Transcript: Cells divide in a systematic way, they slowly divide at a normal pace to replace worn-out cells. Cancer cells spread about the body but retains the same properties as the original cells. Cancer somehow tricks your body and gets threw the white blood cell systems. Children luck out because the treatments we have today have long terms effects. They are still growing. The treatments can cause growing problems, eyesight, hearing, and many more effects. The treatment slows down or damages the cells. If you have cancer as an adult, it does not only effect your family, but it effects you in the long run. Your bones can become very brittle, you can lose eyesight, hearing, and in some cases you can lose your hair and it never grows back. This is because the some of the cells stop dividing or are damaged from certain types of treatments. Scientists are trying to find possible treatments that do not only stop the growth of cancer cells, but create a treatment that does not damage the normal cells "Cancer Cells vs. Normal Cells: What's Different?" C-Health. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Dec. 2012 These two scientists are not only trying to find the cure for cancer, but they are also trying to slow down the speed of the cell division in the mitosis process in the cancer cells. Differences Own Project Mackenzie Coberley What are the differences between the effects on the body if you're younger or older, when you have cancer Biology Textbook Cancer Cell: grows and divides at rapid paces and spreads about the body at abnormal paces "Ben Simons, of Cancer Research UK’s Cambridge Research Institute, said that knowing just which cells to target ‘might be a much better strategy to effect a real cure and prevent relapse’. Professor Simons’s study tracked the development of skin cancer in mice. By tracking individual cells, it showed a small number of them drive the growth of the tumor.' Cancer cell and normal cell division Normal Cell: The cell grows a bit bigger and then into two cells.
