Stem cell tisue final version
This document discusses stem cell tissue and research. It defines adult stem cells as multipotent cells that can differentiate into a limited number of cell types and function to renew and repair tissues. The document outlines potential benefits of stem cell research, such as using a patient's own stem cells to create transplant tissues and treat diseases like cancer, birth defects, Parkinson's, and heart disease. It also notes that scientists have grown heart valve cells from bone marrow stem cells, representing progress toward creating whole functioning hearts. However, many unanswered questions remain about stem cell types and locations.
Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells can be found in many tissues and organs, including bone marrow, brain, blood vessels, and skin. Scientists identify adult stem cells by labeling them with molecular markers and observing what cell types they generate. Adult stem cells have been harvested since the 1960s to treat diseases like leukemia. The harvesting process begins with a donor providing blood that is then processed to extract stem cells, typically through a procedure called apheresis that separates stem cells from other blood components. Stem cell transplants are used for cancer treatment, and can be autologous, using the patient's own stem cells, or allogeneic, using donor stem cells.
Stem Cell Research
Stem cells can become any cell type in the body and may help cure diseases like diabetes and sickle cell anemia. Early research harvested stem cells from embryos, killing the potential child, but scientists have since developed methods using skin cells, introducing viruses to change them into stem cells which could cause cancer. Recent research removed cancer-causing genes when testing stem cells on mice with sickle cell anemia, curing them without cancer developing. Ethical debates remain around using embryonic stem cells or risking cancer from other methods.
Stem Cell Research
Stem cell research involves two main types of stem cells - embryonic stem cells found in embryos and induced pluripotent stem cells created by reprogramming adult cells. The document outlines key researchers in the field including Leroy Stevens who discovered stem cells and Shinya Yamanaka who discovered induced pluripotent stem cells. It discusses the pros and cons of each type of stem cell and potential applications to treat diseases like Alzheimer's, heart disease, and diabetes. The document concludes by recommending increased focus on induced pluripotent stem cells to avoid ethical debates and pushing for more funding and research efforts going forward.
Stem Cell Research
There are different types of stem cells that can be classified based on their origin and abilities. Embryonic stem cells are the earliest type found in embryos that can become any cell type but carry risks. Adult stem cells are tissue-specific and found in organs to repair and replace cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells are adult cells reprogrammed to be like embryonic stem cells. Rigorous testing through clinical trials is required to translate stem cell research into safe and effective medical treatments.

Stem cells
Stem cells have the unique ability to both self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types. This allows stem cells to play an important role in normal development and tissue repair. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells which are pluripotent and can become any cell type, and adult stem cells which are multipotent and usually form cell types of their tissue of origin. Stem cell therapies show promise for treating diseases by replacing damaged cells, though many applications are still experimental. Ethical debates surround the use of embryonic stem cells due to their source as human embryos.
Stem cells
Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, sometimes after long periods of inactivity.
Stem cell therapy is the most advance therapy which use stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition.
Properties, types and uses of stem cells are summarized in this presentation.
Adult stem cells emily block 3
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in the body after development that have the abilities of self-renewal and multipotency. They are mostly found in blood and bone marrow and can be used to treat degenerative diseases, autoimmune disorders, injuries, and cosmetic conditions. A stem cell transplant for leukemia involves finding a donor, extracting their stem cells, clearing the recipient's body of cancerous cells through chemotherapy or radiation, and transplanting the donor's healthy stem cells to repopulate the recipient's blood and immune system.
Regenerative medicine
Humans are unable to regenerate limbs or organs like some animals, such as snails regrowing their heads. This is because humans lose the ability to regenerate tissues after early development, unlike animals with stem cells that can regenerate entire bodies. Planaria flatworms can regenerate any body part using stem cells to replace missing tissues. Scientists are researching how to activate human stem cells to regenerate limbs and organs, with some success regrowing muscles in injured soldiers.
Ethics/Biomedical Research Stem Cells
Team A presented to the Bioethics Committee at Northwestern University on stem cell research. The presentation covered the history and current state of stem cell research, potential medical and environmental benefits, and some of the ethical issues associated with stem cell research including consent and the societal impacts. The future of medicine may be transformed by stem cell research which could potentially be used to repair damaged tissues and treat many diseases. Northwestern University must obtain stem cells for research with extreme integrity and protect donor interests to reassure the public and enable participation despite ethical concerns.

Stem cells have the potential to develop into many different cell types and can serve as an internal repair system. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are pluripotent and derived from embryos, and adult stem cells, which are multipotent and found in adult tissues. While embryonic stem cells are important for research due to their pluripotency, both types hold promise for regenerative medicine and treatments for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and spinal cord injuries. However, more research is still needed to fully realize their clinical potential and address ethical concerns.

