Stem cells are cells that can divide for an infinite period of time when being grown outside of the body, and which can differentiate into various types of specialized cells. When fertilization of an egg with sperm occurs, the resulting fertilized cell...

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capability of self replication as well as being able to give rise to diverse types of differentiated or specialized cell lines. They are subclassified as embryonic stem cells, embryonic germ cells, or...

Stem cells are undifferentiated, multipotential somatic cells from which other, specialized cells arise by differentiation. Stem cells are cells which have the ability to divide infinitely, and to develop into the huge variety of specialized cells...

Cell therapy is a treatment intended to regenerate or rejuvenate the body by injecting it with healthy live or freeze-dried cells derived from animal organs or embryos. It is sometimes called fresh or live cell therapy. It is performed to treat...

Stem cells are cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Research in the stem cell field grew out of...

Richard Cohen With stem cells, Bush has to think, not simply feel By RICHARD COHEN Thursday, July 19, 2001 George Bush is attending Stem Cell U. He has been meeting with biologists, ethicists, theologians, religious leaders and, of course, his...

Byline: THE WASHINGTON TIMES It is certainly wonderful and remarkable news that cells that look and behave like embryonic stem cells can be produced from adult stem cells, making the unethical, expensive and inefficient process of cloning and killing human beings in...

The 63-34 roll call Wednesday by which the Senate voted to ease restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.On this vote, a yes vote was a vote to pass the bill and a no vote was a vote to defeat it.Voting yes were 44...

Research on embryonic stem cells continues to ignite national debate over the beginning of human life. And with the Legislature likely to take up the issue in its next session, many worry that inaccurate information is being perpetuated by stem cell proponents and their counterparts.Dr....

Stem cells have the potential to make progress on medical conditions that threaten human lives, The ethical question of stem cell use in research is being debated in the United States. The pros and cons of stem cell research are reviewed and the author strongly supports stem cell research.

Michael J. Fox. Christopher Reeve. Pope John Paul II. There is one thing that all three of these icons have in common: they all can or could have been helped by stem cell research. However, new limitations are being set on stem cell research, and they are greatly restricting the things that scientists can and cannot do.

Examines the issue of stem cell research, its implications, science and politics. Differentiates between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Explores what discoveries have been made due to stem cell research.
