Stem cells have the potential to revolutionize medicine. With further research and advancements, they offer tremendous therapeutic prospects for treating debilitating illnesses and injuries.
PHAGES
Bacteriophages have many potential applications including fighting antibiotic resistant bacteria. Research in understanding phages’ replication cycle and identifying the potential of phage-encoded proteins is key to their commercial adoption.
AMOEBAS
Protozoa organisms can lead to serious infections and death. Infections with amoebas such as naegleria fowleri (brain eating ameba), balamuthia mandrillaris, and acanthamoeba are very rare, but almost always fatal. Because of the rarity of infection, finding a cure doesn’t receive prime attention.
