The world is experiencing a change as the medical field advances day by day. Not only scientists, but doctors are also discovering cures for diseases and shortcuts that are leaving the world in complete and utter shock. A growing topic is stem cell research and related therapies. Stem cells represent an incredible discovery in the medical field due to their inexplicable capabilities. For all we know, in about ten years these microscopic “lifesavers” could be the cure for the world's deadliest diseases. Right now these cells are used as variables in experiments that involve repairing damaged tissues and organs. Experts are convinced that stem cells could be injected into some organs that have suffered severe trauma and bring them back to a normal condition. Stem cells are shaping and defining ethics with miraculous capabilities to be used in various therapies in the medical field. Stem cells have been used for years right before our eyes in a therapy known as bone marrow transplant. Bone marrow transplant (BMT), also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), is used in hematology and oncology and allows the insertion of hematopoietic stem cells (“Bone Marrow Transplant”). In cases of immune and blood diseases such as leukemia, the bone marrow is damaged and must be replaced. Bone marrow transplant solves this problem by replacing the mutilated bone marrow (Amagai). Stem cells have the latency to transform into normal white blood cells when isolated and, in turn, be converted back into healthy bone marrow. These undifferentiated blood cells are not only used in leukemia, but also open up hope in therapies for neuroblastoma... halfway through the article... allow me to think that one day these events could occur, they give me hope. Similar to how they give scientists hope to open up a new realm of possibilities that can only be imagined. Works Cited Amagai, Satoshi. "BioInteractive." Stem cell-based therapies.
