Stem Cells

2. pluripotent stem cells from a 3-5 day old embryo
4. a group of stem cells that is cultured invitro and descends from a single stem cell
5. a spongy tissue in the middle of some bones that can transform into various types of blood cells
8. adult stem cells that have been genetically modified to behave like an embryonic stem cell
10. a stem cell that can develop into any cell type
12. A disorder or abnormality of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant
15. adapted to a specific job or environment
16. - making embryonic stem cells for replacing or fixing damaged tissues or organs
17. the method of reverting specialized cells into induced pluripotent stem cells
19. a stem cell that is able to become several different types of cells
20. undifferentiated cells located throughout the body after birth/maturing

1. A classification of research study that tests how well new medical methods work in humans
3. a 5-6 day old fertilized egg and a rapidly splitting clump of cells
6. pluripotent stem cells from umbilical cord blood
7. insulin-making cells in the islets of Langerhans
9. a cell that can turn into a limited number of multiple cell types
11. blood-forming stem cells that can restore themselves and differentiate into other cell types
13. - An immature cell that can make other mature cells with specific functions
14. a medical process where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside of the body
15. The use of stem cells to treat or avoid a disease or condition
18. a harmful progressive disease where the bone marrow and other blood-producing organs make greater numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes. These inhibit the creation of normal blood cells, leading to anemia and other symptoms.