Dermama faq on stem cells
Stem cells are the foundation cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. There are several types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Stem cell therapy uses stem cells or their derivatives to replace or repair damaged tissues. Current stem cell therapies include blood stem cell transplants, but challenges remain in isolating the right stem cells, avoiding rejection issues, and ensuring the stem cells integrate properly in the body.

PHI 204 - Therapeutic Cloning
Therapeutic cloning involves extracting embryonic stem cells from cloned embryos to potentially treat diseases. Opponents argue this destroys potential human life, as the embryos would be destroyed. Advocates counter that embryos are just a clump of cells incapable of suffering, so existing people suffering from diseases should take priority. Both sides see human life as sacred but disagree on whether potential or existing life holds more moral weight given existing people's capacity for suffering.
Stem cell Research
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and divide to produce more stem cells. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells which are derived from embryos and are flexible but difficult to differentiate uniformly, and adult stem cells which are found in tissues like bone marrow and umbilical cord and are not immunogenic but limited in quantity. Stem cells have the potential to treat diseases by replacing damaged cells and can be used to study disease development.

AS-U1-2.6 Enzyme action
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. They increase the rate of reactions without being used up. There are two main models that explain how enzymes work - the lock and key model proposes that enzymes have a rigid structure that substrates fit into like a key in a lock, while the induced fit model suggests enzymes undergo a small conformational change upon substrate binding to better fit the substrate.
AS-U1-2.5 Proteins
Proteins are composed of amino acids that are linked together through peptide bonds. There are four levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids. Secondary structure involves hydrogen bonding that causes the chain to fold into structures like alpha helices and beta sheets. Tertiary structure describes the final three-dimensional shape formed by interactions between R groups of the amino acids. Quaternary structure involves interactions between multiple polypeptide subunits.

