These single - celled microbes share many
characteristics with human cells, but they can be rapidly grown in great numbers in a flask or petri dish, and they have a life cycle and genome that make their genetics easier to study.

NeuroStemcell is focused on the identification and systematic comparison of progenitor
cell lines
with the most favourable
characteristics for mesDA and striatal GABAergic neuronal differentiation, generated either directly from
human embryonic stem (ES)
cells, from Neural Stem (NS)
cells derived from ES
cells or fetal brain, from induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS)
cells or from in vitro short - term expanded neural progenitors from ventral midbrain grown as neurospheres (VMN, Ventral Midbrain Neurospheres) 4, and perform rigorous and systematic testing of the most prominent candidate
cells in appropriate animals models.

characteristics accumulate during normal aging as well as in younger persons infected
with human immunodeficiency virus, suggesting that the process of replicative senescence is not an artifact of
cell culture but is also occurring in vivo.

Year 6 Science Assessments and Tracking Objectives covered: Describe how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable
characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals Give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific
characteristics Identify and name the main parts of the
human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood Recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function Describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including
humans Recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution Recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye Explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them Associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer
with the number and voltage of
cells used in the circuit Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on / off position of switches Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
