Embryonic Stem cells

Introduction Stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in multicellular organisms that can grow by mitosis and produce specialized cells that differentiate into more stem cells or different organs and tissues. In scientific research, stem cells have been acquired and developed from various origins such as: Inner wall of the stomach, gastrointestinal tract, special cells of the lung, mesoderm (further differentiation into special cells of the muscles)

In the field of stem cell research embryos and adult stem cells are often compared. The controversial use of embryonic stem cells is supported on the basis of their many advantages on adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are more readily available; they have greater cell proliferation, also known as proliferation, ability; and they are more versatile. Blastocyst stem cells are isolated from the embryo during the blastocyst stage and this process destroys the structure of the embryo to the extent that the embryo can no longer grow. These stem cells are more readily available than adult stem cells because they are obtained when the inner cell mass is concentrated in the embryo and the number of adult stem cells is limited. Another beneficial advantage of embryonic stem cells is their ability to grow and grow indefinitely when cultured under appropriate conditions (Devolder 9)

There are three types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, artificial pluripotent stem cells (iPS). The most famous type of stem cells are embryonic stem cells. This is due to the extensive coverage of such stem cells by the media and the many judiciary laws developed based on their use. Because they are the most flexible stem cell types, they are also popular among researchers. Unlike their more mature counterparts, they have the ability to regenerate all types of cells. Embryonic stem cells are found in two areas: umbilical cord and embryo. Embryonic stem cells are found in blood taken from umbilical cord immediately after birth. It contains hematopoietic stem cells that can be used to produce erythrocytes; among other things. There are also mesenchymal stem cells that can be used to grow muscle and bones. Hematopoietic cells are used for the treatment of blood related diseases such as autoimmune diseases and leukemia

Philip H. Coelho: Let's look at three stem cell sources of embryonic stem cells, adult bone marrow stem cells, newborn umbilical cord blood stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have a theoretical advantage: they can be all different tissues of the body, and they can provide cell division to them throughout their life. However, because they may cause malignancies in animals, researchers are cautious about recent clinical trials using embryonic stem cells.
