Use the Stem Cell Basics website to describe the differences between totipotent, pleuripotent and multipotent stem cells.<\/p>\n
Describe the origin and characteristics of embryonic stem cells (ES cells). <\/p>\n
Describe the origin of and characteristics of adult stem cells.<\/p>\n
Describe the origin of and characteristics of induced pleuripotent cells (iPCs).<\/p>\n
c-myc is considered to be an oncogene. What is a possible drawback for using this particular gene to create iPCs?<\/p>\n
Describe how iPCs are different from ES cells.<\/p>\n
What is the main advantage of using iPCs over IVF (in vitro fertilization) ES cells?<\/p>\n
What are the advantages and disadvantages of generating ES cells using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)?<\/p>\n
Describe how iPCs are different from adult stem cells.<\/p>\n
Are iPCs currently used for treating diseases?<\/p>\n
Do a quick search, are ES cells or adult stem cells currently being used for treating diseases?<\/p>\n
Which type of stem cell is best to use for treating disease? What needs to be addressed before any of these stem cells are widely used?<\/p>\n
The technology to grow ES cells in culture was developed in 1998. What was the main limiting factor in ES cell research up until 2009? What is the situation today?<\/p>\n
p53 was found to limit iPC generation. Why would suppressing p53 enhance the efficiency of iPC generation? Why would it be appropriate for p53 be added back to the iPCs after they have been made?<\/p>\n
Define an organoid. What is it made from? What kinds of things might organoids be used for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
