Sentence examples for membrane causing a from inspiring English sources

When wax is produced too rapidly, it can accumulate, completely filling the outer-ear canal and blocking the passage of sound to the tympanic membrane, causing a painless impairment of hearing.

Cadherins can prevent nuclear localization of β-catenin by recruiting it from the cytoplasm to adherens junctions in the membrane, causing a putative, latent inhibition of TCF/β-catenin activity as well as a return to 'basal' levels of ligand-activation of NHR-responsive genes.

Mutations in ANT1 impair ADP ATP exchange through the mitochondrial membrane, causing a nucleotide imbalance (affecting replication) and a severe reduction in cellular energy.
