For intensification to take place, cells are the most fundamental for the process of growth to take place. Stem cells are believed to have potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In some situations, they are believed to serve internal repair system as well as dividing fundamentally without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or on the other hand the animal is still living. Stem cells are different from other cells since when a stem cell divides, each new cell is capable to remain a stem cell or become a different type of cell with a specific specialized function like red blood cell, the brain cell or even a muscle cell.
Different from other cells stem cells have their uniqueness which make them feasible to be distinguished from other cells it`s due to, two fundamental distinctiveness. For one they are special in a manner that they are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division even after a long time of inactivity (Viegas, 2003). Exclusivity of the stem cells is the fact that when they are in experimental conditions, they can be stimulated to become tissue or on the other hand become specific cells but with extraordinary purpose. Stem cells are fundamental in some organs like bone marrow and gut since they are useful in repairing and replacing worn out and the damaged tissues but this do not happen to all organs since in organs like the pancreas and the heart, they are believed to divide under specific conditions.
Scientists are special personnel`s in the universe as they come up with sole things every time a research is done. In recent research, it have been discovered that stem cells can be derived from human embryos and them be taken to the laboratory where growth takes place. The cells used in these studies are special cells created for reproductive purposes through in vitro fertilization procedures.
Stem cells are crucial for living organisms for several reasons. The blastocyst which are three to five days embryo, their inner cells give rise to the entire body of the organism as well to the sperm eggs, lungs, skin, heart and other tissues in the body. The stem cell are believed to act as replacement cells but this only happen in adult tissues like the brain, bone marrow and muscle of the adult tissues while the discrete population of adult stem cells generate the replacements of the lost cells through the normal wear and tear or even at the time of diseases.
Stem cells are not only special for their ability of changing but when they are given unique regenerative aptitudes; they offer new potentialities for treating diseases such as heart diseases and diabetes which have become the worlds plague. Though this process is happening, much work remains to be done indoors in the laboratories and clinics to in order to understand how this cells are used and more so the use of cell for cell-based therapies to treat disease, which on the other hand is referred to as regenerative or reparative medicine.
Laboratories have become crucial mechanisms been used by scientist since they use them as their engine which enables them to learn more about the cells each an ever...
