چکیده
The current emphasis in K-12 education on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (Douglas, Iversen, & Kalyandurg, 2004; Sanders, 2009) creates many ways to partner engineering education with these fields. Therefore, it is appropriate to examine the commonalities these fields have with engineering education. Though much of the science education and mathematics education history is understood, technology education’s history is not common knowledge, and as a result misconceptions abound (Daugherty & Wicklein, 1993 Wicklein, 2008). Technology education’s longstanding history in problemand project-based learning, designand engineering-related pedagogical approach is over a century old and grounded in theories of Comenius, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Froebel, Herbart, Sheldon, and Dewey (Dewey, 1915; Foster, 1995, 1997; Herschbach, 2009; Kirkwood, 1994). The brief review of technology education’s history will reveal an almost eerie parallel to the current engineering education and STEM education movements.

A Quick update from the Past to Current Status of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Hepatocyte culture systems
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) may be offered as an unlimited cell source for the hepatocyte generation. The generation of hepatocytes from stem cells in vitro would provide an alternative cell source for applications in drug discovery and cell transplantation. In this review, we discuss different approaches to generate pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes, advantages, limitations for each ...

متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy, clinical trials, complications, and quality of life for patients with Sickle cell anemia: Clinical potential and future perspectives
Background: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an inherited monogenic disorder. The clinical symptoms of SCA are protean, including vaso-occlusion, hemolysis, early stroke, leg ulcers, multi-organ failure, and increased risk of premature death. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only treatment identified to reduce SCA-related organ damage. Unfortunately, graft rejection is a significant im...

متن کاملI-4: Male Fertility Preservation Options, Current State-of-The ART and Future Implications
Background Male infertility management has made significant progress during the past three decades, especially after the introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in 1992. However, many boys and men still suffer from primary testicular failure due to acquired or genetic causes. New and novel treatments are needed to address these issues. Spermatogenesis originates from spermatogon...
