Chapter 7 Stem Cells and Stem Cell Research B. Listen to a passage “ A Discovery in the Creation of Human Stem Cells” twice, and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). 1. Scientists used to believe that stem cells could be used treat many diseases. 2. Stem cells can derive from human embryos. 3. Two groups of scientists reported similar findings with different experiments. 4. Four kinds of retroviruses injected into skin cells help control embryo development. 5. It has not been confirmed whether the reprogrammed human skin cells really are the same as stem cells from human embryos. 6. Much remains to be learned about the reprogrammed stem cells. 7. One concern is that the cells might lead to cancer. C. Listen to a passage “ Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine” three times, and fill in each blank with the word or sentence from the audio clip. The road from basic science to clinical (1)___________ can be a rocky one. A perfect case in point is our current (2)_________on both sides of the Atlantic to realize the benefits of (3)____________ regenerative medicine as a treatment for damaged hearts. When Dr. Piero Anversa from New York Medical College and his (4) ___________ Dr. Donald Orlic from the National Institutes of Health (5) ___________ in April 2001 that stem cells from bone marrow (6) ___________ into the damaged hearts of mice had morphed into cardiac cells, implanted in the damaged (7) _________, and laid the seeds for regenerative healing, the news was met with great (8) ___________. For many years, the commonly held belief was that heart cells did not divide. That has now been proven false. As Dr. Anversa has said, “For years (9) __________________________________ ________________________________________________. But how could anyone believe that the heart could contract so many years using the same cells?” All understood this was a starting point. But (10) _____________________________________ __________
