Chapter 14, Problem 3QP
Summary Introduction
To determine: The method with which established that induced pluripotent stem cells derived from the adult skin cells are really pluripotent.
Introduction: The cells that possess the ability to differentiate into several types of cells, and also the ability of self-renewal are known as stem cells. Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are two types of stem cells. Bone marrow and the umbilical cord blood are the two main sources to extract stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells are the third type of stem cells which are artificially developed in the laboratories.

- 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.arrow_forwardThe exchange of materials between RPE cells and the rods and cone cells is very important.

While we will soon embark on a discussion of the perils of relving solely on cells grown in culture, we will find that the benefits of their usage comes in their "tractability": agonists and antagonists can be readily applied and removed from the cellular environment and behavioral reactions can be measured in a matter of hours or days. Thus, by using models such as tissue culture cells scientists can pose "bite-sized" experimental hypotheses that can be tested in well-controlled experiments in a relatively short amount of time. We will take advantage of these benefits this week by performing a simple assay of adhesive behavior that is commonly performed in the Cancer Biology world to ask basic questions about tumor cell behavior. Today we will visualize…arrow_forward
