Skin provides protect for animals from change in temperature, radiation, UV rays from the sun, trauma, and infections, and it allows animals to perceive their environment through their tactile sense. Skin provides a camouflage for animals excluding humans because the skin is utilized as protection against predators and aids as decoration for social and reproductive…

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells of multicellular organisms.  Specifically embryonic stem cell are pluripotent, meaning they can create several different types of cells.  With this new knowledge, biomedical research has ascended to new levels. To get embryonic stem cells biologists first produce via vitro fertilization, which is where an egg and sperm are combined outside…

Stem cells are originally defined in the hematological system, but recently have been found in a multitude of other sites. These cells all share the same features of self-renewal and multipotentiality and different types and therapeutic strategies have been defined with respect to the nervous system In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic…

CFTR is a type of ABC (ATP- binding cassette) transporter.CFTR is composed of 2 main transmembrane segments; each of these segments has 6 transmembrane alpha helices for a total of 12 alpha helices.CFTR facilitates the transport of Chloride ions into and out of the cell. The function of the transmembrane transport mechanism depends on the…

Tissue regeneration approach using stem cells in different clinical settings is a medical sensation now-a-days. Especially Mesenchymal Stem cells have been focused in a plethora of preclinical and clinical experiments over the five decades due to extraordinary capacity in differentiation to multiple lineages, immunomodulation and angigenic properties. The presence of stem cells in the endometrium…

Imagine a world where the average human lived to be 100 years old and was still as active as a 40 year old by today’s standards. The advances in modern science allow this idea to be perceived and almost become implemented in society. As with all research, it takes time as well as repeated experimentation…

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are disorders of the heart and the blood vessels which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and related with 31% global deaths every year.[64] Although pharmacological and interventional treatments are well-established to relief the symptoms and complications (e.g. arrhythmia) to prevent sudden cardiac death, these strategies mainly delay the…

Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are defined as self-renewing and multipotent cells capable of differentiating into multiple cell types, it includes osteocytes, adipocytes, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, neurons, myocytes, and chondrocytes. Originally isolated from bone marrow stroma, MSCs have been recently detected in other tissues, such as epidermis, fat and cord blood. Several approaches are employed to…

Alcohol-induced disorders can be prevented by avoiding alcohol use during pregnancy completely. Currently, no medication or treatment can reverse the symptoms of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. However, with neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation, we can reduce the incidence and severity of this disorder. Evidence suggests that NSCs have the potential to reverse neurogenesis dysfunction observed…

Introduction For many years, researchers have searched for ways to alter human’s genetic makeup. Through genome editing, scientists hope to be able to control the characteristics of the human body, like “editing out” harmful genes that affect genetic diseases. Though several methods of genome editing have been discovered and improved upon, CRISPR-Cas9 is an approach…
