We stress the importance of controls for three-dimensional matrix studies and discuss cancer as an example in which altered three-dimensional matrices can influence fibroblast signaling.
Our findings suggest that changes in the surrounding matrix can influence catabolic genes in tenocytes when cultured in a complex strain environment mimicking that of tendon, while having minimal effects on tendon and homeostatic genes.
Since the crystalline properties of the ZnO matrix can influence its optical and electrical properties [15], the XRD patterns of the Si QD-embedded ZnO thin films annealed at different temperatures are examined and shown in Figure 2a, fine-scanned from 30° to 40°.
Second, the setup of the game has to be chosen with care: The payoff matrix can influence the behavior of participants [46], and using computer instead of human partners affects participants as well [47].
Growing data indicate that changes in abundance or type of CSPGs (chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans) in the ECM (extracellular matrix) can influence synaptic structure and plasticity.
Consistent with other reports that matrix stiffness can influence cell morphology, we also found that cell spreading was dependent on the matrix stiffness.
Implementing this operator might need updating all matrices and can influence all terms of the objective function.
Matrix effects can influence test results when alternative sample types are used, therefore, alternative sample types should always be validated before clinical use.
Portable XRF, while being widely used for the investigation of paintings [21 24], should be interpreted with care as physical processes such as attenuation, absorption and matrix effects can influence the outcome.
Secondly, scratch assays performed in the presence of Matrigel, in which extracellular matrix proteins can influence cell function, showed readily distinguishable differences between control and ICAM-2 transfectants.
