The laboratories have initiated Phase 1 clinical trials for the use of human pluripotent embryonic stem cells to treat paralyzed patients following spinal cord injury. The first step is to estimate the risks and tolerance of cell transplantation in a man. The fate of stem cells (multipotent or pluripotent) in the body is still poorly understood, and it is not excluded that uncontrolled cell multiplications occur, leading to the appearance of teratomas (tumor developed from pluripotent cells).

Advantages are:

* The safety of the cells also seems to be proven (in short term)

* Rats transplanted seven days after the injury had benefited from reactivation of myelinization of neurons by oligodendrocytes, attenuation of motor neuron loss and improvement of limb motor function.

The disadvantages are:

* Constraints of the ethical and religious order, it is necessary the consent and the approval of the donor and the recipient for the transplant to take place.

* The development of the technique is still new, there is a chance that side effects of the transplant appear years after the operation.

The basic building block of matter
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Scientists once thought the most fundamental building block of matter was a particle called the atom. Now we know that the atom is made of many smaller pieces, known as subatomic particles. Every atom contains a central core called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons.
