if they aren't they could cause teratomas, a form of tumors that are a mass of different cell types, like hair or teeth. ]]> 2018-10-03 18:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288806851 https://padlet.com/jpearman/stemcells/wish/288808199 Scientist struggle sometimes when growing these stem cells because if they grow excessively then that could create cancer so right now doctors and scientist are finding a way to make sure that the cells grow more but to a point that is good for the patient.

The best defined and most used treatment is Blood Cell transplant, this treatment is used to restore the blood after a treatment. Some injuries can be treated with a skin graph  that depends upon these stem cells reproducing.
