Recently it was pointed out in the news world that a small biotechnical company had created stem cells without also destroying the human embryos or caused inducement of cancer causing genes. These issues have been plaguing researchers and c=scientists for the last few months as they continue to strive for the perfect combination of genes and environments.

This month, an article in the The Guardian, an American based journal was published that may provide hope to millions who suffer from the number one killer worldwide, cardiovascular disease. Recently, it was discovered that human embryonic stem cells, which can be turned into any type of tissue, in this case, brain cells, were utilized. After being injected with growth factors, these cells were reproduced and propagated. This process enabled the cells to form early-stage brain cells called astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. These cells were further examined to ensure that any cancer-causing genes were ‘turned off.’

A recent study has produced an analysis of the benefits of treating immune disorders as well as heart diseases with adult stem cells. The analysis went on to explain that there are two different types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are harvested from embryos several days after fertilization. This method has long been controversial, not only in the United States but around the world. It has been a constant struggle for researchers in this area to receive funding and acceptance. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, are located throughout the human body in adults as well as children and provide an adequate replacement for stem cells for the use in replacing aging or damaged cell tissues.

Because of the outstanding advancements that have been made in stem cell and embryonic stem cell research in the past year, researchers as well as many politicians believe the time has come to change the policy on stem cell research. The advancements in both embryonic and non-embryonic stem cell research have continued to create interesting and favorable results for the future of stem cell research to be created to help regenerate bodies tormented by bone, blood, and organ tissue damage.

While the year is still young, there have been so many advancements in the discovery, uses, and potential treatments derived from adult stem cells. The use of embryonic stem cells in research and development of treatments for diseases has been one that has engendered controversy since its inception. Research focusing on adult stem cells may ultimately be designed to mimic what embryonic stem cells do has helped to relieve concerns as well as provide funding for what used to be morally and ethically unacceptable for many people around the world.
