The phrase "a cell that completes" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, technology, or data processing, where a cell is responsible for finishing a task or function.
Example: "In the spreadsheet, a cell that completes the calculation will automatically update the total when new data is entered."
Alternatives: "a cell that finalizes" or "a cell that fulfills".
Classically the cell of origin for a follicular NHL is considered to be the centrocyte of the germinal centre and involves a cell that has completed somatic hypermutation and class switching and is set on the next stage of development.
Either scenario, or a combination, is conceivable, since a cell that has completed the metastatic cascade has proven to be capable of dissemination into the circulation and of formation of a metastasis.
You could simply look through the bodies we dig up in the Arctic to see if we could find one that had a cell that still contained a nucleus with a complete, viable genome in it.
From the paired daughter cell tracking, we also found more HSCs present in the progeny of cells that completed a first division after >48 hr in culture (67% versus 16% for those that completed a first division in <48 hr; p = 0.007) and reached 100% for cells that did not divide until after 96 hr.
To control for this the reviewers suggest selecting cells at G1/S to represent cells that completed centromeric CENP-A assembly (100% centromere occupancy and minimal soluble pool) and late G2 or mitotic cells to represent cells with maximal nascent soluble pool, then perform the quantitation on these isolates.
In mammals, this particular sperm behavior observed in humans, mice, rabbits [1] and recently in bulls [2], is elicited by a small sperm subpopulation (∼10%) corresponding to those cells that completed the capacitation process a state that enable the spermatozoa to fertilize the egg [1].
We quantified the percentage of cells that completed cytokinesis, failed during constriction (defined as cells that build a CR but do not fully constrict it), or failed separation (defined as cells that fully constrict the CR but do not physically separate).
However, the majority of the generative cells irradiated at 40 and 80 Gy arrested at metaphase, and the number of generative cells that completed metaphase was 36 and 0 % after irradiation with 40 and 80 Gy, respectively (Fig. 2A).
Of course some of the cells complete mitosis, since the authors followed the outcome of divisions after their treatments, but the question is whether drug treatment has reduced and biased the proportion of cells that complete mitosis normally, which would significantly affect their conclusions.
Thus, although a tumor may have been derived from a cell that successfully completed the metastatic process, not all cells within such a tumor retain the capacity to colonize secondary sites due to random, or microenviromentally induced epigenetic events or inadequate access to vasculature.
