Cancer Stem Cells
Cancer stem cells constitute only a very small portion of tumors yet play a key role in the proliferation of cancer. Cancer stem cells may be inherently resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs. Cancers that result from chronic tissue injury may be due to excessive activation of stem cells.

MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
In November of 1998 two separate American teams announced an extraordinary breakthrough. One was led by Dr. James Thomson from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the other by Dr. John Gearhart from John Hopkins University. Both teams managed, for the first time, to isolate and to grow indefinitely in the lab human embryonic stem cells (SC). They are the progenitor cells for all specialized cells and, in consequence, capable of producing all the different organs of the body and, thus, having the potential of extending your lifetime.

Stem Cells and Brain Drain- -Naturally, They Go Together
While researchers mass-produce embryonic stem cells, in Columbus, Ohio politicians try to walk the fine line between tech and moral issues. Meanwhile, our state’s brain-drain continues. I say, take a stand (in the 21st century) and let the scientists do their thing—here, in Ohio. Then, get on to some issues that NEED political intervention: like really improving school funding. And then the teachers worry about the Science Olympics.
