what do you know about stem cell research? any programmes where you are??

Answers:
Stem Cells are blank or generic cells that have not specialised. By manipulating such cells they can be led to specialise and can have an important replacement for tissue or a regeneration effect. There are two basic sources of such stems cells:1. Foetal--from aborted babies. This is a good source but is full of ethical issues2. Adult--certain cells can be developed from adult tissue. This is much less controversialThis technology promises a range of treatments for illnesses that have plagued mankind.

Nothing. No. Only stems I know of here come from mushrooms.

I don't know about that, but i know my husband's life was saved by cloning HGH and by stem cell research. He has diabetes insipidus(water diabetes) and a thyroid condition caused by a brain tumor. Without the research, he'd have died.

stem cell research is all about taking cells for furture purpose. For treatment of diseases like bone marrow cancer

stem cells are non-specialized cells (everyone has this) which, by precise control by our body's control mechanisms can become any cell (e.g. skin cells, liver cells, blood cells). Embryonic stem cells (stem cells which are obtained from embryos=undeveloped fetuses) are the ones of considerable interest for researchers because these stem cells are capable of generating entire organs (though not yet proven)
