Researchers sought to grow blood vessels in a lab for implantation into patients with clogged coronary arteries. To avoid immune rejection, they wanted to grow vessels by starting with patients" own vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, most patients requiring coronary artery replacement are elderly, and their vascular SMCs do not divide often enough to grow a new vessel. To get around this problem, the researchers introduced into the cells the gene coding for a particular protein in a format through which the gene would be transcribed and the protein produced. What gene was introduced into the elderly patients' SMCs to allow continued cell divisions? O primase O telomerase ODNA polymerase O telomere capping protein O topoisomerase A

Tissue regeneration & repair

Tissue regeneration involves the restoration of tissue components by regrowth of damaged tissues. In contrast, tissue repair involves patching of injured tissue rather than restoring it. It is the proliferative capacity of the cells that decides the amount of regeneration against the repair that would occur in the tissue. Both regeneration and repair depending on the duration of the injury and response to the inflammation.
