Stem Cell: The Long-Term Effects of Stem Cell Transplants

The Long-Term Effects of Stem Cell Transplants: What New Research Tells Us About Mutation Rates and Blood Cell Regeneration A groundbreaking study on hematopoietic stem cell transplants, often used to treat blood cancers, has provided insight into the long-term behavior of donor stem cells in recipients. Published in Science Translational Medicine , this study examined 16 unique pairs of donors and recipients who had survived decades after transplant—some for as long as 46 years. The findings revealed intriguing clues about how these transplanted cells change over time and raised new questions about the regenerative potential of bone marrow. Background on Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants For patients battling blood cancers, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are often the best treatment option. In this procedure, stem cells from a healthy donor are transferred to a recipient, taking over the job of rebuilding the entire blood cell production system in the new host. Thes...

The Dunning-Kruger effect

More Info: Dunning Kruger Effect #dunningkugereffect #superioritycomplex Crux of this effect: Low knowledge, high confidence Dunning-Kruger effect , in psychology , a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general. According to the researchers for whom it is named, psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the effect is explained by the fact that the metacognitive ability to recognize deficiencies in one’s own knowledge or competence requires that one possess at least a minimum level of the same kind of knowledge or competence, which those who exhibit the effect have not attained. Because they are unaware of their deficiencies, such people generally assume that they are not deficient...
