Sentence examples for autonomous spread from inspiring English sources

Although metastasis has traditionally been described as the autonomous spread of renegade cells throughout the body, it is now becoming clear that this is no longer the case.

We hence conclude that autophagy in the MBs plays a crucial role in determining the non-cell autonomous spreading of memory-aversive synaptic phenotypes in the Drosophila brain.

Thus, autophagy suppression specifically in Pars Intercerebralis is obviously not sufficient for the observed non-cell autonomous spreading of synaptic phenotypes and a subsequent defect in memory formation.

To directly test whether MB-specific expression plays an essential role in the non-cell autonomous spreading of this synaptic phenotype in the Drosophila brain, we prevented atg-5 KD (via ok107-Gal4) in the MBs by simultaneously expressing a Gal4 repressor, Gal80, under control of an independent MB-specific promoter, mb247.

To assay for non-cell autonomous spreading of tasiRNA-mediated gene silencing within the shoot apex, we developed a ubiquitously expressed dsRed "sensor" transgene that contains a target site for ARF-regulating tasiRNAs in the 3'UTR with mismatches that resemble the endogenous tasiRNA binding site "A" in the ARF3 transcript [20].

One striking feature of gene silencing is that the silencing effects are non-cell autonomous and spread to neighboring cells.

Recent years have seen a tremendous surge of interest in the possibility that neurodegenerative diseases, including PD, could develop and progress via non-cell autonomous means, spreading by transcellular mechanisms with seeding and subsequent permissive templating, in a prion-like fashion.

But unlike nuclear weapons, whose components are traceable and relatively easy to monitor, "autonomous weapons" could spread quickly and fundamentally alter the character of warfare.

Figure 6: Autonomous motility during spreading of the embryonic DCL.

The Obama administration's latest proposed transportation budget, which included a $4 billion, 10-year plan to spread autonomous-vehicle technology, landed with a thud on Capitol Hill.

In February, the group launched a campaign targeting Elaine Chao and the Department of Transportation, which has billions of dollars set aside to subsidize the development and spread of autonomous vehicles.
