Sentence examples for mediating the adherence from inspiring English sources

VWF works by mediating the adherence of platelets to one another and to sites of vascular damage.

P. gingivalis FimA is a pivotal factor for mediating the adherence of bacteria to host cell [6].

Pac is one of the cell wall-anchored surface proteins identified in S. mutans, and it is responsible for mediating the adherence of S. mutans to tooth surfaces [ 8].

Two gene clusters encode proteins involved in the sortase-mediated polymerization of adhesive pili that can probably mediate the adherence to host tissue to facilitate additional ligand-receptor interactions and the delivery of virulence factors.

Like E-selectin, P-selectin is a central mediator of leukocyte rolling during inflammation and is also able to mediate the adherence of platelets to neutrophils and monocytes [ 11], allowing this molecule to participate in the cross-talk between the inflammatory and thrombogenic processes.

It also mediates the adherence of lymphocytes to endothelial cells.

The dermatophyte arthrospores contact the stratum corneum and mediate the adherence process through the formation of fibrous flocs between the spore cell walls and keratinocyte membranes.

Past evidence suggests that the protein may mediate the adherence or dehiscence of endocarp tissues during maturation and affect the lustre, or glossiness of the seed surface.

Adhesive pili are covalently anchored to the corynebacterial cell wall by a transpeptidylation mechanism, requiring a C-terminal sorting signal with a conserved LPXTG motif [ 56], and can mediate the adherence to host tissues and other bacterial cells [ 57].

To simplify the complex mechanism by which Lis1, DCX and Reelin regulate the association with the fiber, we defined for modeling purposes that these molecular components mediate the adherence ability of neurons to the fiber through interaction with the Astrotactin protein that mediates the neuron-glial adhesion ligand (although no experimental evidence supports this assumption) [ 19].

SELL (selectin L, CD62L antigen, up-regulated 3.90-fold in lung) is a cell surface adhesion protein which mediates the adherence of lymphocytes to endothelial cells of high endothelial venules in peripheral lymph nodes and promotes the initial tethering and rolling of leukocytes in endothelia.
