Sentence examples for membrane stiffness increases from inspiring English sources

As membrane stiffness increases, cellular motility may be compromised.

Several interesting phenomenon like shifting of modes with temperature, decrease of membrane stiffness with the increase in core thickness and increase in level of sandwiching has been observed.

Moreover, the Young's Modulus of the erythrocyte membrane increased, which resulted in an increased membrane stiffness and decreased deformation.

Increased membrane stiffness provides a possible explanation for our observed decreased cellular migration.

Decreased deformability along with increased membrane stiffness and rigidity of iRBCs are due to changes in the cytoskeleton triggered by growing intracellular parasites.

SPM unravels that the aggregates strongly interact with the cell membrane, forming a stiff encase that possibly leads to an increased cell membrane stiffness and deficit in the metabolic exchanges between the cells and their environment.

The increase of membrane stiffness may improve the capacity of elastic potential energy transfer, but will still result in the increase of mass.

Note the increase of membrane stiffness (decreases in time required to reach the maximum shear force) in response to PTZ treatment.

Because lamin A interacts with cytoskeletal components such as actin [ 39- 41], we examined whether progerin-induced nuclear membrane alterations could cause cyto-skeletal changes leading to increased cellular membrane stiffness, as a potential mechanism for decreased migration (especially as seen in the transwell assay).

An increasing filler loading results in enhanced membrane stiffness and in lower conductivity compared with pure recast Nafion.

Thin sheet materials of low bending stiffness but high membrane stiffness are often corrugated in order to achieve improvements of several orders of magnitude in bending stiffness with only minimal increases in weight and cost.
