Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming01:29

Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming

2.7K
Reprogramming alters the gene expression in somatic cells, transforming them into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells over several generations. Scientists can reprogram cells by introducing genes for four transcription factors—Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) by viral or non-viral methods. These factors are also known as Yamanaka factors after Shinya Yamanaka, who first generated iPS cells using mouse skin cells. Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012...

Nuclear Stability03:18

Nuclear Stability

23.3K
Protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons, are packed together tightly in a nucleus. With a radius of about 10−15 meters, a nucleus is quite small compared to the radius of the entire atom, which is about 10−10 meters. Nuclei are extremely dense compared to bulk matter, averaging 1.8 × 1014 grams per cubic centimeter. If the earth’s density were equal to the average nuclear density, the earth’s radius would be only about 200 meters.

Nuclear Fusion02:45

Nuclear Fusion

33.9K
The process of converting very light nuclei into heavier nuclei is also accompanied by the conversion of mass into large amounts of energy, a process called fusion. The principal source of energy in the sun is a net fusion reaction in which four hydrogen nuclei fuse and ultimately produce one helium nucleus and two positrons.
A helium nucleus has a mass that is 0.7% less than that of four hydrogen nuclei; this lost mass is converted into energy during the fusion. This reaction produces about...

Non-nuclear Inheritance01:29

Non-nuclear Inheritance

23.3K
Most DNA resides in the nucleus of a cell. However, some organelles in the cell cytoplasm⁠—such as chloroplasts and mitochondria⁠—also have their own DNA. These organelles replicate their DNA independently of the nuclear DNA of the cell in which they reside. Non-nuclear inheritance describes the inheritance of genes from structures other than the nucleus.

Nuclear Export of mRNA02:31

Nuclear Export of mRNA

8.8K
Before mRNAs are exported to the cytoplasm, it is crucial to check each mRNA for structural and functional integrity. Eukaryotic cells use several different mechanisms, collectively known as mRNA surveillance, to look for irregularities in mRNAs. Irregular or aberrant mRNA are rapidly degraded by various enzymes. If a defective mRNA escapes the surveillance, it would be translated into a protein which would either be non-functional or not function properly. One of the primary irregularities in...

Nuclear Power02:36

Nuclear Power

9.5K
Controlled nuclear fission reactions are used to generate electricity. Any nuclear reactor that produces power via the fission of uranium or plutonium by bombardment with neutrons has six components: nuclear fuel consisting of fissionable material, a nuclear moderator, a neutron source, control rods, reactor coolant, and a shield and containment system.
Nuclear Fuels
Nuclear fuel consists of a fissile isotope, such as uranium-235, which must be present in sufficient quantity to provide a...

Summary

Interspecific Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (ISCNT) shows promise for endangered species conservation but faces significant challenges. Current research is preliminary, with low cloning efficiency and critical issues like DNA compatibility needing further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive biology
  • Conservation genetics
  • Developmental biology

Background:

  • Interspecific Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (ISCNT) is explored as a conservation tool for endangered species.
  • Existing studies on ISCNT provide preliminary and often unclear results regarding embryonic development.
  • The term ISCNT is frequently misused, as donor cells and oocytes often originate from different taxonomic orders or classes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze all published data on ISCNT, including conference abstracts.
  • To critically evaluate the current status and challenges of ISCNT for endangered animal conservation.
  • To propose solutions for improving the success rate of ISCNT.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of ISCNT studies.
  • Classification of ISCNT reports based on taxonomic relatedness of cell and oocyte donors.
  • Analysis of key hurdles in ISCNT, including nuclear reprogramming, DNA compatibility, and foster mother availability.

Main Results:

  • ISCNT research is in its early stages with inconsistent findings on embryonic development.
  • Low cloning efficiency is attributed to incomplete nuclear reprogramming.
  • Significant challenges include mitochondrial-genomic DNA compatibility, embryonic genome activation, and suitable surrogate mothers.

Conclusions:

  • ISCNT application for endangered species requires addressing critical issues beyond basic SCNT procedures.
  • Clarifying taxonomic classifications in ISCNT studies is essential.
  • Further research is needed to overcome hurdles related to genetic and developmental incompatibilities for successful application.
