In his transformation experiments, what phenomenon did Griffith observe?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. Mixing a heat-killed pathogenic strain of bacteria with a living nonpathogenic strain can convert some of the living cells into the pathogenic form.

  2. Mixing a heat-killed nonpathogenic strain of bacteria with a living pathogenic strain makes the pathogenic strain nonpathogenic.

  3. Infecting mice with nonpathogenic strains of bacteria makes them resistant to pathogenic strains.

  4. Mice infected with a pathogenic strain of bacteria can spread the infection to other mice.

Process

Definition

a. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition

i. The phenomenon, whereby cells

intercalate to narrow the tissue and at the same time lengthen it.

b. De-adhesion

ii. The process in which cells that had formerly been part of an epithelium lose their attachments and become individual, migrating cells.

c. Permissive interaction

iii. The cadherins that couple epithelial cells together are degraded, thereby allowing the cells to become free from their neighbors.

d. convergent extension

iv. The responding tissue has already been specified and needs only an environment that allows the expression of these traits.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

all tissue types possess a unique stem cell niche, and despite many differences among the niche architecture of different tissues, several common principles of stem cell regulation can be applied to all environments. These principles involve extracellular mechanisms leading to intracellular changes that regulate stem cell behavior.

Column A

Column B

I. Extracellular regulatory mechanisms

i. Regulation by endocrine, paracrine, or juxtacrine mechanisms

II. Intracellular regulatory mechanisms

ii. Regulation by a network of transcription factors

iii. Epigenetic regulation

iv. Regulation by cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesions

v. Regulation by cytoplasmic determinants

Match the following regulatory mechanism (column A) with the factors that regulate stem cell behavior (column B).
