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.

zepelin [54]

Answer: This shows that over time, some insects can become "pesticide-resistant" meaning that pesticides don't affect them anymore. And this only happens every few generations. Therefore, each generation is being naturally selected and accumulating variations that make them resist the chemicals. This shows that each cockroach's genes are changing to give them variation from the rest of the population.

I hope this helps!

Compare and contrast the genetic material between a bacterium and a fungus. ​
Sati [7]
Bacteria and Fungi come under different categories; the former one is the prokaryotic cell while the latter one is Eukaryotic cells. Apart from this, there are many differences between them like bacteria need a host to live, and they can be autotrophs as well as heterotrophs, whereas fungi grow their own and are heterotrophs which depend on others for their food. Bacteria do not have nuclear membrane enclosing nucleus, while Fungi (eukaryotes) have well- defined nucleus surrounded by the nuclear membrane.

Explain why using different seed types along with different water temperatures is an improper experimental design.
Darya [45]

Answer:

Because each subject in an experiment has to have equal conditions to ensure the most accurate results. And water temperature is known to impact plant growth. An experiment using different water temperatures is a terribly inaccurate experiment.
