The phrase "almost total cell" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in a context discussing cellular structures or functions, but clarity is essential.
Example: "The experiment revealed an almost total cell collapse under extreme conditions."
Alternatives: "nearly complete cell" or "virtually total cell".
This was accompanied by increased nuclear fragmentation and reduced cell survival after recovery resulting in almost total loss of cell viability.
Western blots for TG2 in Figure 4A depicted that TG2 protein level is almost similar in total cell extracts prepared from resveratrol-treated or -untreated SHYTG2 and Panc-28 cells present near and away from the scratch.
In Parg −/− ES cells, we observed increased caspase activity and almost total suppression of enhanced cell death by the caspase inhibitor ZVAD.
The almost total arrest in lung cell proliferation by prolonged (24 h) ventilation was confirmed by anti-PH3 immunochemistry (PH3-positive cells decreased from 8 to 1% of total).
We show here (and Lindvall et al, 2006) that loss of Lrp5 generates the reciprocal phenotype – slower ductal outgrowth, the accumulation of peri-senescent cells (of both lineages), almost total depletion of adult regenerative cells from the ductal tree, a reduced proportion of basal cells compared to luminal, and increased expression of the TAp63 isoform, associated with senescence.
In the study of bioactivity of the original drug doxorubicin, we revealed experimentally that its solution in saline at the concentration of 0.5 mg/mL resulted in almost total death of yeast cells (95 %) for 3.5 days.
Here we demonstrate for the first time that Mn2+-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles of c.a. 70 nm act as effective agents for photothermal therapy under two-photon excitation with an almost total eradication of malignant cells (97 and 98%) at a concentration of 100 μg mL−1 24 h after NIR excitation.
Clear evidence for this can be seen by the almost total absence of CD25+CD4+ cells in IL-2-deficient mice.
The maternal-fetal interface in creta placentas was characterized by endometrial/myometrial/perimetrial hemorrhage, leukocyte infiltration, areas of leakage and necrosis, and almost total absence of decidual cells.
As for non-adherent cells, ASS-positive cells demonstrated almost total resistance to the anti-proliferative effects of ADI-PEG20, whereas a relative decrease in proliferation was again observed in ASS-deficient cells following ADI-PEG20 treatment.
