CELL RESEARCH

Scientists at the University
of Edinburgh are doing some research in using living cells in place of tissues
from deceased donors for patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The use
of these cells will make their studies more accurate. The cells would also help
the researchers make tests that are more relevant to the disease. After growing
these cells in the laboratory, They can study the response the cells have to
different psychiatric treatments and other tests.
I
found this aspect of physiology interesting enough to share with the class
because it is interesting to see the different research opportunities there are
around the world and how they can benefit the society. Learning about how living
cells interact and their reaction to different stimuli.
