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.
Question: What kind of systems have been developed to detect CSCs? Describe by giving examples.
Please explain in detail the main findings with your own words.
Of the genes in the microarray shown in the lower part of Figure 20.10, are most overexpressed or underexpressed in tumors from patients that remained cancer free for at least five years? Explain your reasoning.

- Why is it important to model cancer through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells ? Explain in detail the main findings.arrow_forwardYou treat some cancer cells with a new therapeutic that you hope will kill them. You run an MTT assay on the results and notice that the sample from the control cells (not treated with drug) turns purple upon addition of the MTT and the sample from the cells treated your drug are clear after adding MTT. As you walk down the hall to run your sample on the spectrophotometer, how are you feeling? (a) frustrated, (b) unsure, (c) excited. I understand that if the cell are alive, they will have functioning mitochondria, the mitochondria will be producing NADH and NADPH which will allow some enzymes in the cell to convert empty T which is colorless, into a colored form as and die. The colorelss means less dye with present, which means the less empty T was converted, meaning that we had less mitochondrial activity, which means we had less live cells. I think that the answer should be (a) frustrated. I am not sure if I am right. Glad if the expert advise.arrow_forwardGive detailed Solution with explanation needed....give correct solution. don't use Ai for answering this..arrow_forward
