Stem Cells part 11




Laboratory studies of stem cells enable scientists to learn about the cells essential properties and what makes them different from specialized cell types.  Scientists are already using stem cells in the laboratory to screen new drugs and to develop model systems  to study normal growth and identify the causes of birth defects. Research on stem cells continues to advance knowledge about how an organism develop from a single cell and how healthy  cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. Stem cell research is one of the most  fascinating areas of contemporary biology, but, as with many expanding fields of scientific inquiry, research on stem cells raises scientific questions as rapidly as it generates  new discoveries. Over the past year, adult stem cells have been used either exclusively or in combination with other treatments to achieve significant "healthcare benefits" for sufferers of the every tissue of human body.
