Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Example Input: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of enamel matrix derivative on mRNA expression of markers related to periodontal healing.', 'Murine osteoprogenitor cells (MC3T3-E1) were grown for 12 and 16 days in mineralization media and stimulated with 100 microg/mL Emdogain (EMD). Cell cultures treated with 2% and 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) served as control. The mRNA expression of bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN), and runt-related protein 2 (Runx2) was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis.', 'Stimulation with EMD significantly (P < .01) enhanced mRNA expression of BSP up to 13.9-fold and of OPN up to 3.2-fold at day 16 compared with the 2% FCS control. The expression of mRNA for transcription factor Runx2 was not significantly changed.
Example Output: Does stimulation of osteoblasts with Emdogain increase the expression of specific mineralization markers?

Example Input: Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS) are crucial enzymes in DNA synthesis. In alveolata both enzymes are expressed as one bifunctional enzyme.', "Loss of this essential enzyme activities after successful allelic assortment of knock out alleles yields an auxotrophic marker in ciliates. Here the cloning, characterisation and functional analysis of Tetrahymena thermophila's DHFR-TS is presented. A first aspect of the presented work relates to destruction of DHFR-TS enzyme function in an alveolate thereby causing an auxotrophy for thymidine. A second aspect is to knock in an expression cassette encoding for a foreign gene with subsequent expression of the target protein.
Example Output: Does the bifunctional dihydrofolate reductase thymidylate synthase of Tetrahymena thermophila provide a tool for molecular and biotechnology applications?

Example Input: Insulin is a major post-prandial muscle-anabolic hormone. A substantial loss of skeletal muscle mass occurs in insulin-deprived diabetes and is reversed by insulin treatment. Myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle mass upregulated in several chronic catabolic conditions. Whether myostatin expression is altered in insulin-deprived diabetes is unknown. In spite of opposite effects on muscle mass the potential role of basal circulating insulin in the regulation of myostatin expression is also undetermined.', 'We measured (Northern Blot) myostatin transcript levels in muscle groups with different fiber composition in streptozotocin-diabetic male rats receiving one of the following treatments for eight weeks: (1) control (C); (2) diabetes without treatment (DM); (3) diabetes with once-daily slow-acting insulin treatment (INS).', 'INS normalized plasma insulin and prevented weight reduction observed in DM. In fast-twitch gastrocnemius muscle myostatin transcript levels were unchanged (P>0.4) in both DM and INS compared to C. Myostatin transcripts were not measurable in any group in slow-twitch soleus muscle.
Example Output:
Is myostatin expression altered by insulin deficiency and replacement in streptozotocin-diabetic rat skeletal muscles?
