How has our understanding of mouse embryonic stem cells greatly illuminated our understanding of human genetics?
Stem cells have unique potential to develop into different type of cells, during the early stages of life.In many tissues they also work as internal repair systems. When a stem cell divides, there are two possibilities, either the cell becomes a stem cell or it turns into a more specialized cell like muscle or RBC's.
The detailed study done on the biology of mouse stem cells paved way to the discovery of a method to derive stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in the laboratory in 1988.
How has our understanding of mouse embryonic stem cells greatly illuminated our understanding of human genetics?
Cloning Human Embryonic Stem Cells Cloning is now possible by inserting a skin cell from a baby into an unfertilized human egg that has had its own DNA removed. This produces a blastocyte (an undifferentiated embry onic cell), which includes stem cells identical to the baby's. With this technique it is possible to make genetically identical embryonic stem cells from any cell in the human body. This would remove the need to harvest these cells from existing embryos. Theoretically these...
How could an embryonic stem cell be used to repair a severed spine? A. Embryonic stem cells secrete proteins that repair all other cell types, including nerve cells. B. Embryonic stem cells can cause any other cell type to multiply. C. Embryonic stem cells are primarily involved with neural growth and development. D. Embryonic stem cells can grow into any other cell type, including a nerve cell.
Properties of human embryonic stem cells, developed from surplus embryos after in vitro fertilization, include: (A) can replicate themselves to provide a pool of stem cells (C) can be injected into a whole organism (human) without the risk of rejection (B) can be differentiated into other cell types Both A and B are correct All answers are correct
5. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos. They are specifically obtained from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro for an infertile couple in an in-vitro fertilization clinic. These are excess fertilized eggs that are donated for research with informed consent of the donors. Medical researchers believe that stem cells have great potential for helping to repair, even regenerate, damaged human tissue, even nerve tissue. Would a Kantian approve of using human embryonic stem cells for medical research and...
please answer this post and ask one question regarding this post Embryonic stem cells are a type of cell that derive from embryos. This process usually happens though in vitro fertilization and then donated to research with consent of the donor. These cells are useful for research and can be used to “regenerate and repair damaged tissue, some current therapies such as bone marrow transplantation already make use to stem cells and their potential for regeneration of damaged tissues” (Kohl,...
When attempting a targeted gene knockout using mouse embryonic stem cells, there are three possible outcomes: targeted knockout, ectopic insertion, and no insertion. What procedures can be used to select for cells that only have the targeted gene knockout? (9 pts) Describe why Jacob and Monod used IPTG as a synthetic inducer during their experiments investigating the genetic control of the lac operon. (6 pts) Describe the function of the CAP-cAMP system in bacteria. Why does it regulate several operons...
which cells feature is common to normal human differentiated cells and to early embryonic human cells? how are gametes different from zygotes ?
6. How did scientists succeed in culturing normal early mouse embryonic cells? Describe the experimental procedures and the methods they used in the pluripotency tests of the cultured cells.
1. Given DES’s embryonic proliferation of Leydig stem cells, how could this change in hormones lead to testicular cancer? 2. Given DES’s embryonic reduction in Sertoli cells, what do you predict are the effects on fertility in DES sons? Please describe with much detail.
