Organisation and model systems

3 important questions on Organisation and model systems

What triggers regeneration and what distinguishes it from normal differentiation pathway?

MAPK activation leads to phosphorylation of ERK —> p-ERK translocates to the nucleus — > expression of target genes

If generic wound healing signals are the prerequisite for regeneration, then why doesn’t regeneration occur in all animals?

ERKi blocks regeneration. With wounds signals, regeneration is induced.

Tools to target signaling pathways

  1. Microfluidics
  2. Optogenetics
  3. Temperature modulation 

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
