What else can I help you with?
Certain stem cells in the eye can differentiate into only a few types of all cells.what kind of stem cell is used?
The stem cells in the eye that can differentiate into a limited range of cell types are called progenitor cells. Specifically, retinal progenitor cells can develop into different types of retinal cells, such as photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cells. These cells are crucial for retinal development and repair, but they have a more restricted differentiation potential compared to pluripotent stem cells.
What is the normal function of the retinal blastoma gene?
tumor suppresser gene which codes for a protein that regulates E2F protein which is a cell cycle controller
What causes the death of retinal cells in retinitis pigmentosa?
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) primarily leads to the death of retinal cells due to mutations in genes essential for the function and survival of photoreceptors, the light-sensitive cells in the retina. These genetic defects disrupt the normal phototransduction process and result in the accumulation of toxic byproducts, leading to oxidative stress and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Over time, this progressive degeneration affects both rod and cone photoreceptors, ultimately resulting in vision loss. Additionally, secondary effects on other retinal cells, such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, can exacerbate the condition.
What kind of eye stem cells can only differentiate into a few types of eye cells?
Restricted potency eye stem cells, such as retinal stem cells, can differentiate into a limited number of cell types specific to the eye, like photoreceptors or retinal pigment epithelium cells. These cells have a more limited differentiation potential compared to pluripotent stem cells.
What is another name for the cell cycle?
Another name for the cell cycle is cell division cycle.
What does a retinal cell do?
i dont knw
What is the name of the vitamin A compound that is active in the visual response?
Retinal
Do the axons of retinal ganglion cells form the optic nerve?
Yes. The Retinal Ganglion Cell axons form the optic nerve.
Which is larger retinal arteries or retinal veins?
Retinal veins are larger than retinal arteries. Retinal veins are between 2/3 to 3/4 times larger than the arteries of the retina. Retinal vein are also darker red then the arteries.
What has the author David Allcutt written?
David Allcutt has written: 'Retinal ganglion cell reaction to optic nerve crush'
What are the causes of retina bleeding?
Retinal bleeding can be caused by conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, and high blood pressure. Trauma to the eye or certain systemic diseases like sickle cell anemia can also lead to retinal bleeding. It is important to seek prompt medical attention if you experience any symptoms of retinal bleeding.
What is the name of the deve reads the blood vessel patterns in the back of the eye?
Retinal scanner
What conditions is retinal cryopexy used to treat?
retinal breaks or detachments; retinal ischemia (retinal tissue that lacks oxygen); neovascularization (proliferation of blood vessels in the retina); Coats' disease
What so retinal and unsaturated fatty acids have in common?
According to a study performed and published by the NCBI, saturated fats are essential to retinal growth. Unsaturated fats do not have enough fat to support proper brain and retinal function in infants.
What is retinal vein occlusion?
Retinal vein occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal vein that drains the retina or to that of one of its branches.
In the body carotenes are stored in the liver to be transformed into?
In the body carotenes are stored in the liver to be transformed into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is the name of a group of fat soluble retinoids: retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and retinal esters.
What is the normal function of the retinal blastoma gene?
tumor suppresser gene which codes for a protein that regulates E2F protein which is a cell cycle controller
