Stem Cell Niche01:26

Stem Cell Niche

6.5K
The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...

Regulation of Transpiration by Stomata

32.0K
During photosynthesis, plants acquire the necessary carbon dioxide and release the produced oxygen back into the atmosphere. Openings in the epidermis of plant leaves is the site of this exchange of gasses. A single opening is called a stoma—derived from the Greek word for “mouth.” Stomata open and close in response to a variety of environmental cues.

Stem Cell Culture01:17

Stem Cell Culture

6.5K
Stem cell research aims to find ways to use stem cells to regenerate and repair cellular damage. Over time, most adult cells undergo the wear and tear of aging and lose their ability to divide and repair themselves. Stem cells do not display a particular morphology or function. Adult stem cells, which exist as a small subset of cells in most tissues, keep dividing and can differentiate into a number of specialized cells generally formed by that tissue. These cells enable the body to renew and...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

43.1K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.9K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration01:21

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

4.8K
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.
Types of Stem Cells used in Stem Cell Therapy
The two main cell...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The word "stigma" may be harmful. A study found "reactions" was perceived as less disrespectful than "stigma" or "prejudice" when discussing mental illness, suggesting alternative language may be beneficial.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The term "stigma" is debated for its potential to further marginalize individuals with mental illness.
  • Advocates suggest replacing "stigma" to mitigate negative connotations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare public perception of different terms used to describe attitudes towards mental illness.
  • To investigate whether "stigma," "prejudice," or "reactions" elicit more negative perceptions.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide survey involved 340 participants recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk.
  • Participants read vignettes describing an individual with schizophrenia, with variations in wording referring to coworker attitudes.
  • A brief stigma measure assessed perceptions of the terms "stigma," "prejudice," and "reactions".

Main Results:

  • Stigma ratings did not significantly differ across vignette groups.
  • The term "reactions" was perceived as significantly less disrespectful than both "stigma" and "prejudice" (p < .001).

Conclusions:

  • While "reactions" may be perceived more favorably, further research is needed before replacing "stigma" in public discourse.
  • Current efforts to eliminate the word "stigma" might divert focus from the core goal of reducing mental illness stigma.
