What are the risks of stem cell transplantations?
In addition to the risk of a life-threatening infection following a stem cell transplant, patients receiving stem cells from donors risk serious complications from graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
Transplanted organs may be rejected in the type of immune response called?
Rejection of transplanted organs occurs in the type of immune response called "graft rejection". This occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and attacks it, leading to potential organ failure. Medications are often used to suppress this immune response and prevent rejection.
Can you tell where a cell ends and another begin?
Cells have very well definted boundaries. For animal cells, it is the cell membrane, and for plant cells it is the cell wall.
What is the aftercare of a stem cell transplantation?
Stem cells take up to three weeks to begin producing new cells or bone marrow, a process called engraftment. Until engraftment is complete, patients may bleed easily and are at risk for infections.
What are the cells that target the MHC proteins on another cell?
macrophages

Why does a patient's body is less likely to reject and allograft if it comes from a relative?
Because it is more likely that a relative will have the same MHCs (major histocompatibility complexes) on their cells. When immune cells patrol the body they will bind these complexes which tell them whether the cell they are binding is 'self" or "nonself". If they bind a MHC which they percieve as nonself, they may initate an immune response leading to rejection of the graft
Another name for body cell?
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
What types of risks are associated with cell therapy?
Patients undergoing cell therapy treatments which use cells transplanted from animals or other humans run the risk of cell rejection.
When does the cell divide into sister cells?
When the cells die out, it divides and create another cell
What is between cells and other cells?
The cells are separated one from another by cell walls, cell membranes or, for independent cells, the medium.

What illness can result in a Graft VS Host disease?
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can occur after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant, where the transplanted donor cells attack the recipient's tissues. It is a potentially serious complication that can develop in various types of transplants, including those for leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders.

Stem cells take up to three weeks to begin producing new cells or bone marrow, a process called engraftment. Until engraftment is complete, patients may bleed easily and are at risk for infections.
What is another name for a battery?
another name for a battery is a cell a cell is one battery and a battery is a two or more cells or batteries
What was Virchow's contribution to the cell theory?
" all cells arise from cells". This means cells reproduce by cells. He also hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. He also proposed that every cell came from a cell that already existed. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory.
