Sentence examples for exert tension from inspiring English sources

Stromal fibroblasts are able to exert tension on the collagen microfibrillar network through the collagen binding integrins [ 38].

The Whole Body Tension procedure was used to determine the ability of mice to exert tension in a forward pulling manoeuvre that is elicited by stroking the tail.

In this complex, myosin VIIa may exert tension forces on the transient lateral links of the growing hair bundle, thereby contributing to its cohesion.

In response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, EC reorganize their actin cytoskeleton to form stress fibres, which exert tension on cell cell junctions leading to increased vascular permeability (Bogatcheva and Verin, 2008; Millán et al., 2010).

Stress fibers were known to exist in endothelial cells in situ [ 7] where they exert tension via associated non-muscle myosin II to regulate endothelial cell basal tone and contraction [ 8, 9].

When muscles shorten while exerting tension and performing mechanical work, some of the chemical energy is converted to work and some is lost as heat.

When muscles lengthen while exerting tension (such as in slowly lowering a weight), the chemical energy that is used, along with the mechanical energy absorbed by the action, is converted to heat.
