Historically, an important strategy for disrupting the adhesion of integrins to their ligands is by using a synthetic peptide that mimics the binding site on the ecm molecule to which the integrin attaches. in the case of fibronectin, the amino acid sequence is arginine-glycine-aspartate (when written using the single letter designation for each amino acid, this sequence becomes rgd). explain why addition of such synthetic peptides would disrupt binding of cells to their normal substratum.

One function of the immune system is to attack the foreign cells to protect the body. in organ translate , the body recongnizes that the new organ is made of foreign cells. wha kind of medicine would you give a patient to increase the chances of transplate success

Hormones are chemical molecules produced by endocrine glands. one such endocrine gland is the thyroid gland, which synthesizes the thyroid hormone, which in turn affects the heart muscles. which two statements describe the probable reason for the function of the hormone? the cells in the heart have specific receptors that allow for the intake of hormones. the heart and the endocrine glands have the exact same types of cells. all cells make the same types of hormones. thyroid hormones show their effect on the heart by means of specialized cells. thyroid cells and cardiac cells have different dna.
