Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 4S
Assume you have the factors in hand necessary to reprogram an adult cell, and the factors necessary to induce differentiation to any cell type. How could these be used to replace a specific damaged tissue in a human patient?

The best strategy for treating a specific type of human tumor can depend on identifying the
type of cell that became cancerous to give rise to the tumor. For some tumors that have
colonized a distant location (metastasized), identifying the parental cell type can be difficult.
Because the type of IF protein expressed is cell-type-specific, using monoclonal antibodies that
react with only one type of IF protein can help in this identification. What IF proteins would you
produce monoclonal antibodies against to identify (a) a sarcoma of muscle cell origin, (b) an
epithelial cell carcinoma, and (c) an astrocytoma (glial cell tumor)?
Cellular reprogramming and induced pluripotent stem cells have allowed scientists to model various diseases and screen drugs in these in vitro models. Please select a disease (like cancer) that can be modeled through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. You can use published literature and explain:1) why is it important to model such a disease?2) what were the key findings after modeling such a disease? 3) a drug that has been screened in this disease model. Explain in detail the main findings.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. There are many biomedical engineering based approaches to detect CSCs.
Question: What is the importance and advantages of detecting CSCs? Make a list of it. Thank you.

What effect would this mutation have on an immature unspecialized blood cell precursor found in the bone marrow? The cell would not be able to reproduce itself. The cell would complete the cell cycle using cyclins in the absence of CDKS. The cell would be able to replicate its DNA but not translate DNA into RNA. The cell would be able to enter mitosis but not complete it. The cell would still phosphorylate the CDK-associated target proteins, and would do so more quickly.arrow_forward
