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

Semenov [28]9 months 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.

A cruise ship makes his way from when Island to another this ship is emotion compare with which preference point
Finger [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to attach the options for this question we can say the following.

A cruise ship makes its way from one island to another. the ship is in motion compared with which reference point?

The correct answer is "a lighthouse on a nearby island."

In this case, that is the function of the lighthouse. To be the point of reference or the guiding element that the captain of the ship is going to use to keep the ship's trajectory correct.

Although there are uncontrollable external elements such as heavy storms, fog, or bad weather, the captain of the ship is going to be guided by the lighthouse.

When does the exponential growth of a population stop?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

When the population reaches its carrying capacity.

Explanation:

As a population grows, there is more competition for resources which can limit a population. There are also natural disasters that can play a role too such as disease. Another factor that is part of carrying capacity is the size of the habitat. If there is no room, then the population cannot increase.

Proteins serve many functions within cells. They aid in cellular transport within the cell. They assist with the transport of su
Sati [7]

Answer: This is because water helps in stabilizing the conformation or structure, flexibility of proteins and their movement or motion.

Explanation: Every protein have a particular conformation at which it functions optimally. A protein's conformation is stabilized largely by weak interactions and these weak interactions occur more favorably in aqueous medium. A given polypeptide chain can assume different conformations. The chemical interactions that stabilize the native conformation include include disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and ionic interactions. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are formed in the presence of water, though they are weak interactions but their cumulative effect in a protein is significant. These weak interactions helps to maintain the conformation of proteins and ultimately their function.
