In 1999, cloned human brain cells, made from stem cells, successfully helped laboratory mice infected with human neurological diseases such as Tay-Sachs, a genetic disease that kills young children. But because the original cell was taken from an aborted 15 week old human fetus, there were protests so severe that stem cell research was stalled for ten years. It wasn’t until 2010 until the first baby with brain damage was cured from his own stem cells.

Stem cell research is the most promising line of medical research Read the rest of this entry »

The Ohio Stem Cell Network (OSCN) is a citizen’s group that stands in favor of stem cell research. Group members come from all walks of life and work to promote stem cell research within the state and throughout the country.

The group asserts that stem cell research can alleviate suffering caused by numerous diseases and illnesses, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, birth defects, spinal cord damage and more. OSCN supports advancing research that can lead to cures and treatments of these diseases. The group also promotes using stem cells that Read the rest of this entry »

Stem cell is a generic cell that has the potential to develop into a specialized cell and create copies of its self through cell division. This process is known as differentiation. These cells are extracted from cell clusters called blastocysts that are developed during a process called vitro fertilization that are able to help people with fertility complications.
These cells are sometimes donated after the birth of a baby from the umbilical cord for the Read the rest of this entry »

Human stem cells have the potential to be used in a number of medical treatments, relating to various diseases, injuries and areas of the body. This encompasses some of the most serious conditions such as cancer, brain damage, blindness and spinal cord injury.

Tumor treatment, particularly for those in the brain, has already shown success through gene therapy. Traditional methods are often ineffective due to the rapidity of tumor growth when it reaches the brain. When tested on rodents, stem cells reduced tumor mass by 81% after only a few days.This{{/tag} Read the rest of this entry »

Stem Cell research is happening all over the United States on a daily basis. Just because ‘breakthroughs’ are not announced on a daily basis does not mean people’s lives are not affected and changed by the advances gone unseen. So many families benefit from stem cell research; it gives them hope their loved ones have a fighting chance against diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer and certain injuries. Most research is performed at major U.S. universities. Scientists and researchers Read the rest of this entry »
