Immune cells have been genetically modified to treat cancer. Stem cells, as well as other cells in tissues and organs in the hum

an body, have been genetically engineered. For example, transgenes could be developed and delivered into pancreatic cells, to express insulin. If these transgenes were inserted into the genome of pancreas, those cells could become fully functional insulin producing cells as a cure for diabetes. This type of an approach to genetic modification is known as?

Answer:

Gene therapy

Explanation:

Gene therapy is designed to introduce and infuse genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or make new proteins that are beneficial to the host. Gene therapy introduces normal copy of a gene to replace and restore damage genes that resulted from mutations, this process in turn bring back the original function of the particular protein and restores it's functioning.

Alja [10]

Answer:

a. Viral infections may lead to inflammation between the ribs (i.e., costochondritis)

b. Viral infection

c. Viral infection may lead to the influx of chemical mediators (cytokines), increased blood flow, and movement of plasma and white blood cells (leukocytes) from the blood into the injured site

Explanation:

Costochondritis is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breastbone (this joint is known as the “costochondral joint”). Costochondritis is caused by inflammation of the costochondral joint, which may be triggered by multiple causes including, among others, viral/bacterial/fungal infections, exercise or strenuous activity, chest trauma, osteoarthritis, presence of tumors, etc. Acute inflammation is the immediate immune response of the body to harmful stimuli (e.g., viral infections), which is characterized by the increased movement of white blood cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) that rapidly travel from the blood into the injured area. This plasma contains chemical mediators like pro-inflammatory cytokines which are secreted from immune cells (e.g., Th1 cells, CD4+ cells, macrophages) in order to promote inflammation.

Proteins act as ____________ and help to maintain proper ph in blood by picking up or donating hydrogen ions.
ratelena [41]
Protein act as buffers. Buffers are resistant to pH changes. So when too much acidic components are present in the blood, proteins bind to them so that it does not change the net pH of the blood. Example of this is the hemoglobin or the red blood cells.

The tropomyosin filament would not be dislodged preventing contraction.

The cross bridges would remain linked and therefore contraction would stop

The cross bridges would break apart due to the presence of calcium ions enabling some contraction

The myosin heads would separate from the actin molecule due to the release of ADP that was previously present.
