Stem Cell Research Derived From Clinical Trials:
During the history of medicine removal of diseased tissue was the only option. As a greater understanding of how the body functions was obtained it led to synthetic replacements and implants being used to help with this loss. As people are now living longer there has become a need for replacement of tissues due to the wear and the limited life-span of the implants. Using more biological approaches would seem to be more practical. We could achieve this by using stem cells to regenerate the organs and tissues damaged or lost. The biggest leap this would make would be that the properties of a living tissue could adapt with physiological and environmental cues which is a major factor in why implants fail. Stem cells can also help to advance the treatment with cardiovascular disease. As of now 62 million people in the US have some form of cardiovascular disease, including: coronary heart disease, stroke, and high blood......
