Sentence examples for circumference of the cell from inspiring English sources

Another actin structure only transiently associated with the cell membrane is the contractile ring, which is composed of actin filaments running around the circumference of the cell during cell division.

Initially, the cell-contact sites appeared round and did not show significant F-actin content beyond a small ring along the circumference of the cell contact.

In contrast, model tight epithelia such frog skin and fish gill have junctional complexes that form extensive connections around the circumference of the cell.

In high-resolution time-sequences of P2 fibroblasts (1 second between frames, 0.11 µm pixel size), regions exhibiting periodic contractions were observed to move laterally at an average rate of 0.38 µm/s and in some cases traveled around the entire circumference of the cell, moving as far as 90 100 µm (Fig. 9 A, B).

However, our model is different in that we speculate that short FtsZ protofilaments inside the Z-ring are staggered with each other in space not only along the circumference of the cell, but also along the radial direction of the cell (Figure 8B).

Ciliated cells were moderately abundant displaying cilia often distributed preferentially on the circumference of the cell.

Samples were considered EGFR-positive if they contained tumor cells with EGFR staining along the entire circumference of the cells.

A distinguishing feature of epithelial cells, including hepatocytes, is the formation of "adhesion belts" around the circumference of these cells at the lateral interface (Stamatoglou and Hughes, 1994).

To quantify the PM ruffles the Trace Region feature in the toolbar of Metamorph software was used to measure the circumference of each cell at the initial time point (denoted as L).

At even lower pcrit, an extreme expansion of the interface over 180° (1/2 of the cell circumference) was predicted.

In another significant parameter-space domain (yellow in Fig. 3a), the initial expansion was followed by a contraction that, although mathematically incomplete, reduced the size of the contact to below 30° arc, or 1/12 of the cell circumference.
