Chapter 4, Problem 2AYKA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of scleroderma disease, as in this disease excessive collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins are produced, and are deposited in tissues throughout the body.
Introduction:
The substances thatare present on the outer surface of the cells make the extracellular matrix. It contains collagen, enzymes, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoprotein. It provides structural and biochemical support around cells. This extracellular matrix can be a fluid, a thick gel, or a solid depending upon the tissues.

- I am creating a medical scaffold made out of TPU to surgically implant around the pancreas for diabetic patients. The scaffold will have have capsules of islet beta cells which will diffuse into the pancreas to create a functional pancreas. I will use the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique to determine the specific surface area and porosity of the scaffold material. In the context of the TPU scaffold, the BET technique will provide crucial insights into its porosity and its potential to facilitate the infusion of beta cells into the pancreas. Can you explain the expected/ideal results from the BET test and how the test will help the design process of this medical scaffold.arrow_forwardComplete each of the following with 2-3 sentences a) If you bake bread or brew beer, you depend on glycolysis for b) Two organs in your body that can use lactate arearrow_forwardFigures 4 and 5 are images of osteoblasts obtained with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) which allows much higher magnification than light microscopy.