The document summarizes carbohydrate digestion. It states that salivary amylase in the mouth begins breaking down starch into maltose. In the small intestine, pancreatic amylase further breaks down starch and maltase breaks down maltose into glucose. The small intestine also secretes sucrase and lactase to break down sucrose into glucose and fructose and lactose into glucose and galactose, respectively. Lactose intolerance occurs when people lack sufficient lactase as adults to digest lactose from milk.
AS-U1-2.3 Carbohydrates-disaccharides and polysaccharides
1. The document discusses carbohydrates, specifically monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
2. It explains that disaccharides are formed from a condensation reaction between two monosaccharides, linking them with a glycosidic bond. Common disaccharides include maltose, sucrose, and lactose.
3. Polysaccharides are polymers formed from linked monosaccharides. Examples include starch, which plants store as insoluble granules and can be hydrolyzed into glucose, and cellulose, which provides structural support in plant cells.
AS-U1-2.2 carbohydrates-monosaccharides
1. People who have parts of their small intestines removed due to bowel cancer may experience diarrhea, as the small intestines help absorb water during digestion. Removing part of the small intestines could decrease water absorption.
2. Antacids work by neutralizing excess stomach acid, which helps relieve indigestion. However, reducing stomach acid could impact digestion by decreasing the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats since stomach acid is needed for proper digestion.
3. A test for reducing sugars involves adding a food sample to Benedict's solution and heating the mixture. A color change from blue to green, yellow, brown, or red indicates the presence of reducing sugars like monosaccharides such as glucose,
AS-U1-2.1-Enzymes and the digestive system
The document discusses the structure and function of the digestive system. It describes the major organs involved, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine. It explains that both physical and chemical digestion break down large food molecules into smaller absorbable ones. Chemical digestion involves enzymes that are produced in various glands and organs that break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats through the process of hydrolysis.
B2-3.5 making use of enzymes
The document discusses the use of enzymes in industry and medicine. It explains that proteases and lipases in biological detergents help remove stubborn stains, saving consumers money. Proteases are added to baby foods to predigest them. Carbohydrases break down starch into glucose, providing a cheap source of glucose syrup. Isomerase converts glucose to fructose, which is used in slimming foods. The document also notes enzymes are used to diagnose, control, and cure diseases in medicine.
B2-3.4 speeding up digestion
The document discusses how the digestive system breaks down food molecules through the action of enzymes. It explains that the stomach produces hydrochloric acid which creates an optimal pH for protease enzymes to break down proteins. Bile is produced in the liver and neutralizes stomach acid, creating alkaline conditions preferred by pancreatic and intestinal enzymes to digest fats and other molecules. The role of bile in emulsifying fat globules, increasing their surface area for lipase enzymes to work, is also described.
B2-3.3 enzymes in digestion
The document discusses the role of enzymes in the digestive system. It describes the main organs of the digestive system and explains how digestive enzymes break down large insoluble molecules of food, such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, into smaller soluble molecules. Specifically, it states that carbohydrates are broken down into sugars by carbohydrase enzymes, proteins into amino acids by protease enzymes, and lipids into fatty acids and glycerol by lipase enzymes.
B2-3.2 factors affecting enzyme action
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body. They are made of proteins and have a specific 3D shape that allows only certain substrate molecules to bind to their active site. This locks the substrate in place and facilitates a reaction without using up the enzyme. For example, the enzyme catalase speeds up the breakdown of toxic hydrogen peroxide into harmless oxygen and water molecules.
BTEC 4C: Infectious diseases and vaccines
The document discusses infectious diseases and how vaccination can prevent them. It defines a pathogen as a microorganism that causes disease and lists bacteria and viruses as examples. It describes how bacteria and viruses can enter the body and cause infectious diseases. It then explains how vaccinations work by exposing the body to inactive or dead forms of pathogens to allow the immune system to develop antibodies and memory cells to quickly fight off future infections without causing illness.
B2.14 enzyme action
This document discusses enzymes and the "lock and key" hypothesis of how they work. It explains that enzymes have a specific 3D shape and active site that allows substrate molecules to bind. Once bound, enzymes catalyze reactions by breaking or forming bonds in the substrate. This changes the substrate into product molecules, which are then released. The activity of enzymes can be affected by factors like temperature and pH that can cause their shapes to denature.
B2.12 enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze chemical reactions in the body without being used up in the process. They are specific to different reactions and play roles both inside and outside of cells. Enzymes inside cells help with digestion and cellular processes, while enzymes outside cells aid in processes like digestion in microorganisms and the breakdown of stains in biological detergents.
B2.11 mutations
The document discusses mutations at the genetic level. It begins by defining a mutation as "a change in the sequence of DNA bases." It then provides the example of congenital hypertrichosis, where individuals are completely covered in hair except for the hands and feet, and there is no cure. The document instructs students to research another example of a genetic mutation for homework. It emphasizes that mutations can be harmful or beneficial to organisms.
B2.10 proteins
Transcription and translation are two processes that make proteins from DNA. During transcription, mRNA is made from DNA in the nucleus. The DNA unzips and one strand acts as a template for mRNA. During translation, mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The ribosome decodes the mRNA codon by codon and tRNA brings the corresponding amino acid, forming a polypeptide chain. The chain folds into the unique 3D structure of a protein.
B2.8 cloning
This document discusses cloning and provides information about:
- Cloning involves asexual reproduction and how plant cuttings can be cloned.
- The process of cloning mammals, which involves transferring the nucleus of a donor cell into an enucleated egg cell, stimulating mitosis, and implanting the embryo into a surrogate mother.
- Dolly the sheep was the first cloned mammal but it took many attempts and Dolly died relatively young.
B2.7 mitosis and meiosis
Mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell and results in growth and repair of the body. Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells that are not identical to the parent cell and is required for sexual reproduction to make gametes like eggs and sperm.
B2.6 genetic engineering
Genetic engineering allows scientists to remove a gene from one organism and insert it into the DNA of another organism. This process can be used for genetic engineering. For example, the gene that makes jellyfish glow in the dark has been used in genetic engineering. The document then provides background information on genetic engineering and examples of how it is used.
B2.5 dna discovery
The document provides information about DNA discovery and the Human Genome Project. It discusses the roles of James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins in discovering the structure of DNA. It describes the Human Genome Project, which sequenced the entire human genome, and some ways its findings have been applied. It also addresses some ethical issues raised by the project. The document includes questions for students to answer about DNA, cells, and the roles of scientists in DNA discovery.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

- 8. Embryonic stem cells kill innocent embryos. This is murder. Stem cells are thought to hold huge potential for treating a wide range of disease and disabilities. Many believe that the use of embryonic stem cells, taken from aborted embryos is unethical, because they view the embryos just as they’d view fully developed human corpses. There is a risk of rejection if stem cells are taken from one person and put into another. "If someone is going to have an abortion, isn’t it better that we use it for something useful?" Stem cell therapy could treat Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and spinal cord damage. Many embryonic stem cells come from aborted embryos or from spare embryos in fertility treatment. Stem cells may also provide a useful way to test the effects of experimental drugs.
