Are neural crest cells a form of stem cell if so what type?
Neural crest cells derived from embryonic ectoderm cells in
chordates of
group cristozoa.
These cells give rise to or get differentiated into melanocytes,
glial cells,
neurons of peripheral system, bone, smooth muscle, etc.
When these cells are grown in a medium, these cells differentiate
into
a variety of cells. This suggests that these cells are stem
cells.
please help! I also took a closer picture of the images.. thank you! (1) Explain why neural crest cells migrating in the path2 migrate into the anterior but not posterior somite. Use terms: ephrin, Eph. (Ept) (2) In the intact condition of mouse, the Notch signaling keeps the neural precursors in an immature c proliferation state to expand the number of neuronal cells in later. Explain what will happen if the constitutive active form of Notch (continuously active Notch) is...
Summarize the role of Hox genes, neural crest cells, and epidermal: mesenchymal signaling in the patterning of vertebrates. Give an example from each class of vertebrates. How do hox genes, neural crest cells, and epidermal: mesenchymal interactions of the integument give each type of vertebrate their unique and special traits?
Starting with the neural tube, show the neural crest cell path that makes the glia of the dorsal root ganglia.
need help urgently Question 47 2 pts Neural crest cells are now known to be able to differentiate in to cells. None of the options shown. ectoderm All of the options shown mesoderm endoderm Question 42 2 pts Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be created by the expression of a set of key genes in most somatic cell types, including cells derived from adult tissues. O require a supply of donor egg cells, as is the case for embryonic...
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.
Question 3 What is the purpose of Stem Cell Therapy? Use of stem cells to prevent an animal from aging once it reaches maturity Use of stem cells to create an embryo (without using a fertilized egg) Use of stem cells to create a new individual (for example the sheep Dolly) Use of stem cells to fix or replace tissues that have been damaged Use of stem cells to change one type of tissue into another (for example, muscle tissue...
1. What is a stem cell line? A. Stem Cells lined up in a row. B. Stem Cells in the lineage. C. A population of Stem Cells grown by scientists. D. A Stem Cell broken down, with it's contents placed in a line. 2. What is an Adult Stem Cell? A. A cell extracted from mature tissue. B. A cell extracted only from children. C. A cell extracted only from adults. D. Both A and C. E. None of the...
4. (15) You designed a polymer based hydrogel scaffold which can direct neural stem cells (NSCs) to differentiate into neurons in a linear grid. To check whether the cells differentiated, you used immunofluorescence to stain the cells for neural markers MAP-2 and DCX and NSC marker Sox2. a) What data do you expect to see from your immunofluorescence experiment if the NSCs had differentiated? b) Is this experiment sufficient? What other experiments should we do to confirm? (No need to...
1. Interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix regulate 10. If blocking antibodies to fibronectin are injected into an embryo through which neural crest cells are migrating, what happens? 8. What are tight junctions? a) cell migration only b) cell proliferation only c) cell differentiation only d) cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation a) specialized contacts between fibroblasts b) specialized contacts between adjacent epithelial cells c) specialized connections where adjacent cells exchange small molecules d) All of the above are correct...
