Researchers have found that formaldehyde and asbestos can alter DNA base sequences. Based on this research, the use of these chemicals has been greatly reduced because they

are capable of causing mutations in humans

may act as fertilizers, increased the growth of algae

have been replaced by more toxic chemicals

interfere with the production of antibiotics by white blood cells

Recently, a human esophagus was produced by using a patient's own stem cells. The benefit of using the patient's own cells to produce a esophagus instead of receiving one from a donor is that

there is less of a change that the patient's immune system will attack it

there will be more enzymes produced to help maintain homeostasis

there will be an increase in the quantity of antibodies that the patient produces in response to the new organ

there will be a greater response to any infectious agent that may enter the body
