GE7-AJ Topic Report 2

These are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types.

• Somatic cell

• Stem cell

• Eukaryotic cell

• Embryonic stem cell

Type of cell that can turn into more than one type of cell.

• Adult stem cell

• Embryonic stem cell

• Somatic cell

• Induced stem cell

It involves altering the genes inside your body’s cell in an effort to treat or stop disease.

• Stem cell-based therapy

• Gene therapy

• Cell therapy

• Embryonic stem cell therapy

A type of stem cell that comes from fully developed tissues such as brain, skin, and bone marrow.

• Induced pluripotent stem cell

• Embryonic stem cell

• Adult stem cell

• Somatic cell

Cells that can range from muscle cells to brain cells

• Plant cell

• Somatic cell

• Stem cell

• Adult stem cell

These are adult stem cells that have been changed in a lab to be more like embryonic stem cells.

• Induced pluripotent stem cells

• Somatic cell

• Reduced pluripotent stem cells

• Stem cell

The code that control much of your body’s form and function.

• RBC

• DNA

• mRNA

• WBC

It replaces a faulty gene or adds a new gene in an attempt to cure disease or improve your body’s ability to fight disease.

• Gene therapy

• Cell therapy

• Stem cell-based therapy

• Somatic cells therapy

They have the ability to self-renew, which means that the need to provide repeated administrations to gene therapy can be reduced or possibly even eliminated.

• . Stem cells

• Somatic cells

• Virus

• Neural stem cells

They are an ideal choice stem cell therapy because they can easily be removed from the blood, bone marrow or umbilical cord.

• Somatic cells

• Neural stem cells

• Myoblast

• Hematopoietic stem cells
