Question
Chapter 9.5, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The lowest level of apoptosis out of four groups of rats- control, prednisolone alone, prednisolone + ACTH, and ACTH alone.
Introduction: The apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death. In this process, various biochemical changes in a cell trigger morphological alterations of different organelles of the cell, which leads to cell death.

- WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION The properties oflife emerge at the biological level of the cell. The highly regulated process of apoptosis is not simply the destruction of acell; it is also an emergent property. Write a short essay (about100–150 words) that briefly explains the role of apoptosis inthe development and proper functioning of an animal, and describe how this form of programmed cell death is a process thatemerges from the orderly integration of signaling pathways.arrow_forward1) Are NGN2-induced neurons (NGN2-iNs) the same as the cells in neural organoids? If not, how are they different? 2) Forced expression of the transcription factor neurogenin 2 (NGN2) induces human neurons, but to mature into electrophysiologically active neurons the require the presence of another cell type: what is that? 3)What kind of expression of NGN2 is associated with a central nervous system (CNS)-like cell?

Mice were genotyped for Rac1 deficiency as previously describedarrow_forward
- Cellular reprogramming and induced pluripotent stem cells have allowed scientists to model various diseases and screen drugs in these in vitro models. Cancer is modeled through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. Please explain the questions in detail (Especially 2nd and 3rd question please, thank you):1) why is it important to model such a disease(cancer)?2) what were the key findings after modeling such a disease (cancer)? 3) a drug that has been screened in this disease model (cancer). Explain in detail the main findings.arrow_forwardQ25. Choose True or False Mammalian cells have a limitless replicative potential.

- 5) Briefly explain why the formation of a tumour can pose a risk to a person's homeostasis. 6) The functioning of the "Ras/MAPK" signal transduction pathway is absolutely essential in order for cells to grow, divide, and migrate. One important protein that is part of this pathway is BRAF. This protein is a kind of enzyme called a "kinase" – an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group onto another protein. In some melanomas, a mutated form of BRAF called BRAF Val600AGlu drives the progression of the cancer. The drug "vemurafenib" slows the progression of the cancer by slowing the production of the mutant BRAF protein. (National Cancer Institute. 2019. Types of Cancer Treatment.
