  8. Literature Review 3 Michael D Jones how stem cells are made Figure 7 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stem_cells_diagram.png Note: I haven’t found his original work but this is an example of what he did

  9. Purpose In 1990, 35 to 40 billion dollars were spent in cancer care (International Society of Technology Assessment in Health Care). With research stem cells have been found in adult bodies and by reprogramming these embryonic stem cells scientists can regenerate human tissues by putting them in drugs. Hypothesis Alternate Hypothesis-The mutated planaria will take more time to regenerate than the non-mutated planaria.

  10. Methodology 20 Planaria (n=3) 2 weeks for regeneration with UV radiation for 2 minutes 10 mutated 10 regular Planaria are sliced in half 2 weeks later Data Analysis

  11. Protocols for measurement • The Planaria culture (10 per culture) will eat a diet of 20 grams of liver a week • During the second regeneration (with the group with mutations) the measured amount will be amount of UV radiation (time they have been subjected to the chamber) compared to the time it takes to regenerate (in days)

  12. Do-Ability • Cheap (only planaria) • Easy • We already have the most expensive item (A Ultra Violate Ray chamber) • Applies to life
