What are R3 stem cells and what do they do Dr David Greene Arizona

In this ppt , Dr. David Greene Arizona discusses what R3 stem cells are and what they can do. He explains that R3 stem cells are a type of adult stem cell that can be used for stem cell therapy. He says that these cells are found in the bone marrow and are very versatile. He says that they can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.

  1. What are R3 stem cells and what do they do | Dr David Greene Arizona

  2. What are stem cells? Stem cells are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated.

  3. Why is there such an interest in stem cells? People who might benefit from stem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease,

  4. Where do stem cells come from? Embryonic stem cells. These stem cells come from embryos that are 3 to 5 days old. At this stage, an embryo is called a blastocyst and has about 150 cells.

  5. Why is there a controversy about using embryonic stem cells? Embryonic stem cells are obtained from early-stage embryos — a group of cells that forms when eggs are fertilized with sperm at an in vitro fertilization clinic.

  6. Where do these embryos come from? The embryos being used in embryonic stem cell research come from eggs that were fertilized at in vitro fertilization clinics but never implanted in women's uteruses.

  7. What are stem cell lines and why do researchers want to use them? A stem cell line is a group of cells that all descend from a single original stem cell and are grown in a lab.
