Somatic or adults stem cells.

What we did is something called somatic cell nuclear transplantation.

But it doesn't have to just infect somatic cells, it could infect a germ cell.

If I have a mutation in some cell here, some somatic cell, some body cell, somatic cell, will that mutation or can that mutation in any way affect what's going to happen to my kids?

And that's because in all of our bodies, you do have what are called somatic stem cells.

There's some mutations that won't be passed on to your children, and those are the ones that occur in your somatic cells.

A somatic cell, a body cell, was taken from its body, gestated in the ovum of a cow, and then that cow gave birth to a guar.

But everything else in our body, all of our somatic cells, are diploid, which means that the full complement of chromosomes, they all have a copy of our DNA.

Mitosis occurs in pretty much all of our somatic cells as our skin cells replicate, and our hair cells and all the tissue in our body as it duplicates itself, it goes through mitosis.

So certain genes are expressed in certain parts of the body, but every one of your body cells, and we call those somatic cells, and we'll separate those from the sex sells or the germs that we'll talk about later.

They're in our bone marrow to help produce red blood cells, other parts of our body, but the problem with somatic stem cells is they're not as plastic, which means that they can't form any type of cell in the human body.

So a fertilized egg or even just a regular somatic cell or a body cell will have a diploid number of chromosome, while a sex cell, and I'll be a little bit clearer about that in a second, will have a haploid number of chromosomes.

Taking that idiom of, as it were, the darkness of the body transferred to architecture, can you use architectural space not for living but as a metaphor, and use its systolic, diastolic smaller and larger spaces to provide a kind of firsthand somatic narrative for a journey through space,

But right now, this isn't an area of debate because, left to their own devices, a somatic stem cell or an adult stem cell won't turn into a human being, while an embryonic one, if it is implanted in a willing mother, then, of course, it will turn into a human being.

So the first two reactions of the body, the first is basically the body's ability to understand fear, and that is from top to bottom, not just a cognitive notion, it actually is shifts in the landscape of the body, shifts in the breath, shifts in what muscles are contracted, shifts in the posture, that basically tell our somatic system, the system of our body to be alarmed.

There's an area of research where people are actually maybe trying to make them more plastic, and if they are able to take these somatic stem cells and make them more plastic, it might maybe kill the need to have these embryonic stem cells, although maybe if they do this too good, maybe these will have the potential to turn into human beings as well, so that could become a debatable issue.
