The phrase "altered cells" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, medicine, or genetics, referring to cells that have been changed or modified in some way.
Example: "The researchers observed the effects of the drug on altered cells to determine its efficacy."
Alternatives: "modified cells" or "changed cells".
Alternatives to GM mice lie in the use of genetically altered cells and tissues or donated human diseased tissue.
They cleared the patient's marrow of diseased cells using chemotherapy, then reintroduced the genetically altered cells into the bloodstream what is known as an autologous transplant.
One way to make transgenic rats would be to clone them from genetically altered cells.
First suggested by Slaughter and colleagues, field cancerization is the development of a field of genetically altered cells in the context of a tissue.
The availability of genetically altered cells is an essential prerequisite for many scientific and therapeutic applications including functional genomics, drug development, and gene therapy.
To better study the protein, the researchers made genetically altered cells in which expression of Mbd3 can be turned off and on.
In addition to mutagenic mechanisms, chemicals may heritably alter cells by epigenetic mechanisms and enhance the clonal expansion of altered cells.
Recognizing that the pursuit of stress-altered cells was well outside his area of expertise, he hoped to hire someone who could help.
With their stress-altered cells, Vacanti and Obokata thought they had made a discovery significant enough to publish in a top-tier journal.
With the help of his cloning expertise, they hoped to create a chimera, a mouse grown from stress-altered cells injected into a host embryo — a spectacular show of the cells' developmental potency.
Importantly, insertional mutagenesis could be used to generate pools of randomly genetically-altered cells or organisms for forward genetics applications.
