This card summarizes issues with stem cells, including moral objections, limitations of umbilical and adult stem cells, and the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and plant stem cells.
Tato karta shrnuje problémy související s kmenovými buňkami, včetně nábožensko-morálních námitek, omezení umbilikálních a dospělých kmenových buněk a potenciálu indukovaných pluripotentních kmenových buněk (iPSC) a rostlinných kmenových buněk.
| Front | Problems with stem cells 2.1.6(j) |
|---|---|
| Back | Religious/moral objections preventing progress in treating incurable diseases - umbilical stem cells help but are multipotent (not as useful as stem cells which are pluripotent) - adult stem cells don’t divide as well as umbilical and have increased chance of mutation , but can be induced only induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC, adult stem cells genetically modified to act like embryonic) - plants stem cells don’t have same issues |
