Why is this system promising in curing cancer and genetic diseases? What are some of the limitations?
Please help! Thanks!!
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. There are many biomedical engineering based approaches to detect CSCs.
Question: What kind of systems have been developed to detect CSCs? Describe by giving examples.
Please explain in detail the main findings with your own words.

Donated tissues and organs cannot meet the transplantation demands of aged and diseased populations that have driven the thrust for search for the alternatives. Stem cells are endorsed with indefinite cell division potential, and can [differentiate] into other types of cells. Stem cells pave foundation for all tissue and organ system of the body and mediates diverse role in disease progression, development, and tissue repair processes in host. 18) Which statement, summarized from the excerpt, best supports the claim that stem cells can be used in regenerative therapeutic technology to treat organ failure or congenital disease for a…arrow_forwardHi can you elaborate in detail about the following; thanks.

- Q1. After years of hard work, you have isolated a mutant of glucocorticoid receptor. Additional studies identified that the mutant is capable of binding to glucocorticoid hormone but defective in activating the transcription. Based of this information and your knowledge on glucocorticoid receptor signaling, how do you explain this phenomenon. List and explain all possible reasons for this defect in mutant.arrow_forwardStem cells have the potential to transform into any of the various cell types in the body, and thus researchers have explored how stem cells may be used to treat different conditions. Which conditions benefit most from this treatment? At least 351 companies in the United States are now offering unapproved stem cell procedures at 570 clinics. If you had a serious illness such as Parkinson's disease and found an unregulated clinic that offered to cure your illness using stem cell therapy, would you accept the offer?
