Definition of Stem Cell Line
A group of cells that all descend from a single original stem cell
People Who Might Benefit From Stem Cell Therapies
Spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, amyothoprhic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimers disease, heart disease, stroke, burns, cancer and osteoartheritis
The Difference Between Adult Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells
Adult stem cells are found in adults and embryonic stem cells are found in embryos
Function Of Stem Cells For Regenerative Medicine
Promotes the repair response of diseased dysfunctional or injured tissues
Why can't specialists use Adult Stem Cells only?
Adult stem cells can include damage and toxins

Explain The Superiority Of Stem Cell Organ Transplant Compared To Traditional Organ Transplant
Organ donors are limited and are only compatible with specific qualifications and complicative factors
Why can't specialists use Adult Stem Cells only?
Adult stem cells can include damage and toxins
Procedure For Therapeutic Cloning
The nucleus of an unfertilized egg is removed and combined with the nucleus of the cell of a donor
Ethics Of Embryonic Stem Cell Extraction
Disturbing an embryo and risking its development
