INTRODUCTIONS

For centuries scientists have known that some animals can regenerate lost parts of their bodies. We humans also share this characteristic, like the starfish. Although our bodies cannot replicate both a lost leg or finger, blood cells, skin cells or other cells are constantly regenerated in our bodies. The 'almighty' cells that help us regenerate tissue, were first discovered during the process of conducting bone marrow experiments, and in the 1950s led to the discovery of the ^1st ORIGINAL CELL ¹ body; Since then the development of bone marrow transplantation techniques is now widely used in medicine. The discovery of stem cells lit up hope for the medical potential of regeneration techniques. For the first time in history, doctors have been able to regenerate damaged tissue through a fresh supply of healthy cells by applying unique stem cell capabilities to create a variety of cell types. different cells in the body.

When scientists realized the medical potential of regeneration through bone marrow transplantation, they continued the process of finding similar cells in the embryo. Early studies of human development have demonstrated that embryonic cells are capable of producing all kinds of cells in the body.

How it works from Embryo to Stem cell:

How to create embryonic stem cells
(1) Embryo: Embryos - Fertilized or cloned eggs for embryo production. Embryos begin
share.
(2) 1 To 5 Days: 1 To 5 Days
Embryos are divided many times and have a sphere form called a blastocyst / blastocyst.
(3) 5 To 7 Days: 5 To 7 Days
At this time, embryonic stem cells were able to be observed and developed
into any type of body cell.
(4) Stem Line: Stem Cell Flow
Stem cells are separated and developed in culture plates. When they divide them
Create stem cell lines.
(5) Tissue Production: Cell Production
Applying many nutritional formulas in combination with various factors, scientists
hope to transform stem cells into more than 200 other types of body cells such as:
Pancreatic Islet Cells: Pancreatic Cells - Diabetes can be used
Muscle Cells: Can be used to restore or replace a damaged heart
Nerve Cells: Neurons - Can be used in the treatment of dementia and
Parkinson's disease as well as treatment of spinal injuries.

Since the 1980s, scientists have successfully extracted mouse embryonic stem cells. But only in 1998, a group of scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison under Professor James Thomson successfully separated human embryonic stem cells for the first time. They knew they had separated stem cells, because those cells did not differentiate for a long time; they also retain the ability to transform into a variety of specialized cells including muscle cells, intestinal cells, nerve cells and cartilage cells.

Biologist and professor of anatomy, Prof.James Thomson stopped working on a computer laptop in the University of Wisconsin-Madison office.He led the team and announced the successful separation of a primates' embryonic cell line in 1995. This initial achievement was the first to separate the human embryonic stem cell line in 1998. .

The Promise of Stem Cell Research: Prospects of stem cell research
Drug Development and Toxicity Tests: Pharmaceutical research and toxicity testing
Experiments to Study Development and Gene Control: Tests to develop genetic research and control
Cultured Pluripotent Stem Cells: Almighty stem cells are being nourished
Tissues / Cells for Therapy: Cells used in treatment
Bone marrow: Bone marrow
Nerve Cells: Neurons
Heart Muscle Cells: Heart muscle cells
Pancreatic Islet Cells: Pancreatic cells

And so stem cell research is pursued by many scientists in the hope of achieving major medical breakthroughs. They are always trying to find ways to recover or replace damaged cells by cells made from stem cells; It also brings hope to those suffering from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, spinal injuries and other disorders. Both embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are the basis for scientists to develop new, valuable ways to produce pharmaceuticals and tests.

The Promise of Stem Cell Research: Prospects of stem cell research
Cultured Pluripotent Stem Cells: Almighty stem cells are being nourished
Identify drug targets and test potential therapeutics: Identify drug targets and potential testing therapies
Toxicity Testing: Toxic testing
Study Cell differentiation: Study the differentiation process of cells
Tissues / Cells for Transplantation: Cells used in transplantation
Understanding, prevention and treatment of birth defects: Understanding, preventing and treating birth defects
Bone marrow for leukemia & chemotherapy: Bone marrow produces white blood cells and is used in chemotherapy
Nerve Cells for Parkinsons & Alzhiemer's disease: Neurons used in the treatment of dementia and Parkinson's disease
Heart Muscle Cells for heart disease: Cardiac muscle cells are used to treat heart disease
Pancreatic Islet Cells for diabetes: Pancreatic cells help treat diabetes

Stem cells are also an effective tool for conducting basic biological studies, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the human body. Thanks to scientific experts, doctors, bioethics experts and others, the Government, together with the Church, studied the potential of stem cell technology in medicine and at the same time established a forum discussing moral significance as well as moral concerns in stem cell research.

¹ . The term 'stem cell' refers to all unspecified cells capable of dividing into any type of cell. Stem cells produce a pair of daughter cells, in which one cell develops to differentiate, the other cell develops into a new stem cell to replace the original stem cell. The term 'root' indicates that these cells are the source of other specialized cells. In the body there are many stem cells at different stages of development. For example, all brain cells are made from a group of original neurons. Each stem neuron produces a brain cell and a copy of itself in each division. The first stem cells are those produced during the first division of fertilized eggs called embryonic stem cells, to distinguish them from later cell groups in specific tissues ( like stem neurons). Embryonic stem cells (in the first stage) develop into all types of tissue in the body, so they are given the name 'almighty cells' that can make all kinds of cells.

ABOUT US
Dr. Tran Manh Hung , MA., STD

Dr. Tran Manh Hung was born in Vietnam. After the 1975 incident, he crossed the border and was settled in Australia in 1982 as a refugee. After settling in Australia, he attended the Yarra Theological Union Institute of Theology and graduated with a Bachelor of Theology in 1992, issued by Melbourne College of Divinity.

After that, he continued to choose a master thesis on An Tu topic and graduated from the Theological College in 1998, at the Catholic University, Notre Dame, Fremantle City, Western Australia.

Falun Gong Theology in 2003, at the Alphonsian Academy, under the Pontifical Lateran University, Rome.

During the past 8 years, Dr. Tran Manh Hung has written and published a number of researches related to the field of Bioethics, such as: Starting Human Life , Germ Embryos , Preventing Pregnancy and Abortion , as well as a number of other articles about In Vitro Fertilization , New Techniques of Reproductive Problems .

Most recently, Dr. Hung has disseminated a number of research papers related to Stem Cell and the use of Stem Cells in Therapeutic Medicine. At the same time, he also discussed new discoveries about the events of today's scientific experts, particularly in the US and Japan, that have been able to regenerate skin cells into stem cells without using them. nuclear transfer method to clone embryos, in order to harvest embryonic stem cells for research.

Dr. Hung also wrote and published in Vietnam three books on the field of Ethical Theology and Bioethics, including the current book Ethics of Biology and Challenges (Hanoi: Ton Publishing House). Church, 2003). In Australia alone, his doctoral dissertation has been printed into a book by Freedom Publishing Company based in Melbourne, Victoria, titled: Advancing The Culture of Death: Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide ( Melbourne: Freedom Publishing Company, 2006).
