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.”

I HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE T-REX
zavuch27 [327]

1.) The name of my organism is the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

2.) The T-Rex went extinct 65 million years ago when the meteor hit the earth.

3.) We couldn't have done anything about this.

4.) The T-Rex lived mainly in North America and Aisa, in forests with plant-eating dinosaurs.

5.) The T-Rex was tall and stood on 2 legs. the other legs were usually up off the ground for eating its prey. I had really sharp teeth for eating meat.

How would you distinguish pseudostratified columnar epithelium from all other tissues?.
inn [45]

Psuedo  functions mostly absorption and filteration processes.

<h3>What is the advantage of psuedostratified epithelium? </h3>

The lungs are shielded from these irritants by the existence of pseudostratified columnar epithelium in the upper respiratory tract, which is made up of the nose, trachea, and bronchi. To capture particles and stop them from moving farther down the respiratory passages, the epithelium's goblet cells release mucus.

The psuedostratified has too many layers and it is made up of columnar epithelial tissue.

Is DNA synthesized continually during the cell cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]
  <span>No 
DNA is synthesized in the middle part of Interphase, which is usually denoted S in the series G1 - S - G2  </span><span>"There are 3 stages of interphase: G1 in which the cell grows and functions normally. Once it grows too large it enters the synthesis (S) phase. In S phase the cell makes exact copies of its DNA. It is now ready for G2 phase where it makes sure all of its chromosomes and organelles are ready for mitosis."</span>

How is the cycling of matter and energy similar?
romanna [79]

Answer: As matter cycles and energy flows through living systems and between living systems and the physical environment, matter and energy are conserved in each change. The carbon cycle provides an example of matter cycling and energy flow in ecosystems.
