Sentence examples for maintaining tissue architecture from inspiring English sources

Intercellular adhesions share the complex task of establishing and maintaining tissue architecture while allowing tissue growth, renewal and repair.

We conclude that planarian muscle acts as a connective tissue for maintaining tissue architecture through ECM secretion, suggesting functional similarities between cells associated with adult patterning information in vertebrates and planarians.

In epithelial tissues, several classes of proteins are involved in maintaining tissue architecture, including those that promote cell cell adhesion, and others, which mediate cell matrix interactions.

These results confirm the role of these proteins in maintaining tissue architecture and in inhibiting cell invasiveness and potentially indicate the oncogenic potential of the Wnt/β-catenin transduction pathway in feline mammary tumours.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) initially acts as a tumour suppressor in the process of oncogenesis by inhibiting cell proliferation, maintaining tissue architecture, decreasing genomic instability and inducing cell arrest and apoptosis [ 5– 7].

We argue that the ECM, in the context of IBD, is not only a static scaffold holding cells in place and maintaining tissue architecture but a dynamic participant in intestinal immune responses capable of determining cell fate.

ALCAM is localized at intercellular junctions in epithelium presumably as part of the adhesive complex that maintains tissue architecture.
