STEM CELL PROJECT

PART 1: Stem Cell Report (in APA format)

The Types of Stem Cells

Describe, in detail, the significance and the purpose of stem cells.
Describe the major sources of stems cells, Umbilical cord blood stem cells, Embryonic stem cells and Adult stem cells.
Compare and contrast ALL the different types of stem cells (totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, etc). Include pictures!

Stem Cells & Modern Reserach

When, where, and how did stem cell research develop.
How are Umbilical cord blood stem cells, Embryonic stem cells and Adult stem cells extracted and utilized? Include pictures!
What is stem cell transplantation? In detail, step-by-step, describe in-vitro stem cell transplant and nuclear transfer stem cell transplant. Include pictures!
Describe the specific benefits of stem cells research to things like human/animal disease, argicultural/farming, genetics, cancer, cloning, etc.

The Stem Cell Debate

Explain proponent view-points theories related to stem cells use and research.
Explain the opponent view-points theories related to stem cells use and research.
What is your groups’ opinion of stem cell research, stem cell uses and stem cell benefits?

PART 2: Stem Cells in Action (3-D poster/Model)

Create a medical case/scenario that includes a situation or condition that can potentially be treated with stem cell transplantion. The scenario must be accurate and provide specific details of the situation/condition.
Using a poster or project board, create a 3-D outline (meaning build off the board do not just draw on board) detailing how tem cell transplantation can be used to potentially treat the medical condition discussed in the scenario. Be sure to show:
- Stem Cell Source, explaining why this type of stem cell was selected. Be sure to specific if the stem cell is Pluripotent, Totipotent or Multipotent, etc.
- Show and explain specific details/procedure for how the stem cell is extracted from the sources.
- Show and explain specific details/procedure for the stem cell transplantation process.
- Show the final product and Explain how the final produce will resolve this medical condition.
- Must have an APA reference list on the back of the poster or board.
- Must use in-text citations to support explanations.
