The phrase "as intermediate cells" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, histology, or cellular studies to describe a specific type of cell in a process or structure.
Example: "The tissue sample revealed various types of cells, including those identified as intermediate cells, which play a crucial role in the development of the organism."
Alternatives: "in the role of intermediate cells" or "functioning as intermediate cells".
Basal cells represent a germinative zone which differentiates towards the lumen into a pre-maturation population defined as intermediate cells, and finally into fully differentiated superficial cells.
Here we report the identification of pre-HSCs and an embryonic type of HSCs (embryonic HSCs) as intermediate cells between ESCs and HSCs.
The remaining cells are Type III cells, sometimes referred to as "intermediate" cells.
A basal cell of origin has been suggested by a study of Pb-Cre4 PTENflox/flox Pb-Cre4 PTENflox/floxn expansion of basal cells as well as intermiceate cells.
They suggested that C8HSL acts first to stimulate luminescence at intermediate cell densities (as in cultures), activating luxR expression through the AinS/R route and also interacting directly with LuxR.
Connexin immunoreactivity was evident in the spiral limbus, spiral ligament (Fig. 3), as well as basal and intermediate cells of the stria vascularis (see Supplementary Material, Figs S2 and S3).
Some investigators claim that type III cells serve as the intermediate cells and receive input from more than one type II cell [ 71].
The proportion of elongated cells increased 2 fold, and there was a minor increase in the proportion of intermediate cells as well.
Subsequently, the stochastic two-mutation model of Moolgavkar and Venzon [ 2] generalized Knudson's model, by taking account of cell mortality at all stages as well as allowing for differential growth of intermediate cells.
The hair germ, which is a distinct epithelial structure separating the bulge from the dermal papilla, directly contributes to the follicular lineages of the next hair cycle and was recently considered as an intermediate cell population between bulge stem cells and bulb transient amplifying cells [29].
As an intermediate cell migrates through the basal layer, it differentiates into various terminally differentiated cell lineages of prostate epithelium.
