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.
1) What is the importance and advanatge of detecting CSCs?
2) What kind of systems have been developed to detect CSCs? Describe by giving examples.
Please explain in detail with your own words.

Compare wild-type Listeria with the ActA mutant. If the watermelon seed is Listeria and your fingers are a comet tail, what would the outcome be when squeezing your fingers when using wild-type Listeria, what would you expect when using the mutant?

- 3) What specific proteins might be targeted for up- or downregulated adsorption when designing an implantable material? Please list at least two for each.arrow_forwardThe figure from Moore (2020) shows a G protein-coupled receptor in a membrane. Note that "out" means outside the cell and "in" means facing the cytoplasm. The three amino acids "DRY" in loop I2 are required for protein targeting. What is the name of this kind of sequence, and what is its function? What protein targeting sequence is no longer included in this diagram? Why? The sequence "QXXNK" (where X is any amino acid) found in loop I3 has been identified based on its enzymatic activity. What is this activity? What particular domain would you expect to find in either Loop E1, E2, or E3? The gene that codes for this protein is a member of a family of genes that has arisen over evolutionary time. If you compared several of the genes in this family, would you expect their sequences to be most homologous (similar) in the region you describe in #3 above or #4 above? Why?arrow_forwardBased on the NCBI Blastp and reciprocal analysis, are there any mutations to suggest that mus musculus is a good model to test the human FGFR3 gene. This is the only model we have to go off of to predict whether a mouse is suitable. I can’t seem to grasp what exactly I’m suppose to look for in these two photos.arrow_forward
