Sto cell line?

The STO cell line is a mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line commonly used in research settings for various applications, including the maintenance and propagation of embryonic stem cells. STO cells are known for their ability to support the growth and pluripotency of stem cells in culture due to their feeder layer properties, making them a valuable tool in regenerative medicine and cell biology research.


What does the t cells and b cells do?

T cells are part of the immune system and help identify and destroy infected or abnormal cells in the body. B cells produce antibodies that help to neutralize pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, that have entered the body. Both T cells and B cells play crucial roles in the body's immune response.


How plants stand erect in air and their soft tissues remain firm?

Plants have specialized cells called turgor cells that help maintain their structural integrity. These cells use osmotic pressure to keep the cell wall rigid, allowing the plant to stand erect. The presence of structural molecules like cellulose in the cell wall also provides support.


What does T in T cells stand for?

The T in T-cells stands for the thymus gland. Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow are either become B-cells or they are matured in the thymus gland and are "trained" to be either Natural Killer T-cells, CD4 (Helper T-cells), CD8 (Suppressor T-cells).


Why does a withering plant stand up when you give it water?

When a plant withers, it's usually due to dehydration or lack of water, causing its cells to lose turgidity and become limp. When you water the plant, the cells absorb the water and regain their turgidity, causing the plant to stand up again as the cells become firm and upright. This process is a result of the plant's ability to regulate water uptake and maintain its structural integrity.
