<span> Embryonic stem cell research is kind of a dead area now since there is no way to control the differentiation. Most research is being done on adult stem cells to help map and control the differentiation process.
Stem-cells from aborted fetuses - The government doesn't sponsor this, if it is done it is by private companies not located in the USA. You could try researching umbilical cord stem cells to be somewhere near your topic. They come from the afterbirth of normal deliveries.
You could do a much easier report by covering cloning of mice through stem-cell technology. It is happening and helping scientists understand diseases. </span>
OK so the answer you are looking for is most likely going to be inter phase because that is what most cells spend their time in.
<span>A cell can only grow so large in size because its
ability to exchange materials is affected by a growing surface-to-volume ratio.
Nature designed cells to be small in size because of the network of membranes
passing through it. If cells grow any bigger, membranes in it will not be able
to pass through its different parts and perform their purpose.
A cell is a network composed of many organelles (e.g. mitochondria, nucleus),
that communicate and work together to provide bodily functions. The cell is
small so that communication between organelles will be faster and much easier. When
cells are small they can be easily repaired when damaged and replicated when
needed.</span>
