NN+Presentation+Summary

My part of the presentation was all about some of the different diseases that could be cured or benefited through stem cell research. The diseases included Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Spinal Chord Injury, and Arthritis. All of these diseases have the possibility of being cured by stem cells because the stem cells could potentially replace the damaged cells that cause the disease. Even if the disease cannot be cured by replacing the damaged cells, stem cells would be able to replicate the diseased cells and allow further study of the disease, potentially facilitating a cure. This benefit is generic through all diseases that have the potential to be cured through stem cells and stem cell research.
