"key cell types" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
For example, you could use it when discussing the different types of cells that compose the human body: "The human body is composed of four key cell types – red blood cells, white blood cells, epithelial cells, and connective tissue cells."
The CNS is further composed of two key cell types: neurons and glia.
Significant questions now need to be answered concerning the effect of this biomaterial on the phenotype of key cell types and the biocompatibility of fibroin within the eye.
Subramaian et al. [5] introduced a hypothesis that focuses on a defective remodeling process secondary to weakened synergism among the key cell types that interact during bone remodeling, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, and bone lining cells.
This inflammation is heterogeneous but the key cell types involved are macrophages, neutrophils and T cells, The dominant inflammatory mediators include TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, reactive oxygen species and proteases.
Beyond this, we have only a partial catalogue of uDBP recognition sites, and although we now have foundational in vitro chromatin feature data for key cell types, the in vivo relevance of these features and their consistency across genetic backgrounds is not fully established [103].
This information could be further integrated with chromatin feature data for key cell types from the Human Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project [31], with the ultimate goal of prioritizing non-coding risk variants for functional testing (e.g., by genome editing using CRISPR/Cas systems) [28,32].
The macrophage has long been known to be the key cell type that mediates the foreign body response.
A key cell type in the TMEN are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which exhibit the ability to differentiate into nearly all stromal cell lineages.
However, stem cell differentiated hypertrophic chondrocytes, the key cell type in endochondral ossification, have not been studied for long bone defect repair.
These vaccines enhance the body's immune response to cancerous cells, and dendritic cells (DCs), an initiator of adaptive immunity, are a key cell type targeted by these strategies.
Currently, there is very little knowledge available as to how DNA methylation controls the phenotype of hepatic stellate cell (HSC), the key cell type responsible for onset and progression of liver fibrosis.
