Sentence examples for fluidity and migration from inspiring English sources

We previously reported that normal fibroblasts (NFs) and, notably, breast cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and increases in cell membrane fluidity and migration in well- (MCF-7) and poorly-differentiated (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells.

The CAF-triggered increase in SCD1 expression is consistent with the CAF-mediated enhancement of cancer cell membrane fluidity and migration that we have previously demonstrated (Angelucci et al, 2012).

To identify an upstream target in the control of cancer cell membrane fluidity and migration exerted notably by CAFs, we carried out Western blotting and ELISA and evaluated protein expression and DNA binding activity of the SCD1 transcription factor (SREBP1) in breast cancer cells after 6 days of co-culture with NFs or CAFs.

To shed light on the molecular basis of the previously observed increase induced by NFs and CAFs in cancer cell plasma membrane fluidity and migration (Angelucci et al, 2012), we co-cultured MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells with NFs or CAFs and investigated the effect of such interaction on SCD1 gene and protein expression in cancer cells.

On the basis of the above evidence, we could reasonably assume that the fibroblast-induced upregulation of SCD1 gene and/or protein expression in tumor cells substantially contributes to the previously observed increases in both cancer cell membrane fluidity and migration triggered by CAFs (Angelucci et al, 2012).

Among its limitations, the high fluidity and internal migration in post-conflict Sri Lanka is likely to have affected the follow-up rate.

Together, our results demonstrate a farnesyl-dependent mechanism in which progerin expression interrupts complex stem cell processes by inducing structural alterations in the nucleus that interfere with critical, basic stem cell functions that are required for vascular repair: self-renewal, proliferation, membrane fluidity and cell migration.

A fluidity and plasticity between migration patterns is crucial to cancer progression.

Environmental, technology and migration policies count too.

"Agadez is tourism and migration.

As already discussed above, changes in lipid desaturation mediated by altered SCD expression could affect membrane fluidity and contribute to the induction of cancer cell migration, a process that is also regulated by hypoxia.
