            Seminar 1 on Stem Cells, Discussing the Seminar Presentation

On September 26 and 27, we had a seminar with Jessian Muñoz, a college graduate

student fromNew Jersey Medical School. This experience has opened my mind in

relation to a new aspect of science I did not know quite well, cancer stem cells. How

could cancer stem cells be the primary cause of brain tumors? That question was well

answered by our seminar person of this week, Mr. Jessian Muñoz. Due to his

knowledge, we learned about brain tumors, what the starting point is,and about a new

topic, the microRNA. The microRNA was discovered in the human genome project,

whichdemonstrates how science discoveries have made lots of great advances in

benefits of health care. Dysfunction in microRNA signaling is present in all cancers

that have been studied thus far.

There was also the discussion about cancer stem cells (CSC). Cancer stem cells are

the of brain tumors. The problem that we had before was that with chemotherapy, the

cells that were targeted were the ones around the cancer stem cells so the cancer

would normally spread again. What they are trying to do is to suppress the pathway of

the stem cells so that stem cells will become responsive to chemo and radiotherapy.

They are encountering problems with this procedure also as cancer stem cells are

reappearing after therapy. Finding these cancer stem cells implies that this could be

the cure for cancer. Also, stem cells could be applied to different studies, for example

new knowledge has been provided that giving stem cells to a person with diabetes

could help regenerate their pancreatic beta cells.

Jessian’slifelong goals changed during the course of his studies, he went from

wanting to be a pedriatitian to studying a PhD. This demonstrates how it doesn’t

matter how long it will takeor if I change my goals, as long as I persevere it will be all
worth it at the end. I recommendthese types of seminars to anyone who wants to be

more knowledgeable on exciting topics.

Juan Carlos Torres Sánchez 804-11-9230 BIOL 3095 5/18/2012 Seminar 1 on Stem Cells, Discussing the Seminar Presentation On September 26 and 27, we had a seminar with Jessian Muñoz, a college graduate student fromNew Jersey Medical School. This experience has opened my mind in relation to a new aspect of science I did not know quite well, cancer stem cells. How could cancer stem cells be the primary cause of brain tumors? That question was well answered by our seminar person of this week, Mr. Jessian Muñoz. Due to his knowledge, we learned about brain tumors, what the starting point is,and about a new topic, the microRNA. The microRNA was discovered in the human genome project, whichdemonstrates how science discoveries have made lots of great advances in benefits of health care. Dysfunction in microRNA signaling is present in all cancers that have been studied thus far. There was also the discussion about cancer stem cells (CSC). Cancer stem cells are the of brain tumors. The problem that we had before was that with chemotherapy, the cells that were targeted were the ones around the cancer stem cells so the cancer would normally spread again. What they are trying to do is to suppress the pathway of the stem cells so that stem cells will become responsive to chemo and radiotherapy. They are encountering problems with this procedure also as cancer stem cells are reappearing after therapy. Finding these cancer stem cells implies that this could be the cure for cancer. Also, stem cells could be applied to different studies, for example new knowledge has been provided that giving stem cells to a person with diabetes could help regenerate their pancreatic beta cells. Jessian’slifelong goals changed during the course of his studies, he went from wanting to be a pedriatitian to studying a PhD. This demonstrates how it doesn’t matter how long it will takeor if I change my goals, as long as I persevere it will be all
  • 2. worth it at the end. I recommendthese types of seminars to anyone who wants to be more knowledgeable on exciting topics.
