Sentence examples for engagement of cells from inspiring English sources

Arrested differentiation and genomic instability were associated with an increased engagement of cells into the cell division cycle (P<0.0001).

The engagement of cells with ECM proteins is important for a variety of metastatic cellular processes such as adhesion, proliferation and migration [ 28] and the secretion of proteolytic enzymes and subsequent ECM proteolysis are recurring events in metastasis.

Frequently, biomaterials are designed to provide cell-instructive signals through engagement of cell surface receptors.

We have previously demonstrated that the effect of collagen I on COX-2 expression in intestinal epithelial cells is mediated via collagen I engagement of cell surface α2β1 integrins [10].

We had previously reported that antibodies isolated from patients with atherosclerosis and directed against the hCMV-derived proteins UL122 and US28 are able to induce endothelial cell apoptosis following the engagement of cell surface molecules [6].

In these and in all subsequent experiments, cells were kept in normal serum concentration (10%) at all times to ensure the effects on Rac1 activation were due to a change in Ca++ concentration levels and engagement of cell-cell adhesion proteins.

These results confirmed that focal engagement of cell receptors by surface-bound ligands has greater efficacy than do soluble activators, but results also show that calcium rise kinetics were similar for both modes of activation, suggesting that the same signaling cascade was engaged.
