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
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion topic: molec bio - cell signaling 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?
