Types of Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated (or "blank") cells that have the ability to transform into any number of specialized cells required by the body. Here is a look at the three primary types of stem cells.
Alternatives to Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Embryonic stem cell research has led to vocal opposition by those who believe it poses serious ethical problems. We take a look at three potential alternatives that have proven to be less morally controversial.
The Potential Uses of Stem Cells

With more research, stem cells have the ability to completely alter the course of medical treatment. Here is a closer look at the potential uses of stem cell and the benefits of researching them in depth.
Why Are Stem Cells Considered Controversial?

While stem cells hold the potential to treat numerous diseases and injuries, they are still mired by controversy. We take a look at what makes stem cells such a contentious issue.
What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells have the potential to be one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of modern medicine. We take a look at what you need to know about these "wonder" cells.
Serotonin Deficiency Symptoms

Having chronically low levels of serotonin can create a number of problems for sufferers. We take a look at some common symptoms of serotonin deficiency.
What is Serotonin?

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a big role in many different systems of the body. We take a look at some of the things this chemical is responsible for.
Symptoms of Reactive Airway Disease

RAD is a condition commonly found in children that creates airway inflammation and constriction. We take a look at some of the most common symptoms of this condition.
Reactive Airway Disease Causes and Risk Factors

RAD is an airway disease most commonly found in children. We take a look at the causes and risk factors that can spur this condition on.
Diagnosing Reactive Airway Disease

RAD is a condition that's difficult to diagnose, since it is so closely linked with asthma. We take a look at the different ways doctors attempt to differentiate the two.
