8.      Fig 22-41 Cultures of muscle. Single cells, then myotubes, then striated muscle. Looks something like our tissue cultures of muscle

9.      22-47 We had some cells in culture that looked like this with large vacuoles

10.    Fig 22-58 Neural stem cells in adult brain normally replace aged or damaged cells

11.    Doubt cast on adult stem cell plasticity

12.    It is really cell fusion and hybridization when adult neural stem cells  are mixed with embryonic stem cells

13.    Having the beta-gal in muscle cell does not prove that adult neural cells became muscle

14.    Bone marrow-ESC hybrid cells became a tumour in the spleen which contained chondrocytes, striated muscle, glands

15.    Embryoid bodies also became heart muscle, nerve, endoderm

16.    Hematopoietic stem cells can also become liver, lung, heart,

17.    Figure 19.2  The Pole Plasm of Drosophila

18.    Pole plasm is a collection of mtochondria, fibrils and polar granules

 

19.    Polar granules contain RNA for germ cell-less which is made by follicle cells and transported into egg

 

20.    The message is translated in early cleavage and enters nucleus and essential for germ cell formation

 

21.    Oskar  mRNA also present, if moved causes germ cell formation there

 

22.    Nanos also imprtant for correct migration of germ cells into gonads, and helps prevent gene transcription during germcell formation

23.    Mitochondrial rRNA can restore ability to make pole cells, occurs outside mitochondria in pole plasm

 

24.    Also polar granule component RNA necessary since antisense RNA can cause failure of germ cells to migrate to gonads

30.    Germ plasm contains many of same componaents as fly. The germ plasm is tethered to yolkmass of veg cortex which move in the cortical rotation, then move in clusters due to kinesin and MT. UV prevents this. May inhibit transcription and taranslation preventing differentitation. Then moves up the cleavage furrow to the inside area and will become lodged in cells lining blastocoel. Later in larva in post gut and migrate along mesentery to gonad

31.    Retinoic acid, thyroxin, steroids are recognized by steroid hormone receptor family which bind to DNA after the hormone

38.    Both paternal and maternal genomes are required for normal development due to imprinting

39.    Imprinting occurs during germ cell formation-genes on in sperm for yolk sac and placenta, off in females; some genes required for development on in eggs, not sperm. Erased and reimprinted in next generation germ cell production

40.    DNA methylation may be involved in imprinting. IGF-2 and IGF-2r
