In the chick, hypoblast formation has long been thought to involve the merging of cell clusters, originating from the early epiblast by poly-ingression, and the occurrence of single cell ingressions from the epiblast prior to gastrulation has recently been confirmed at stages preceding primitive streak formation (Stern and Downs, 2012; Voiculescu et al., 2014).
The early evolutionary process of eukaryotes included the merging of prokaryote cells.
The faster attenuation of mass transfer coefficients in buoyancy stable situations is attributed to the merging of convection cells leading to a reduction in the number of renewal zones along the interface.
Syncytia are formed due to merging of multiple cells.
Large pores are mostly caused by the merging of neighboring cells with thin walls, that is, three pixels or less (≤1.31 μm).
The successful merging of approaches from cell biology, developmental biology, imaging, engineering, and mathematical and computational sciences is now accelerating progress toward a fuller and better integrated understanding of the forces shaping morphogenesis.
The percentage of multicolored structures increased with cell density (2000, 5000 cells/well), suggesting that merging of structures or intermingling of cells is largely an effect of proximity (Fig. 1E).
As shown in Figure 4b, after 24 h of treatment, DOX either was extruded from the majority of the CSCs or, when entered cells, it was pumped out from the nucleus accumulating in perinuclear/cytoplasmic structures, as evidenced by the merge of vital cell dye DiO (green) and DOX (red) fluorescences, resulting in colocalization (yellow).
Following the merging of the images, the average OD of cells was calculated using ImageJ software (version 1.8.0; National Institutes of Health, USA).
