Sentence examples for drive contraction from inspiring English sources

At the molecular level, myosin motors drive contraction by sliding actin filaments past one another using energy produced by ATP hydrolysis.

Garlid and colleagues further propose that during reperfusion, keeping the mitochondrial KATP channel open maintains the VDAC, CrK, ANT complex which is vital to export ATP rapidly from the mitochondria to the cytosol where it is used to drive contraction.

For example, the proper contractile functioning of muscle cells requires cell and tissue integrity, proper protein homeostasis, and the presence of the mechanical components that drive contraction (Fig.  4, orange octagons).

This behavior is very reminiscent of in vivo observations in developing embryo, where similarly cortical flows are observed mainly at the interface, but appear to drive contraction of a much sparser actin network within the cytoplasm.

Subsequently, the force of polymerization against the membrane along with Myosin II driven contraction drives retrograde movement of the actin network; it is this treadmill that generates the forces behind cell motility.

Thus, a strong relative increase in intrachain hydrogen bonding occurs on DSE transfer as urea−backbone interactions decline to zero, and this drives contraction of Rh and accretion of structure.

Today, electronic fetal-heart-rate monitoring is used in more than ninety per cent of deliveries; intravenous fluids in more than eighty per cent; epidural or spinal anesthesia in three-quarters; medicines to speed up labor (the drug of choice is no longer ergot but Pitocin, a synthetic form of the natural hormone that drives contractions) in half.

We conclude that two rhythm generators regulate segmentation: one drives contractions within segmentation bursts, the other the occurrence of bursts.

The nine-neuron cardiac ganglion consists of five large cell (LC) motor neurons and four small pacemaker cells, all of which are electrically coupled and burst synchronously to drive the contraction of the heart muscle [22] [26] (Fig. 1).

The SG and its efferent giant fiber system drive mantle contraction for jet propulsion during the escape response.

We previously showed that apoptotic membrane blebbing results from caspase-mediated cleavage and consequent activation of ROCK1 to drive actomyosin contraction.
