Conclusion |
The effect of Mitomycin-C on stem cell growth and differentiation is dosage dependent. Our results show that a dosage that is too small will have little to no effect and that a dosage of 8mg or more will destroy all of the cells. Mitomycin-C also effects the differentiation of the stem cells into specialized cells. Most of the cells ended up specializing as neurons. From this experiment, we can conclude that the anti-tumour drug, Mitomycin-C is able, when given in the correct dosage, to prevent adult stem cells from reproducing and from growing. This means that if transplanted, these cells which once had the potential to grow to an outrageous size and take over other cells will not grow and will not cause bodily harm. Wow, we found a real solution here! |
