I am confused about how stem cell transplants works. If you put a semi differentiated tadpole nucleus in a denucleated egg cell, it’ll develop into a fully formed tadpole, but if you put a fully differentiated tadpole nucleus, it won’t (because the genes have already been expressed in a way where the cytoplasmic determinants cannot operate to the fullest). Then how come in stem cell transplants, you use adult nucleuses that are already developed and transplant them into the denucleated egg cells?
You have treated undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with sonic hedgehog (Shh)for several days. This should induce a neural fate in your ESCs and you hope that you havebeen successful in differentiating the ESCs into NSCs. What is one assay you could use to testwhether your cells had differentiated into NSC-like cells? Name and shortly describe the assay?
You are working in a cell biology lab that investigates non-small cell lung cancer cells, which of these cellular features will be suggestive of senescence in the cells observed? Choose all that apply: Group of answer choices Large flattened morphology Reduced incorporation of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (in DNA replication) Increased p53 expression Decreased expression of p15INK4B
Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of various conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat, high serum triglycerides, and low high-density lipoproteins. Scientists studying metabolic syndrome cultured fibroblast cells from a metabolic syndrome patient and a healthy volunteer and challenged the cells to 100 nM insulin. Ten minutes after the stimulus was applied, they used a protein immunoblot to measure the amount of phosphorylated insulin receptor in the cultures. Use the passage to answer the question. Some patients with metabolic syndrome can continue to gain weight even if they consume fewer calories than other human adults. Based on this finding, which conclusion is MOST likely true? A. Patients with metabolic syndrome do not eliminate as many calories during excretion. B. Patients with metabolic syndrome do not expend as much energy during muscle contractions. C. Patients with metabolic syndrome have more efficient…

Insulin, in addition to regulating blood glucose, also promotes satiety. Ghrelin, on the other hand, is a peptide hormone that promotes hunger. Which statement BEST predicts the effect of ghrelin release on the insulin receptor? A. It increases insulin receptor expression. B. It decreases insulin receptor expression. C. It increases insulin receptor phosphorylation. D. It decreases insulin receptor phosphorylation.

The exchange of materials between RPE cells and the rods and cone cells is very important. Suggest by which membrane transport methods ions, proteins and damaged fragments of rod cells would be taken into the RPE cells. Outline the properties of stem cells which will help to repair the RPE layer of a patients retina after implantation of the thin sheet of cells. Outline how the presence of a base substitution mutation in the ABCA4 gene would result in the synthesis of a protein which cannot carry out its normal function.

New treatments for several conditions are being developed using stem cells in medical waste, such as biopsy material, teeth, menstrual blood, umbilical cords, and fatty tissue removed in liposuction. For example, fat samples from injured horses are used to grow stem cells to treat tendon injuries. Explain how the two defining characteristics of stem cells enable them to be used to replace damaged or diseased tissue, so that the new tissue functions as opposed to forming a scar.
