Stem Cells and Schizophrenia

Click on the following link and read the article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130122162403.htm
The following question was posed by the doctor in this article "How is it possible to have 100 patients with schizophrenia and each one has a different genetic mutation that causes the disorder?"
Answer the following questions:
1) What are Stem Cells
2) What is INFS
3) What is the cause for 100 patients having different genetic mutations that cause this disorder and what word or words signal that a cause and effect is about to take place in the upcoming sentences

  1. 1) Stem cells are what people are born with that help mend parts of the body when damaged
    2) INFS stands for Integrative Nuclear FGFR 1 Signaling. It is a point for multiple pathways of as many as 160 different genes.
    3) It is because INFS sends neurological signals that control the developement of the stem cells and the progenitor cells.

  2. 1) A cell that can change with any kind of cell or shape

    2)INFS is a central intersection point for multiple pathways for 160 different genes involved in the disorder.

    3)INFS integrates diverse neurological signals in control of the development of embryonic stem cells.

  3. 1)Stem cells are cells that can change into a different
    2)INFS is is a infection point for multiple pathways.
    3)the reason for 100 patients having different different genetic mutations is that INFS integrates diverse neurological cells. And this causes the cells to divide and cause the mutation

    1. I don't think its an infection, however you did a pretty good job of explaining everything else.

  4. Stem Cells is a cell that can change into any kind of cell. INFS is Integrative Nuclear FGFR 1 Signaling. It's possible because INFS controls the Stem Cells.

    1. Never really explained to me what INFS does. Never assume that reader knows. I am grading on how well you explain it.

  5. Stem Cells are cells that are capable to change into any cell it wants to. INFS is a central point for many pathways as many as 160 differnt genes involved in this disorder. The cause for 100 patients having different genetic mutations that cause this disorder is because INFS sends different signals that control the development of embryonic stem cell, and links the pathways involving schizophrenia-linked genes. The word that signals that a cause and effect is about to take place is the word "and."

    1. This sentence makes no sense: word that signals that a cause and effect is about to take place is the word "and."
      If you are going to copy and paste a response understand what the statement is implying. I don't because you didn't explain it to me.

  6. Stem cells are cells that can change into another cell. INFS controlls the developement of the brain. Nuerological signs that control the developement of embryonic stem cell.

    1. A little incomplete. Didn't answer the third part of the question.

  7. A stem cell is a cell that is capable of becoming a different. is a central intersection point for multiple pathways for 160 different genes involved in the disorder. It is because Integrative Nuclear FGFR 1 Signaling are neurological signals that control the developement of the stem cells and the progenitor cells.

    1. You said "A stem cell is a cell that is capable of becoming a different" A different what is the question?

  8. Stem cells are cells taht are capable to change into different cells. INFS is a central intersection point for different pathways of as many 160 different genes believed to be involved in the disorder. Is an alternation or mutation in a one Schizophrenia-gene, the INFS system that controls developed of the brain becomes untuned like a instrument. Neurological signals that controls development of embryonic system stem cell neural progenitor cells.

    What is the cause for 100 patients having different genetic mutations? Its possible INFS intergrates diverse neurological signals that control the development of embryonic stem cell and neural progenitor cells and links pathways involving schizophrenia linked genes. Stem cells are cells that are capable of becoming another cell. And INFS is Intergrative Nuclear

    1. Good start however you needed to rearrange your sentence structure. Secondly you never really explained what INFS's function.
