Q

When the follicle ruptures what happens

A

ovulation = release of egg into the fallopian tube and eventually turns into corpus lutem (secretes hormones to keep egg alive + pregnancy viable til placenta)

9
Q

Steps of fertilization

A

1) sperm breaks through corona radiata (if they have the correct proteins)
2) when that happens then the cortical granules enzymes break and the zona pellucida HARDENS to prevent multiple sperm from penetrating
3) second mitotic division happens once sperm hits
4) female and male pronuclei join

Q

identical twinning

A

Q

Inner cell mass (ICM) adopts 2 fates which are (a+b) and that together those make (c)

17
Q

epiblast gives rise to

A

3 germ layers

amnion membrane

18
Q

hypoblast gives rise to

A

yolk sac endoderm

19
Q

Trophoblast differentiates to

A

cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast

20
Q

cytotrophoblast

A

outer sac, portions of placenta

21
Q

syncytiotrophoblast

A

blood supply, seek out vasculature

22
Q

gastrulation

A

process of generating the 3 germ layers (from epiblast)

23
Q

How the germ layers form

A

epithelial cell fate changes (epithelial to mesenchymal transition EMT), primitive streak forms on surface

endoderm comes from epiblast via EMT –> migrates to bottom and displaces hypoblast

mesoderm comes from epiblast via EMT in the middle past the primitive streak

then the top becomes ectoderm

24
Q

ectoderm gives rise to

A

neural tube( brain, spinal cord), skin

25
Q

mesoderm gives rise to

A

internal connective tissue, tissue, muscle

26
Q

endoderm gives rise to

A

lines yolk sac–> gut

27
Q

totipotency

A

gives rise to ALL cells and placenta

28
Q

pluripotency

A

gives rise to all 3 germ layers

29
Q

multipotency

A

differentiate into multiple cells or tissues

30
Q

unipotency

A

differentiate into single cell type (ie. germline stem cells)

31
Q

Embryonic stem cell properties

A

infinite self renewal, pluripotent (can make all 3 germ layers), taking ICM out of blastocyst and putting in dish

ethical issues, technical issues

32
Q

Positives of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)

A

not using embryos–> eliminate ethical concerns

retains patient genetics (DNA)

easy and cost-effective

33
Q

How can you make iPSCs

A

4 yamanaka transcription factors

34
Q

3 ways 4 yamanaka TFs are put into cells

A

adenovirus transduction
retrovirus transduction
plasmid transfection

35
Q

Where are iPSCs most commonly derived from? and what two are commonly for kids

A

most common from fibroblasts (skin cells via punch biopsy)

kids: blood and urine

36
Q

why could isogenic lines be better than patient lines

A

genetically identical with the exception of disease gene((s), genome editing, so no genetic diversity confounding data

good for rare diseases

37
Q

benefit of patient lines

A

could study multigenetic disorders

38
Q

biomedical questions that could be addressed with iPSCs

A

modeling disease
drug safety
stem cell therapies

39
Q

teratomas

A

germ cell tumors that can form differentiated cell types –> have bones, limbs, hair, etc in abnormal locations

40
Q

organoids

A

clumps of stem cells grown in 3-D
