The phrase "a set of tissues" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a collection or package of tissues, typically for personal hygiene or cleaning purposes.
Example: "I always keep a set of tissues in my bag for when I need to wipe my hands or face."
Alternatives: "a pack of tissues" or "a bundle of tissues."
Although prices have not been fixed, a set of tissues like this can sell for $2,000 or more for laboratory use.
For another, according to Nina G. Jablonski, a professor of anthropology at Penn State University and author of "Skin: A Natural History," the definition of an organ is a set of tissues working together toward a common end and outfitted with an independent supply of blood and nerves.
To survey the Dync1i1 splicing pattern spatially and temporally in mouse, we extracted total RNA from a set of tissues: adult male and female: brain, spinal cord, ovary, testis, spleen, lung, kidney, heart, intestine, muscle, liver; and embryonic E17.5: whole embryos, brain and spinal cord.
Individuals from this group of sheep were used to assemble a set of tissues and DNA representing standard PRNP diplotypes for DNA testing.
Setups with paired samples are becoming increasingly relevant as experiments that use two or more measurement techniques for each patient, or study a set of tissues of each patient, are becoming more and more common.
The fuzzy terminology of tissue-specific expression that is frequently used to describe significant expression in a discrete tissue or a set of tissues, is therefore strongly biased by the sensitivity of computational and experimental methods (SCML1; WNK1 [ 28]).
Stephen Friend of Rosetta Inpharmatics, a subsidiary of Merck based in Kirkland, Washington, and his colleagues have analysed a set of tissue samples from 98 women who had suffered dramatically different fates after their first bouts of the disease.
The spectral imaging system was tested on a set of tissue mimicking liquid phantoms which yielded an optical property extraction accuracy of 6.40 +/- 7.78% for the absorption coefficient (micro(a)) and 11.37 +/- 19.62% for the wavelength-averaged reduced scattering coefficient (micro(s)').
A set of ∼30K unique sequences (UniSeqs) representing ∼19K clusters were generated from ∼98K high quality ESTs from a set of tissue specific non-normalized and mixed-tissue normalized cDNA libraries from the porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes.
In order to address this issue, we included in our on-line database a link to a set of tissue specific microarray results which can be visualized as a heat map.
Thus, class I gene expression is subject to two distinct regulatory pathways: constitutive tissue-specific levels of transcription are established by a set of tissue specific factors that maintain homeostatic activity; cytokine- and hormone-specific factors superimpose a dynamic regulation of transcription.
