BIOB10H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Alpha Cell, Cholesterol, Beta Helix
Document Summary
Oligodendrocyte are there to coat the spinal. Oocyte is removed from females; the nucleus is taken from it then sematic cells are impeded on it. Ethical implication may be that we"re taking on things out of our reach. Some genes specific ones can stay as like stem cells meaning they won"t differentiate and they can be used to mimic the function of stem cells. This is a process called induced pluripotent stem cells. Specific genes taken and injected into somatic cells and then they are reprogramming into ips cells. Genes can also convert cells from one type into another. Beta cells are in our pancreases and they produce insulin. Since beta cells are lost, the genes from alpha cells can be differentiated into beta cells. The process to do this is called trans differentiation. There are three specific genes that are impeded into one gene to produce another type of gene.
