Stem Cells: Neurodegenerative Disease Cure

Stem cells are cells that have not yet differentiated to perform a certain task. Scientists and engineers can manipulate them to differentiate into a certain cell. This is advantageous for the scientific community because scientists, engineers, and doctors can use stem cells for their own reasons. They can be used to cure diseases or for research. Stem cells are a great way to cure certain diseases because they replace dead/dying cells. They are great for curing diseases such as Alzheimer disease, Huntington disease, Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and spinal muscular atrophy. Stem cells replace the dead/dying cells with new ones, allowing lost functions to be regained. Stem cell research needs to be pushed to its limits because there is a huge potential for them to cure diseases and to allow scientists, doctors, and engineers to study diseases in a safe environment.
