with junctional EB‚ who have mutations in the gene expressing type XVII collagen. These revertant keratinocytes were used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells‚ which‚ in turn‚ could be differentiated into a keratinocyte lineage that created normal-looking skin layers not only in vitro but also in vivo in mice. Because the cells already expressed type XVII collagen‚ there was no need for genetic correction‚ thus avoiding many of the pitfalls that gene and cell therapies face during translation

Etienne‚ 2004). This form of MRSA is susceptible to antibiotics and has the same risk factors for acquisition/disease as nietliicillin-susceptibie S. amem (MSSA). Community-acquired MRSA shares similarities with MSSA owing to the presence of mecA; the gene that encodes the methicilliji-resistant penicillin-hinding protein (Buescher‚ 2005). Community-associated MRSA also carries the staphylococcal-virulence factor PVL. PVL-posidve commiinit)’-associated MRSA is easily transmissible not only between families

Synthesis Information and Heredity Q: How does information flow from DNA to RNA to direct the synthesis of proteins? WHAT I KNOW 13.1 What is RNA? 13.2 How do cells make proteins? 13.3 What happens when a cell’s DNA changes? 13.4 How do cells regulate gene expression? WHAT I LEARNED SAMPLE ANSWER: RNA is a nucleic acid that carries coded genetic information. SAMPLE ANSWER: SAMPLE ANSWER: The bases in DNA—A‚ T‚ G‚ and C—form a four-letter “alphabet” that writes the “words” of the genetic code.

Anorexia is one of the first consequences of this dis-ease. Anorexics are trying to restrict their diet to lose weight‚ even though they are already thin!
