An in-Depth Study of a Very Niche Subject in the Wide Field of Stem Cells.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c57126) has announced the addition of "Delving into Stem Cell stem cell In living organisms, an undifferentiated cell that can produce other cells that eventually make up specialized tissues and organs. There are two major types of stem cells, embryonic and adult. Research and its Potential" to their offering. Stem cells stem cells, unspecialized human or animal cells that can produce mature specialized body cells and at the same time replicate themselves. Embryonic stem cells are derived from a blastocyst (the blastula typical of placental mammals; see embryo), which is very young are primal cells found in all multi-cellular organisms that retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic mitotic pertaining to mitosis. mitotic activity degree to which a cell population is proliferating; used as an index of tumor aggression. cell division and can differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types. As stem cells can be readily grown and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture, their use in medical therapies has been proposed. In particular, embryonic cell lines, autologous autologous /au·tol·o·gous/ (aw-tol´ah-gus) related to self; belonging to the same organism. au·tol·o·gous adj. 1. embryonic stem cells generated through therapeutic cloning therapeutic cloning n. A procedure in which damaged tissues or organs are repaired or replaced with genetically identical cells that originate from undifferentiated stem cells. , and highly plastic adult stem cells from the umbilical cord blood umbilical cord blood Transplantation A source of primitive and stem cells that can be used to reconstitute BM destroyed by aplastic anemia or by RT or chemotherapy for CA, lymphoproliferative malignancies. See Bone marrow transplantation, Stem cell therapy. or bone marrow are touted as promising candidates. There exists a widespread controversy over stem cell research that emanates from the techniques used in the creation and usage of stem cells. Human embryonic stem cell research is particularly controversial because, with the present state of technology, starting a stem cell line A stem cell line is a family of constantly-dividing cells, the product of a single parent group of stem cells. They are obtained from human or animal tissues and can replicate for long periods of time in vitro ("within glass"; or, commonly, "in the lab", in an artificial requires the destruction of a human embryo and/or therapeutic cloning. This is an entire in-depth study of a very niche subject in the wide field of stem cells - Stem Cell Research and its Potential. The report looks at the various types of stem cells which exist and the different benefits each of them offer. The much-talked about embryonic stem cell research and adult stem cell research is discussed in-depth in the report. A separate section covers all the medical uses of stem cell research as well as exploring the potential of stem cell research and therapies. Challenges, barriers, benefits of stem cells, a look at the global approach to stem cell research, and an analysis of the leading players in this industry are what make this report a must-have! Areas covered: - Looking into Stem Cell Research - Potential of Stem Cell Research & Therapies - Benefits of Stem Cell Therapies - Barriers & Challenges in Stem Cell Research - Stem Cell in Medical Use - Global Approach to Human Stem Cell Research - Industry Outlook - Leading Players in Stem Cell Research - Appendix - Glossary of Terms For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c57126 |
