Read the article then post a link to your article to this Padlet along with a 2-3 sentence summary of the topic. en-us 2022-02-14 17:20:24 UTC 2022-03-23 19:45:37 UTC hello@padlet.com kimmccabe https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2046797437 This is exciting because when these blood cells come from the patient's own pluripotent stem cells, they resulting blood cells are compatible with that patient's immune system and wont be rejected. This opens up new possibilities for better treatments for blood diseases by either using these cells to create compatible blood donations or by genetically modifying the person's cells in their body to cure the disease!]]> 2022-02-14 17:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2046797437 fionacasamassina https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2047077631 This is exciting because the research can help with understanding the development of embryos.  This opens up new windows for scientists research on how stem cells know when they need to start working and how embryos develop.

Scientists found this out by doing tests on mice and identified stem cells with syndecan-2 would replicate without cancerous cells.

While they are still a ways off from being mass-produced they taste identical to real chicken as several studies have shown. They also relieve the ethical and environmental concerns of eating meat. This could be the next step forward in how we eat our food and goodbye to animal cruelty found in factory farms. ]]> 2022-02-16 03:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050041359 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050063834 this article talked about how the stem cells work and what they do. it talked about the 3 different stem cells and how they have been used in the past. ]]> 2022-02-16 04:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050063834 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050098616 The NYT writes how stem cells could be used to treat things like HIV in the future. This woman was the third person to be cured of HIV, and it was extra special because she is a woman of color. This means the technology is being developed specifically and more closely to people. This new case is a huge deal in science and step in the right direction for biotechnology. The other two cases were treated using a bone marrow transplant, but neither ended well. In the newest case, it was treated with bone marrow stem cells , and she did not receive any side affects. ]]> 2022-02-16 04:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050098616 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050133970 Researchers at John Hopkins are working on making induced-pluripotent Stem cells to create dopamine and potentially cure Parkinson's. They have been trouble doing it with humans, and think that it is due to being able to catch the disease much earlier on than with humans. They think that this technology can be used much like biopsies of tumors in cancerous patients.]]> 2022-02-16 05:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050133970 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050135476 this article talked about how stem cells have been able to be grown in a lab and now is being used to make bone marrow. this can help a lot with bone cancer. and apparently that these kinds of transplants have less complications and have a increase in success. And so now researchers are trying to create a more efficient way of making them which would help everyone in the long run ]]> 2022-02-16 05:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2050135476 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051331841 The article which genetic engineering and biotech news provides is how dementia and Alzheimers may be stoped or solved. Scientist in UCLA believe that one injection or steam cells will heal the part of the brain that causes Alzheimer’s and dementia. Almost 5 million Americans have dementia or Alzheimer’s so hopefully steam cells can solve this condition. ]]> 2022-02-16 16:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051331841 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051433500 This article went over how stem cells serve as replacements for dying cells, for example red blood cells. Red blood cells are very important because they deliver oxygen and other nutrients throughout your body. Also, stem cells can become any type of cell, that is how your body grows from an embryo to a fetus with trillions of specialized cells. They need to specialize to make up tissues that function very differently, including those in the brain, skin, muscle and other organs.

They are also already treating patients with colorectal cancer, spinal cord injury, vision problems, HIV/AIDS and Alzheimer’s disease.]]> 2022-02-16 18:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051575721 nathandaniel3 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051776082 It talks about how while Stem Cell Therapy can be a good thing, it is also dangerous and risky when it is unproven. scientists think that it could one day lead to a lot of cures for viruses and diseases.]]> 2022-02-16 20:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051776082 https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051861507 it talks about how a mixed race woman was diagnosed with HIV and they used stem cells to cure her. the put the stem cells into her blood stream. and she did get cured, she was able to get off of her HIV medications after 3 years. and then 4 months after not being on her meds she was HIV free. this shows how stem cells are very useful and will help save many peoples lives. -bella ]]> 2022-02-16 20:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kimmccabe/Bioethics/wish/2051861507
