10) Most cells like to grow attached to a surface or to other cells. However, cancer cells break away from the mass and move through the bloodstream. This process is called A. Apoptosis B. angiogenesis C. metastasis D. density dependence
11) In class we discussed a drug that is used to treat cancer by blocking new blood vessel formation which feeds a tumor. This drug blocks __________________________ and is called __________________. A. spindle fiber formation; Taxol B. angiogenesis; Avastin C. MCF; methotrexate D. p53 mutation; Herceptin
12) Maraviroc is a drug developed to bind to ____________, based on research that showed that this receptor was necessary for HIV to enter the T cell. This receptor was also necessary for the agent of the Black Death to cause illness and death. A. CD4 B. hemagglutinin C. CCR5 D. gp120
Solution:
10) Option C is correct.
Most cells like to grow attached to a surface or to other cells.
However, cancer cells break away from the mass and move through the
bloodstream. This process is called metastasis.On other an
angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are formed.
Apoptosis is the mechanism of programmed cell death.
11) Option B is correct.
In class we discussed a drug that is used to treat cancer by
blocking new blood vessel formation which feeds a tumor. This drug
blocks angiogenesis and is called Avastin.
12) Option C is correct.
Maraviroc is a drug developed to bind to CCR5 based on research
that showed that this receptor was necessary for HIV to enter the T
cell. This receptor was also necessary for the agent of the Black
Death to cause illness and death.This drug is highly used in HIV
treatment and plays an important role of HIV entry inhibitor in the
body cell.
