The pattern of which genes are
expressed in a given cell is what distinguishes a neuron from, say, a liver cell.

A large body of research has reported that Nanog is allelically regulated — that is, only one copy of the gene is
expressed at any
given time — and fluctuations
in its expression are responsible for the differences seen
in individual embryonic stem (ES)
cells» predilection to differentiate into more specialized
cells.
The widely accepted RNA - world theory posits that RNA — the molecule that today plays roles
in coding, regulating, and
expressing genes — elevated itself from the primordial soup of amino acids and cosmic chemicals, eventually to
give rise first to short proteins called peptides and then to single -
celled organisms.
In the study, Stephen Maricich and colleagues identified a subpopulation of Atoh1 - expressing cells in hair and whisker follicles within mouse skin that exclusively give rise to Merkel cells during development and adulthoo
In the study, Stephen Maricich and colleagues identified a subpopulation of Atoh1 -
expressing cells in hair and whisker follicles within mouse skin that exclusively give rise to Merkel cells during development and adulthoo
in hair and whisker follicles within mouse skin that exclusively
give rise to Merkel
cells during development and adulthood.
Glioblastoma
cells do not naturally produce NY - ESO - 1, so the drug decitabine is
given prior to injecting the NY - ESO - 1 targeting T
cells in order to cause the tumor
cells to
express the NY - ESO - 1 target.
When Lin engineered the telomerase -
expressing hepatocytes to die
in response to a chemical signal and
gave the mice with a liver - damaging chemical, he found that those animals
in which the telomerase
cells had been killed exhibited much more severe liver scarring than those
in which the
cells were functional.
However, this is unlikely
given that the frequency of
in - frame mutations remained stable over nearly four weeks
in culture, that there was no significant increase
in cell death between control cultures and those treated with X4 - ZFNs, and that the most common
in - frame mutant was not
expressed on the
cell surface and thus can not maintain functionality.
Chromatin structure plays an important role
in regulating what genes are created, or
expressed,
in a
given cell.
After implanting the tumor, they
gave the mice a drug to trigger the tumor
cells to
express the aquaporin reporter gene, which made the tumor look darker
in MRI images.
Positive clones were then differentiated using defined serum - free conditions outlined
in Ng, et al [7], which overall
gave rise to a CD45 + CD56 + CD117 − CD94 + population of cytotoxic NK
cells [8]
expressing the CD4 construct and other surface markers
in a similar manner to peripheral blood NK
cells.

Consequently only a small proportion of
cells in each epithelium
express any
given receptor, which makes their detection challenging.
