Stem Cell – Definition
• A cell that has the ability to continuously divide and differentiate (develop) into various other kind(s) of cells/tissues
![Page 5: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stem Cell Characteristics
• ‘Blank cells’ (unspecialized)
• Capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods of time (proliferation and renewal)
• Have the potential to give rise to specialized cell types (differentiation)

Kinds of Stem CellsKinds of Stem CellsEmbryonic stem cells • five to six-day-old embryo• Tabula rasa
Embryonic germ cells • derived from the part of a human embryo or fetus
that will eventually produce eggs or sperm (gametes).
Adult stem cells • undifferentiated cells found among specialized or
differentiated cells in a tissue or organ after birth• appear to have a more restricted ability to produce
different cell types and to self-renew.

Pluripotent Stem Cells –more potential to become any
type of cell
![Page 10: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Adult Stem CellsAn undifferentiated cells found among specialized or differentiated cells in a tissue or organ after birth
![Page 16: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Bone Marrow
• Found in spongy bone where blood cells form• Used to replace damaged or destroyed bone
marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells.• treat patients diagnosed with leukemia, aplastic
anemia, and lymphomas• Need a greater histological immunocompatibility
![Page 18: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Umbilical cord stem cells
• Also Known as Wharton’s Jelly• Adult stem cells of infant origin• Less invasive than bone marrow• Greater compatibility• Less expensive
![Page 20: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Umbilical cord stem cellsThree important functions:
1. Plasticity: Potential to change into other cell types like nerve cells
2. Homing: To travel to the site of tissue damage
3. Engraftment: To unite with other tissues

Heart Disease• Adult bone marrow stem cells
injected into the hearts are believed to improve cardiac function in victims of heart failure or heart attack

Leukemia and Cancer
• Studies show leukemia patients treated with stem cells emerge free of disease.
• Injections of stem cells have also reduces pancreatic cancers in some patients.
Proliferation of white cells

Rheumatoid Arthritis• Adult Stem Cells may be helpful in
jumpstarting repair of eroded cartilage.

Type I Diabetes• Pancreatic cells do not produce
insulin• Embryonic Stems Cells might be
trained to become pancreatic islets cells needed to secrete insulin.

new research – reprogramming cells
![Page 31: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Technical Challenges
• Source - Cell lines may have mutations.
• Delivery to target areas
• Prevention of rejection
• Suppressing tumors

Problems with Adult Stem Cells

Why is Stem Cell Research So Important to All of Us?
Stem cells can replace diseased or damaged cells
Stem cells allow us to study development and genetics
Stem cells can be used to test different substances (drugs and chemicals)
![Page 34: Stem cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062706/557c3658d8b42a28208b490b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Why the Controversy Over Stem cells?• Embryonic Stem cells are derived from extra
blastocysts that would otherwise be discarded following IVF.
• Extracting stem cells destroys the developing blastocyst (embryo).
-Questions for Consideration-• Is an embryo a person?• Is it morally acceptable to use embryos for
research?• When do we become “human beings?”
