First and Last Name *
There are two types of human skin cells:  embryonic and adult.  Contrast these two types of cells, what are some differences between them? *
Stem cell research appears to be very promising and yet very controversial.  List some diseases that researchers hope to cure with stem cells and explain why the research is so controversial. *
Describe the treatment that was developed to help Blayke and Garrett.  How did it work and why is this use of stem cells less controversial? *
Using the diagram labeled 1-6 (split between two pages), outline the process by which stem cells differentiate (develop into specific cell types). *
This article was written over 10 years ago.  Since then, the development of new scientific techniques and the lifting of many restrictions have opened the way for a flood of discoveries involving adult stem cells.  Embryonic stem cells, however, still have the most potential and new discoveries are helping us better use them.  Scan the article at this address:  http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140127092934.htm  (copy and paste into the address bar in a different window) and summarize the importance of this recent discovery. *
