Sentence examples for cell projection from inspiring English sources

Confocal planes covering the whole cell (projection of twenty five z-planes; z-spacing, 1 µm) were projected, using the maximum-intensity-projection module of Huygens software (SVI, Hilversum, Netherlands).

Moreover, new data show that a mesenchymal cell projection penetrates the basal lamina of epithelial stem cells.

Instead, transport of BMPs at the contact site between a mesenchymal cell projection and an epithelial cell appears to be more probable (Fig. 6.3).

Between the end of a mesenchymal cell projection and the basal plasma membrane of an epithelial stem cell, tunneling nanotubes are established (Fig. 4).

In addition, between the end of a mesenchymal cell projection and the basal plasma membrane of an epithelial cell, tunneling nanotubes establish a basic functional cell-to-cell contact (Figs. 4 and 6.3).

Cells do respond to mechanical alterations as demonstrated in the cell projection area and polarity (e.g., Soft vs. Soft → Medium), and the responses vary depending on magnitude (e.g., Soft → Medium vs. Soft → Stiff) and range of stiffness changes (e.g., Soft → Medium vs. Medium → Stiff).

Morphogens with poor solubility are transported in cell projections and tunneling nanotubes (3).

These morphogens are not soluble in saline solution and can bind optionally on extracellular matrix and on cell projections [74].

There are hints that Wnt molecules are not secreted into interstitial fluid for further diffusion but are presented by epithelial cells near contacting mesenchymal cell projections.

Tkv-GFP receptor puncta of cell projections in Drosophila were shown to move here either in an anterograde or in a retrograde direction (Fig. 6.3) [101].

Actual morphological hints for a complex transport of morphogens are the spatial separation of mesenchymal and epithelial cell bodies in the niche and contacting mesenchymal cell projections (Figs. 2 and 3).
