Question

How were stem cells used to heal JEB?

A)Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation
B)Hematopoietic stem cell infusion
C)Gene-corrected epidermal stem cell grafting
D)Induced pluripotent stem cell therapy

Answer 1

The correct option for using stem cells to heal JEB is gene-corrected epidermal stem cell grafting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The **correct option** for using stem cells to heal JEB is **C) Gene-corrected epidermal stem cell grafting**.

JEB, or Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa, is a genetic disorder that affects the skin's ability to adhere properly. Gene-corrected epidermal stem cell grafting involves taking a patient's own skin cells, correcting the gene mutation responsible for JEB, and then grafting the corrected cells back onto the patient's body. This approach aims to replace the faulty skin cells with healthy ones and promote proper skin adhesion.
