Sentence examples for cell substrata from inspiring English sources

It is well known that mechanical stimuli induce cellular responses ranging from morphological reorganization to mineral secretion, and that mechanical stimulation through modulation of the mechanical properties of cell substrata affects cell function in vitro and in vivo.

Here, we apply contact mechanics of nanoindentation to measure the mechanical compliance of weak polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) of nanoscale thickness, and explore the effects of this tunable compliance for cell substrata applications.

These studies demonstrated the importance of materials science in modern tissue engineering, but were limited to the influence of cell substratum surface properties on the initial cell spreading.

ROCK activity is responsible for stabilizing actin microfilaments as well as promoting cellular contraction and cell substratum contact.

The balance of soluble growth factors, hormones and cell substratum interactions controls the regulation of this cycle of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.

CRT has also been shown to regulate vinculin (a cytoskeletal protein involved in adhesion) in fibroblast cells where its overexpression increased cell to cell adhesion and cell substratum adhesion [ 74].

During cell migration, the so-called focal adhesion complex (FA) serves as a point of control for cell migratory potential by regulating the continuous formation and turnover of cell substratum contacts as well as actin polymerization.

Loss of epithelial tissue constrains may follow inactivation of protein(s) involved in tissue organization, e.g., in gap junctions [ 97], in tight junctions [ 98], PAR1 kinase [ 99], or in cell substratum adhesion (e.g., by metalloproteases) [ 100].

Cell-substratum interaction is influenced by topographical in addition to chemical cues.

We hypothesized that bipolar character of the protein film favored cell-substratum over cell-cell adhesive interactions which resulted in less rapidly forming but more stable networks.

Cell-substratum links promote formation of mounds as opposed to single-layer biofilms, whereas filial links affect the roundness of the biofilm.
