Where stem cells transform to T cells

Biology
2 answers:
Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

T cell progenitors originate in the bone marrow and, through a series of defined and coordinated developmental stages, enter the thymus, differentiate, undergo selection, and eventually mature into functional T cells.

Answer:

Scientists from the UCLA AIDS Institute and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine have derived T-cells from human embryonic stem cells, raising hopes for a gene therapy to combat AIDS. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported the findings in its July 14, 2006, online edition.

“We may be able to use human embryonic stem cells to treat T-cell and other blood diseases,” says lead author Zoran Galic, assistant research biologist. “This could be a very important weapon in the fight against AIDS.”

The researchers cultured human embryonic stem cells and incubated them on mouse bone-marrow cells, which in turn converted them into blood-forming cells. Those cells were injected into a human thymus that had been implanted in a mouse. The thymus transformed the bloodforming cells into the T-cells that HIV targets for destruction.

“Our results indicate that it’s possible to decipher the signals that control embryonic stem cells’ development into mature T-cells,” says Jerome Zack, associate director of the UCLA AIDS Institute and professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics. “This way we can eventually repopulate the immune system of patients needing T-cells.”

One of the body’s main defenses against disease, Tcells are manufactured in the thymus. The organ shrinks as we age, weakening the immune system. The scientists anticipate that their findings could give rise to gene-therapy approaches for other diseases related to T-cells such as severe combined immunodeficiency, or “bubble-boy disease.”

Is evolution a random process? Why or why not.
Bingel [31]

Answer: No

But it is crazy. If Evolution was real things would not be the same as it is today.

Explanation: All life on Earth evolved from a single-celled organism that lived roughly 3.5 billion years ago, a new study seems to confirm.

Evolution is a theory . Charles Darwin came up with it.

Evolution is defined as the process of growth and development or the theory that organisms have grown and developed from past organisms. An example of evolution is how cell phones have changed over time.

Explain how the independent alignment of homologs, and also crossing-over during the first meiotic division, each contribute to
BartSMP [9]

Answer: Homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. And they exchange segments of DNA during crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gamete cells, which are sex cells (egg and sperm)

Chromosomes that form a pair and are found together are called homologous chromosomes, and they are inherited from each parent. During prophase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged. <u>It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.</u>

After that, during the anaphase of meiosis I, the two chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane of the cell. Then, they are separated and each will go to a new daughter cell. So homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, <u>this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.</u>

Anybody know any pros and cons about spaceX’s environment
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Pros

Great benefits package! Healthcare mostly free for employees and lower cost for families. Free coffee, sodas, and some snacks. Break rooms and new and nice!

Cons

Privately own company comes at a cost in the aerospace industry. Long hours and weekends are mandatory. There seems to be a hierarchy in which you must move through in order to succeed for promotions. Outside experience is not has important as inside experience.
