Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4DQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether all the molecules considered being paracrine factors distributed solely by contact through filopodial cytoneme processes, as opposed to diffusion through the extracellular matrix.
Introduction:
Cytonemes are recently discovered thin, cellular projections involved in transferring projections between signaling and responding cells and be a major component of cell signaling.

How is it possible for the GABA activated chloride channel (GABA-A receptor) to switch the direction of ion flow during development? This occurs when the KCC2 transporter becomes active and transports chloride ions out of the cell to lower the chloride concentration inside the cell from 25mM to 4mM.
Explain your answer using thermodynamic principles of ion flow through ion channels (passive diffusion while the channel is open).
Hint: calculate deltaG (free energy change), R=8.315 J/mol *K, T=310K, F=96,500 J/(V*mol), membrane potential (delta psi) = -60mV (negative inside), Cl- concentration outside cell: 110mM

Describe the role of notch and delta in development. What is lateral inhibition?
The notch/delta signaling pathway is a good example of pathways which involve signal-induced protein cleavage. How does this process regulate notch/delta function?
We know quite a bit about Notch/Delta and Hes gene oscillations during embryonic development. What do oscillations of these genes in the adult neural stem cell niche actually look like? How do these oscillations result in the progression from stem cell to neuron?

- I am confused about how stem cell transplants works. If you put a semi differentiated tadpole nucleus in a denucleated egg cell, it’ll develop into a fully formed tadpole, but if you put a fully differentiated tadpole nucleus, it won’t (because the genes have already been expressed in a way where the cytoplasmic determinants cannot operate to the fullest). Then how come in stem cell transplants, you use adult nucleuses that are already developed and transplant them into the denucleated egg cells?arrow_forwardThe BMP-Nodal gradient so vital to amphibian and fish development may be critically important in other vertebrates (including humans) as well.

The development of a multicellular organ (such as the brain) from stem cells involves complicated processing.1,2 Proliferating stem cells undergo the fate decision process before developing into tissues or organs. This process is controlled and regulated by a signaling pathway network (called gene regulatory network).3 The network comprises pathways created by the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the cells, which form the signal transduction to control stem cell fate. There are various signal pathways that have been discovered and studied for tissue development and patterning, including Wnt signaling,4 Notch, and receptor tyrosine kinase.5–7 It has been suggested that cross-regulatory interactions between elements of the pathways (e.g., Wnt and Notch) affect the process of cell fate assignment.8,9 Most components of Wnt signaling have multiple interactions with other signaling pathways (e.g., Hippo/YAP and…arrow_forward
