Newschoolers: to the rescue? please?

fuck hw in senior year

yeah tell me about it.
unfortunately, it has to get done.

Recently adult cells were succesfully turned into almost identical stem cells, it was all over the newspapers and the news, i'll see if I can find the study.

here it is

I would actually probably be a lot of help here... if I didnt have a paper of my own to write on folklore due at 12. And no, I dont think trading assignments would work.

Heres my advice. If you want to write a balls out 5 star paper, go to wikipedia. Learn the way stem cell research works and how its achieved through that. Then, go find your references, through google and the links that wiki provides at the bottom of the article pages. If you want to add some grade A flourish, go to pubmed (google it) and snag a recent journal about stem cell stuff. If you're an accomplished reader and want to try this, read it and see if you can make sense of it, and add a summary of the 'results' to your paper as a little 'future work' paragraph. You can also hit up CNN's web page for any recent news stories.

I'd give your teacher the big fuck you and demand an extension. If you informed your teachers of your vacation and they gave you their "blessing" to go then its completely his fault for not giving you ample time to prepare and complete the assignment.

Stem cells are cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Research in the stem cell field grew out of findings by Canadian scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till in the 1960s.[1][2]

The two broad types of mammalian stem cells are: embryonic stem cells that are found in blastocysts, and adult stem cells that are are found in adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialized embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells, but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin or intestinal tissues.

As stem cells can be grown and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture, their use in medical therapies has been proposed. In particular, embryonic cell lines, autologous embryonic stem cells generated through therapeutic cloning, and highly plastic adult stem cells from the umbilical cord blood or bone marrow are touted as promising candidates.

thanks a lot man. that was my plan pretty much, but you suggested some extra stuff that i will use.
and to ^^, thank you as well. i havent checked the article out yet, but i will in a second.
great responses, if anyone else has help it would be appreciated.

solid article. definitely going to use it.

look for articles at nytimes.com  if you make an account you have access to all the archives from something like the last 30 years.
