Stem Cell Research
Even though embryonic stem cell research is in the early stages of development, many experiments are moving swiftly and efficiently towards the idea of using the embryonic stem cells for any type of cell in the body. For instance, if one was to be suffering from lung cancer, the embryonic stem cells could be used to create lung tissue cells, which would be injected into the lung, causing more tissue to be produced. Because the embryonic stem cell can be any type of cell that it is designated to be, and will continue to regenerate indefinitely, it will easily move into the organ, lung in this case, and without the possibility of being rejected, perform it’ s function in that organ. The way that this is carried out is that one would take the embryonic stem cells out of an approximately four-day-old embryo. After the embryonic stem cells have been separated, each is placed into a petri dish, in which they would become whatever type of cell that is in the dish with the embryonic stem cells, and regenerate into that type of cell to perform that function in the body. In the experiment researched, dealing with a rat’s crushed spinal cord, the embryonic stem cells were pretreated with retinoic acid and injected
