Why is it important to model cancer through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells ? Explain in detail the main findings.
Tumor-suppressor genes are normal human genes that prevent uncontrollable cell growth. Starting with a normal laboratory humancell line, describe how you could use transposon tagging to identifytumor-suppressor genes. (Note: When a TE hops into a tumorsuppressorgene, it may cause uncontrolled cell growth. This is detected as a large clump of cells among a normal monolayer of cells.)
Why is it important to model cancer through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells ? Explain in detail the main findings. Please sort as a list.
Why is it important to model cancer through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells ? Please list item by item. Explain in detail the main findings.
Which of the following statements correctly describes a characteristic of tumor-suppressor gene? a) they are frequently overexpressed in cancerous cells. b) they are cancer-causing genes introduced into cells by viruses. c) they encode proteins that help prevent uncontrolled cell growth. d) they often encode proteins that stimulate the cell cycle.
One major goal of modern cancer therapy is toidentify small molecules—anticancer drugs—that canbe used to inhibit the products of specific cancer-criticalgenes. If you were searching for such molecules, wouldyou design inhibitors for the products of oncogenes orthe products of tumor suppressor genes? Explain why youwould (or would not) select each type of gene.
Discuss the complete cell cycle in a human cell, mitosis and meiosis, and the regulatory components (i.e. the proteins associated with cellular checkpoints) of the cell cycle. Tumor growth results when the cell cycle checkpoints are ignored. Give an example of how tumor growth could result from either a loss-of-function or a gain-of-function mutation.
Describe error prone polymerases and the process of translesion synthesis (TLS). In regards to tumor biology, what is the mutator phenotype hypothesis? What are some ways in which error-prone polymerases could be targeted for potential anti-cancer treatments?

A current focus of molecular medicine is to trigger or promote apoptosis of specific cells. several components of the apoptotic pathways are being targeted using this approach. for each of the following, state specifically how the treatment would be expected to stimulate or inhbit apoptosis. b. exposing cells to recombinant TRAIL protein, a ligand for thr tumor necrosis factor family of receptors
One important biological effect of a large dose of ionizing radiation is to halt cell division. What might be the effects of such a mutation if the cell is not irradiated?
