Astrocytes carrying the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1G93A) mutation induce wild-type motor neuron degeneration in vivo.

Semenov [28]1 year ago

As "nurse" cells for neurons in the brain parenchyma, astrocytes are resident glial cells produced from neuroectoderm.

How astrocytes become pathological?

  • Recent research has identified astrocytes as major disease-propagating agents in mutant human superoxide dismutase 1 (mSOD1)-mediated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • However, due to the widespread expression of mSOD1 throughout the CNS of the investigated rodent models, in vivo examination of a specific astrocytic effect in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has proven challenging.
  • In order to understand how mutant astrocytes affect WT MNs and other cell types (microglia and astrocytes) in an in vivo environment, we transplanted SOD1(G93A) glial-restricted precursor cells into the cervical spinal cord of WT rats.
  • SOD1(G93A) glial-restricted progenitor cells that were transplanted survived and successfully differentiated into astrocytes.

The drug Viagra promotes blood vessel dilation by prolonging signaling through nitric oxide (NO). How does Viagra boost NO?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, it prevents the enzyme, which degrades cyclic GMP.

Explanation:

Oral therapy for erectile dysfunction is Viagra, which is the citrate salt of sildenafil, it works by preventing a specific phosphodiesterase type 5 or PDE5, which is the inhibitor of cGMP. During sexual stimulation, nitrous oxide is released in the corpus cavernosum causing the erection of the penis in males. The nitrous oxide then stimulates the enzyme guanylate cyclase that further makes the concentration of cGMP to elevate, this generates smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and permitting blood the inward flow of blood.

Viagra works by increasing the influence of nitric acid by preventing PDE5, which is accountable for the deprivation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. At the time of sexual stimulation, the discharging of nitrous oxide takes place, the viagra inhibits PDE5 causing the levels of cGMP to elevate in the corpus cavernosum leading to smooth muscle relaxation and continuous flow of blood to the corpus cavernosum.

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be CANCER. The given situation above is an example of the early stages of CANCER. Cancer is defined as a disease caused by an uncontrollable division and spread of abnormal cells all over the body. The skin cells rapidly divide, but the cells are already defective and no longer function properly. Hope this answer helps.

A Mercator projection map shows?
cricket20 [7]

Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.
