Cell Cycle
This phase of the cell cycle is characterized by cell growth and normal metabolic functions.
What is G1
These stem cells reside in specific “niches” and contribute to tissue repair and maintenance.
What are adult stem cells?
This type of stem cell is commonly used to regenerate new tissues in vitro.
What is an adult stem cell?
These two events can cause a cell to lose control over the cell cycle, leading to proliferation.
What are mutation and epigenetic change?
This cell wall structure is located between the cell membrane and cell wall in bacteria.
What is the periplasmic space?
The Cell Cycle Control System stringently regulates this important cell division event.
What is chromosome segregation?
These stem cells can differentiate into any cell type in the body, including the placenta.
What are totipotent stem cells?
This process serves to greatly increase the number of stem cells available for regeneration.
What is cell expansion?
This type of cell cycle control gene is normally OFF, which prevents cell division.
What is a proto-oncogene?
These cell wall structures are only present in Gram Positive bacteria.
What are teichoic and lipoteichoic acids?
This protein's levels fluctuate cyclically and activate kinases to regulate the cell cycle.
What is cyclin?
The stems cells that make up the three germ layers are referred to as this because of their ability to produce multiple cell types during differentiation.
What are multipotent stem cells?
This 3D printed biomatrix serves to provide a surface on which stem cells grow and differentiate in vitro.
What is a scaffold?
In this cellular process, the most aggressive cancer cells break free of the primary tumor.
What is metastasis?
These extra-chromosomal, circular DNA molecules carry non-essential genes.
What are plasmids?
At this primary checkpoint, the cell is assessed for size, environment, and whether or not all chromosomes have been duplicated.
What is the G2 Checkpoint?
Generating pluripotent stem cells from differentiated adult cells requires this process.
What is de-differentiation?
These tiny replica organs are replacing animal testing for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and in scientific research.
What is an organoid?
These diagnostic characteristics of a malignant tumor can be determined through biopsy and microscopic examination.
What is Grade and Stage?
This structural feature is only found in bacteriophage and is not present in eukaryotic viruses.
What is a tail assembly?
The p53 protein acts as a "guardian of the genome" and can trigger this process if DNA damage is irreparable.
What is apoptosis?
All body cells originate from this stem cell mass located in the fertilized egg.
What is the Blastocyst?
This regenerative medicine process regrows organs and tissue in their original location.
What is in situ?
Transplanting tumors into immune-negative mice for real-time drug testing is part of what program?
What is the PDX/Avatar Program?
Bacteriophage who use this like cycle can integrate their nucleic acid into the host cell chromosome and remain quiescent.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
