Sentence examples for cell shape alterations from inspiring English sources

Indeed, various atypical size and cell shape alterations, for example, irregular, swollen, oval-shaped, and defective cells were obviously noticeable, especially in the treated MRSA (Figure 3C), while these aberrations were not observed in the untreated control cells (Figure 4C).

The authors explored the effect of cell shape alterations either by removing EGF from monolayer cultures or by growing cells on polyHEMA – an inert substrate that allows cell rounding without the addition of any extracellular matrix component.

Microtubule disruption was accompanied by root cell shape alteration.

DISTORTED mutants are known to display a dramatic cell shape alteration in comparison to wild type plants.

In contrast, ROCK1−/− cells exhibited minimal cell shape alteration, a significantly less number of cells showing a cortical contractile ring and an increased number of cells with preserved central stress fibers compared with WT cells.

EPB4.9 gene is located on chromosome 8p21.1, a region frequently deleted in prostate carcinoma and could have a possible role in cell shape alteration, tumor progression and metastasis (Lutchman et al., 1999).

We also monitored actin reorganization from cortical to stress fiber type and cell shape change from cuboidal to fibroblastic like, as additional alterations associated with EMT.

When this cell shape change occurs in a group of cells it can cause invagination or bending, leading to alterations in tissue morphology.

Knockdown of afadin in LMVECs triggered cell-shape alteration, disorganization of cell-cell contacts, reduction of VE-cadherin staining, and formation of thick F-actin fibers at the cells periphery.

Since Msn and its mammalian homologs have been linked previously to cell shape changes and cytoskeletal alterations (Cobreros-Reguera et al., 2010; Hu et al., 2004), we chose to further investigate the potential interaction between Msn and Sigmar.

In order to evaluate if the changes on cell shape were due to alterations on the actin organisation, an experiment using phalloidin-FITC conjugate was performed (Kusano et al, 2000).
