A new Agent for Cancer

Cancer is one of the most terrifying sickness that every people would not to wish to have. Having this sickness is just like having a nightmare in a dream which every people want to escape. When you say that you have a cancer it's just not saying that you have an ordinary sickness but it means that you are dying. But not anymore, thanks to the modern technology, yes! because it plays a big role in curing for this kind of sickness. Many machines and even medicines were now invented for fighting this nightmare. And the newest cure for this sickness was the stem cell. I only knew this cure when it was one of the topic of my favorite TV show. Stem cell are cells found in most, if not all, multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiating 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 isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells that 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.
