EMBRYONIC & ADULT STEM CELLS

-
Donor age does not likely to influence the capability of stem cells from adult body tissues, latest studies report. The analysis of research on induced pluripotent stem cells proves that not only are typical signs of aging reversed in iPSCs, but cells derived from both older and younger donors show the same potential to differentiate into mature cells. This portrays iPSCs as a viable alternative to embryonic stem cells in regenerative medicine.

Unlike most cells in the body, stem cells develop into different cell types. Their discovery opened the possibility of culturing specific cells to treat damaged tissues, organs, degenerative diseases and genetic diseases.

Stem cells can be derived from two sources: embryos and adult tissues. It was believed that embryonic stem cells are the indispensable source, as these "young" cells have not undergone the same level of cell damage as older cells.

However, embryonic stem cells also have limitations such as ethical concerns, immunological rejection of transplanted tissue derived from ESCs, and limited availability of the donor.

Therefore, it is an unmatchable medicine that has been discovered and there is yet to find out more from the hidden treasure “Stem cells”.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are a critical component of the effort to develop new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancer  and other diseases. "Some people think that clinical trials are the last resort," says Jack Whelan of Andover, Mass., who was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007. "I am a survivor of a rare not-yet-curable cancer. Forward-looking science, what is available in clinical trials, was the best choice for me." For researchers and clinicians, trials are critical to determining the potential benefits and safety of investigational cancer therapies  or for understanding if an existing medication could be useful for other types of cancer . Clinical trials are the last step before treatments are made widely available. They come after the completion of basic lab research and testing. Clinical testing in patients is key to understanding how a particular therapy will perform and what kinds of side effects may occur. Clinical tr

Solar Greenhouse

A greenhouse  is a structure secured with a transparent material (glass or plastic) that goes about as a solar gatherer and uses solar brilliant energy to develop plants. It has heating, cooling and ventilating gadgets  for controlling the temperature inside the greenhouse. Solar radiations can go through the greenhouse coating, yet the warm radiations produced by the items inside the greenhouse can't escape through the coated surface. Subsequently, the radiations  get caught inside the greenhouse and result in an expansion in temperature. As the greenhouse structure has a shut limit, the air inside the green­house gets advanced with CO2 as there is no blending of the greenhouse air  with the encompassing air. Further, there is diminished dampness misfortune because of limited tran­spiration. Every one of these highlights helps to maintain plant development for the duration of the day and additionally amid the night and throughout the entire year. To know more: ht

Tuberculosis infection and vaccination

-
Image
Tuberculosis is generally caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis  which affects the lungs and sometimes affects the other parts of the body. This acts as an infectious disease as about 1% of the world population is affected by this infection every year. They are chronic cough with blood containing sputum, night sweats, weight loss, and fever. When the infection is spread to other organs it may cause a serious impact. Tuberculosis acts as a communicable disease which spread through the air. People with infection  in lungs spread infection through a cough, spit, speak and sneeze. These are mainly found in the people who are infected with HIV AIDS and those who smoke. Deduction and treatment must be done in the early period based on the X-ray and microscopic examination of the body fluids. They can be divided into pulmonary  and extrapulmonary . Pulmonary infection is where the disease spread inside the lungs which causes a cough with blood in some ext
