MGY299Y1 Lecture Notes - Transdifferentiation, Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, Cloning
Document Summary
Stem cells can repopulate regenerate itself stem cells can restore entire organ or part of body, in. Transdifferentiation one cell can become another cell and that"s a theoretical definition realizing this is not clear exactly how much is feasible or whether that property is contained in some stem cells . Transdifferentiation some blood stem cells can be used to generate other organ type cells maybe some of the data wasn"t exactly intact or firmly established, so waned in literature. Do not know how transdifferentiation can be applied exocrine components in pancreas that excrete digestive enzymes both pancreatic cells some redirect exocrine to endocrine supply transcription factors . Opportunity to give autologous stem cell implanatation using own stem cells autologous kind of treatment not lead to immune response interesting opportunity if feasible. Stem cell elusive in that particular organ . Mitochondria uses respitatory chain to generate atp major advantage five protein complexes used to generate atp .
