It remains possible, however, that myosin IIA deficient cells exert forces with the magnitudes below our detection limit (<4 nN), and such forces may be distributed over many pillars so that the total traction force may still be significant.
Among the dead were 2,107 coalition troops whom you might have expected to be the main target of such devices and whose armour was often deficient, 5,990 Iraqi forces (ditto) and 3,455 "enemy" – presumably a mixture of suicide bombers and what the army in Belfast used to call "own goals".
Many modern novels and plays, however, were woefully deficient in imaginative force, and the word may have been bandied about so much out of a desire for what was least possessed.
Prof Czeisler agreed, saying there was "special concern" for teenagers who were already sleep deficient by being forced to get up early for school.
Confocal stacks of gonococci deficient in active force generation by T4P retraction were mixed in a liquid and incubated on a glass surface for (3 5) hr.
If p53 is defective or deficient, the benefit of forced PUMA expression would potentially be lost.
The quantification of total traction force reveals that myosin IIA deficient cells exerted significantly reduced detectable traction forces compared to the wild-type and myosin IIB deficient cells (Fig. 4B).
When an infant is born prematurely, if its lungs are structurally immature and deficient in surfactant, surface tension forces are high and the alveoli are unstable.
We sought to analyze how myosin II deficient MDCK cells exert traction forces in order to migrate.
Using a miniature force sensor, we show that myosin IIA deficient cells do not exert detectable traction forces onto the substrates, whereas myosin IIB deficient cells exert traction forces similar to wild-type cells.
