By injecting Mesenchymal Stem Cells with ability to express high amount of Akt or protein kinase B in myocardium, researchers witnessed restored cardiac function and inhibition of ventricular remodeling. The effect was seen after two weeks of administration of cells. The culture containing hypoxic Akt-MSCs (conditioned medium) inhibits apoptosis or cell death induced due to hypoxia. Also, it triggers in vitro contraction of cardiomyocytes, the cardiac cells specifically responsible for contraction function.

The desired functional improvement can occur in short time which is less than 72 hours, the reason for which was hypothesized as paracrine action of cells.  Hypothesis was proved by upregulation of genes that code for factors responsible for above mentioned effects (apoptosis and contraction). The factors are FGF-2, VEGF, HGF etc.

masha68 [24]
The answer is D, for when one tropic level is eaten by the tropic level above it, the tropic level is supporting the higher one. I. E. Rabbits are supported by the grass because rabbits eat the grass. Also, the grass population would be larger than rabbits, the rabbits larger than snakes, so on and so forth, so B is ruled out. B states that each population is larger than the one BEFORE it, but there is no way there would be more rabbits than grass. Also, there are both herbivores and carnivores in the food chain, so A and C are out. The best answer is D.

Established on the data, sickle cell hemoglobin displays altered primary structure and altered quaternary structure; the secondary and tertiary structures may or may not be altered. The sickle cell disease is a cluster of disorders that disturbs hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that transports oxygen to cells all over the body. A person with this disorder have uncharacteristic hemoglobin molecules named hemoglobin S which can interfere with red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape.
