Biotechnology and stem cell technology overview

Abstract

In the 21st century, Humanity witnessed a remarkable growth in scientific discoveries and inventions. This scientific revolution is affiliated with many sectors such as biology, chemistry and computer science.1 This scientific progress is due to the challenges that humanity faced in order to improve life quality and save lives of peoples all over the globe.2 For instance, the recent COVID-19 pandemic that threaten the humanity existence. The virus spread in only 20 days, it infected more than 80 million persons and lead to more than 1.6 million deaths.3 Science and specifically Biotechnology had to overcome this obstacle to find a vaccine for this airborne virus threating humanity. In less than a year, Biotechnological laboratories were able to provide Covid vaccines.4 Biotechnology is an interesting scientific sector that rises many questions about its definition, history of development and application.
