Bionic Stem Cell PortalStem cells are undifferentiated cells that can turn into specific cells, as the body needs them.                 "Bionic Stem Cell Portal," © 2019 Cynthia Turner  

The World Is Out of BreathViral budding from the plasma membrane of lung epithelial cells enables coronaviruses to exit the host cell after infection and replication. This can initiate a cytokine storm, a sudden over-response of the body’s immune system all at once from an immune system gone awry, producing an inflammatory response flaring out of control.
