Sentence examples for extension in the direction of from inspiring English sources

We identify the mechanisms of four signaling pathways that cells use to bias pseudopod extension in the direction of a shallow gradient of the chemoattractant cAMP.

A primer specific to the 5' UTR of full length L1 elements is used in a single round of primer extension in the 5' direction of the L1 element, which allows for priming on all of the ~5000 full length L1 elements in the human genome and the generation of a single adenine overhang at the end of those extended fragments.

While WT DCs appeared highly dynamic, projecting numerous membrane extensions in the direction of the T cells (Figure 5A and Movie S1), PLCγ2−/− DCs were poorly motile, well anchored to their initial position, and extended only few dendrites towards T cells (Figure 5A and Movie S2).

Wnt5a increased axon outgrowth by reorganizing dynamic splayed MTs that explored all regions of the growth cone to bundled MTs that focused their extensions in the direction of axon outgrowth.

The Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in the direction of stretching force.

R is the radius of the sphere or the punch; α is the half angle of the cone; z is the distance of the tip relative to the surface in the z-direction; K is the spring constant of the cantilever in use; d is the deflection of the tip, and υ is the Poisson ratio of the material, which is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in the direction of stretching force.

Extensions in the directions of the warp or weft are less than those 'on the bias' (i.e. at 45° to the thread directions).

When a local contraction relaxed, the trailing extension partially retreated, and when a new contraction occurred nearby, the extension advanced again in the direction of this contraction.

The major known attractive cue, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), binds to VEGF receptors (primarily VEGFR2) on tip-cells to promote the formation and extension of filopodia in the direction of a gradient or immobilized source of VEGF-A.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a candidate for the secreted compound and extensions of pseudopods in the direction of cell-cell contacts might be locally inhibited by interference of vascular endothelial cadherins with VEGF receptor 2 signaling.

We tested for a correlation between the rate of axon extension and the direction of adhesion remodeling in the growth cone during acute exposure to MAG and BDNF.
