Summary Introduction
To review:
Presence of multipotent stem cells in the organs with highly differentiated cells.
Introduction:
The pluripotent cells give rise to all forms of cells, such as an embryonic stem cell. The multipotent stem cells, on the other hand, are those that can develop into more than one type. The adult stem cells or cord blood stem cells are known as multipotent cells.

TGF-β1 is a protein that affects cell growth and differentiation. Scientists conducted an experiment where epithelial cells were treated with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in the laboratory. At the end of the experiment, the epithelial cells had transformed through several stages from epithelial cells to embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to neural progenitor cells (NPCs), and finally to cortical neurons (CNs). The scientists observed the transformation of the cells by analyzing gene expression at certain stages (M1-M7) and determined the relative gene expression level, as shown in the graph.
The graph shows the relative gene expression level for cells at different stages of differentiation.
Which of the following claims could account for the differences in gene expression at each stage of cell differentiation, and how does this correlate with the distance of the genes on the chromosome?
A - Cell differentiation is controlled by RNA translation, but there is no…

- Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates the production of erythrocytes in red bone marrow. Although EPO is primarily produced and released by the kidneys in response to low tissue levels of oxygen, several other tissues, including the liver and neurons of the central nervous system (CNS), can produce EPO. EPO binds the EPO receptor (EPOR) in erythrocyte precursor cells, causing them to differentiate into mature erythrocytes that are released into circulation. As the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood increases, secretion of EPO by the kidneys decreases. Neurons in the CNS also express EPOR, and EPO has been shown to decrease apoptosis of both erythrocyte precursor cells and CNS neurons. EPO also promotes angiogenesis, the production of new blood vessels. The human EPO gene has been cloned and expressed in vitro. The recombinant gene product (rHuEPO) is frequently administered to patients who have anemia resulting from either kidney failure or chemotherapy.…arrow_forwardErythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates the production of erythrocytes in red bone marrow.

- Anatomy and Physiology infants younger than one-year-old shouldn't be given raw honey because they can die from exposure to clostridium botulinum. infection by this bacteria can cause constipation and paralysis. explain how the prevention of docking of neurotransmitter filled vessels by this bacteria might lead to the two signs above.arrow_forwardIt is not an easy matter to assign particular func-tions to specific components of the basal lamina, sincethe overall structure is a complicated composite materialwith both mechanical and signaling properties. Nidogen,for example, cross-links two central components of thebasal lamina by binding to the laminin γ-1 chain and totype IV collagen. Given such a key role, it was surprisingthat mice with a homozygous knockout of the gene fornidogen-1 were entirely healthy, with no abnormal phe-notype. Similarly, mice homozygous for a knockout of thegene for nidogen-2 also appeared completely normal. Bycontrast, mice that were homozygous for a defined muta-tion in the gene for laminin γ-1, which eliminated just thebinding site for nidogen, died at birth with severe defectsin lung and kidney formation. The mutant portion of thelaminin γ-1 chain is thought to have no other functionthan to bind nidogen, and does not affect laminin struc-ture or its ability to assemble into the basal lamina.…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about potency is correct?
