Sentence examples for filaments of the same from inspiring English sources

Sliding filaments of the same orientation, however, tend to shorten the filament pair.

Theoretical analysis has revealed that contractile stresses can be generated in such bundles if interactions of filaments of the same orientation are taken into account [13], [14].

Motor-induced sliding of filaments of the same orientation occurs e.g. if an aggregate of plus-end directed motors that simultaneously binds to two filaments, reaches the end of one filament and stays attached for some time, see Fig. 3B.

Formin and Ena/VASP proteins are concentrated at the tips of filopodia [12] [15] promoting the continuous elongation of filaments [3], [16] and their successive binding by fascin, which crosslinks actin filaments of the same polarity into the bundles constituting the "body" of filopodia [17].

In the presence of end-tracking cross-linkers, treadmilling can induce relative sliding between filaments of the same and opposite orientation, see Fig. 4. Simulating this dynamics analogously to the case of motor-induced filament sliding, we find again cases of stable homogenous bundles and cases where homogeneous bundles are unstable and complex dynamics emerges.

Like microvilli, the stereocilia contain a central core of densely packed parallel actin filaments of the same polarity, the number and length of which vary proportionally to stereocilia size (2– 5).

According to the "cosmic web" theory of the universe, clumps of so-called dark matter--the invisible stuff accounting for a lion's share of the universe's mass--are linked by slender filaments made of the same stuff.

Finally, we impose periodic boundary conditions, where the system length L = 2πR is the ring circumference and assume that all filaments are of the same length l.

What's known for sure about the Livermore bulb is that it has a carbon filament of about the same human-hair thickness as the ones, typically made of tungsten, that are found in modern bulbs.

Finally, in the unfilled material crater-like structures are observed which are attributed to the repetitive ignition of discharge filaments in the same location.

The contribution of intermediate filaments has the same, or greater, magnitude as actin, suggesting that there is a contractile mechanism that depends on intermediate filaments.
