Sentence examples for basal surface of cells from inspiring English sources

The appearance of dome-shaped blisters suggested that fluid transport from the apical to basal surface of cells might be occurring.

Low level podocalyxin could establish apical domains and force integrins to the basal surface of cells, thereby enhancing cell adhesion, while increased podocalyxin could strongly induce microvillus formation, depleting basolateral actin and disrupting integrin mediated adhesion.

Basement membranes (BMs) underlie the basal surface of epithelial cells and endothelial cells and surround the entire surface of adipocytes and muscle cells as a sheet-like structure.

Phosphorylcholine is also a prominent part of the cell wall of S. pneumoniae and specifically binds to PAFR expressed on human respiratory epithelial cells, which facilitates pneumococcal entry into these cells and transcytosis to the basal surface of endothelial cells [ 11].

In monolayers just beginning to reach confluency (referred to as "sub-confluent" from now on), both VECad and NCad showed discontinuous staining at cell-cell contacts; NCad was also distributed over the apical and basal surface of the cells.

Within the clusters, SHH protein was detected only on the basal surface of the cells, i.e. the surface limiting the clusters and surrounding cells, indicating polarized secretion outside the clusters (Fig.  4a).

In the normal adult breast, α6 and β4 integrins are primarily expressed on the basal surface of myoepithelial cells, where they anchor the underlying basement membrane, and are weakly expressed at the basolateral surface of luminal cells [ 41].

At the basal surface of the cells, the microtubules formed a meshwork-like structure and no striking differences in organization between MCF10A and MCF10A CDH1-/ cells were observed.

In areas near (0 4 µm from) the basal surface of the cells and between all other groups, no significant differences in shear stress are observed (Fig. 4b,c).

Furthermore, all cells in a culture well are exposed to the same biochemical milieu, unlike physiologic conditions where gradients of signaling molecules in different anatomic locations typically are presented to the basal surface of endothelial cells [19], [20].

It is also interesting to speculate that the recruitment of f-actin to the apical membrane for microvillus formation might deplete actin from the basal surface of these cells [19] and thereby prevent stable interactions between integrins and the extracellular matrix.
