In the original protocol of growing these cells, the inside of the dish is lined with mouse embryonic skin cells that is specially treated so the they won't divide. The coating layer in the dish is called the feeder layer and it provides a sticky surface so the cells can attach while duplicating. ]]> 2016-09-09 20:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122881799 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122883145 A somatic stem cell is an undifferentiated cell in which it is found within other differentiated cells in a tissue or an organ. These types of cells can renew themselves and can naturally stay away from the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ. The primary job of somatic stem cells are to maintain and repair the living tissue in which they are found in. ]]> 2016-09-09 20:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122883145 DevonStockham https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122981355 Embryonic stem cells are usually more prized than somatic stem cells for a couple of important reasons. The main reason why scientists like working with embryonic cells better is because they have the ability to develop into every type of cell in the human body. The second reason is that embryonic stem cells are able to have unlimited divisions and can multiple a little bit faster than somatic stem cells. Both types of stem cells are important to science, but embryonic stem cells are probably more useful of different scientific explorations. ]]> 2016-09-11 20:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122981355 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122990741 Stem cells can benefit many people in this world, but also those who haven't been born yet. The way the stem cell can benefit the embryo is by actually changing some birth defects. Some benefits of the Embryonic Stem Cell research is that it has the potential to cure many things like spinal cord injuries, birth defects, and Parkinson's disease but also many different genetic and rare system disorders like diabetes, HIV, HCV, leukemia and breast cancer.]]> 2016-09-11 23:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122990741 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/122996620 The moral and ethical controversies surrounding the Stem Cell Research is that many believe that it is taking away the value of a human life. Also, many people have different ways as to defining embryo's, either viewed as a person while it is still an embryo, or as a soon to be person. Many also think that the embryo's should have some type of protecting over this because the embryo has yet not reached his full potential.

There's two types of Stem Cells which are the Embryonic and adult Stem Cells. The Stem Cells can divide and produce identical copies of one another over and over calling this process differentiation. The self renewal continues throughout the life of the organism itself. ]]> 2016-09-13 02:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/123327965 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bstemcell/wish/123330776 A Stem Cell is special because it can differ from other kinds of cells in the body. All Stem Cells have 3 general properties that are capable of dividing and recommencing themselves for long periods of time. The Stem Cells are unlimited for an all purpose rise to specialized cells. So for the cells that are limited can eventually be replaced.

Stem cells can be collected from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood.

Adult cells are limited to a particular type where the specimen was extracted. Therefor when the cells come from the brain, it will only generate a similar type.
