Embryonic Stem Cells konstantina_ https://padlet.com/konstantina_/The_3_Types_Of_Stem_Cells/wish/182508461 Embryonic stem cells are the most powerful stem cells.

- Can divide indefinitely 
- Are undifferenciated
- Can differenciate into any cell type

Ethical issue: Killing embryo to extract stem cells

- Possibility of rejection is low
- Can only give rise to certain cells (red blood cells and white blood cells)

After the patient goes through chemotherapy to kill the abnormal white blood cells, stem cells from donated bone marrow are transplanted into the patient. 

The stem cells give rise to a controllable amount of red and white blood cells. ]]> 2017-08-24 07:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/konstantina_/The_3_Types_Of_Stem_Cells/wish/182514437 Umbilical cord blood stem cells can be used to treat several diseases konstantina_ https://padlet.com/konstantina_/The_3_Types_Of_Stem_Cells/wish/182981159 http://www.stemcellsaustralia.edu.au/About-Stem-Cells/FAQ/What-are-umbilical-cord-stem-cells-.aspx]]> 2017-08-27 16:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/konstantina_/The_3_Types_Of_Stem_Cells/wish/182981159 Embryonic stem cells can be used to treat a wide range of diseases konstantina_ https://padlet.com/konstantina_/The_3_Types_Of_Stem_Cells/wish/182981679 http://www.eurostemcell.org/what-diseases-and-conditions-can-be-treated-stem-cells]]> 2017-08-27 16:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/konstantina_/The_3_Types_Of_Stem_Cells/wish/182981679
