Sentence examples for cell competence from inspiring English sources

In the mouse intestine, a population of equipotent stem cells competes for contact with the Paneth cells, which provide a short-range stem cell competence signal (Sato et al., 2011).

Under adiabatic conditions, the rise of cell temperature causes a decrease in reversible voltage, deteriorating the overall cell competence.

Specificity of this test was demonstrated and its usefulness appeared directly dependent on conditions supporting hepatic cell competence.

The identification of multiple roles for Math5 provides new insights into the gene network that defines progenitor cell competence in the embryonic retina.

Math5, a mouse homolog of the Drosophila proneural bHLH transcription factor Atonal, is essential in the developing retina to establish retinal progenitor cell competence for a ganglion cell fate.

Elucidating the mechanisms by which Math5 influences progenitor cell competence is crucial for understanding how specification of neuronal cell fate occurs in the retina and it requires knowledge of the downstream target genes that depend on Math5 for their expression.

One can assume that lactate effects on immune cells competence might be identical during sepsis.

Wg signaling provides mesodermal cells competence to respond to Ras signaling, in part through the requirement of Wg to maintain the expression of different components of the Ras pathway [55].

This observation mirrors those in populations with a high incidence of type 2 diabetes in which transition from hyperinsulinemic normal glucose tolerance to overt diabetes involves a large, rapid rise in glucose levels as a result of a relatively small further loss of acute β-cell competence (3).

This mirrors observations on populations with high incidence of Type 2 diabetes, in which transition from hyperinsulinaemic normal glucose tolerance to overt diabetes involved a further loss of acute β-cell competence 6, 7. Direct observation of the 13-year period leading up to diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes has recently provided insight into the time course of changes leading to diagnosis.

The foreign DNA fragments can recombine and replace homologous segments on the chromosome within the competent cell; thus, competence provides cells with a potent mechanism of horizontal gene transfer and access to the nutrients in extracellular DNA (Solomon and Grossman 1996).
