Sentence examples for migratory competence from inspiring English sources

We previously defined populations of TCR-ζdim T cells in peripheral blood with characteristics of prior antigen experience, based on cell surface phenotype, cytokine expression and migratory competence [ 16].

To this end, the migratory competence of PB cells obtained from RA patients with active disease at baseline was compared with cells acquired after 14 weeks of anti-TNF treatment.

In particular, Rac1 is required for the exit from the cell cycle of the MGE-born interneuron precursors (Vidaki et al. 2012), and to confer migratory competence to the differentiating progenitors (Chen et al. 2007).

It seems likely that T cells expressing low levels of TCRζ define polyclonal populations of antigen-experienced T cells in vivo based on their cell surface phenotype, tetramer staining, cytokine expression, proliferative responses, and migratory competence.

Indeed, at P12, control and Rac1/Dlx5/6-CIE mice showed similar number and distribution of PV-positive cortical interneurons, prompting the authors to conclude that Rac1 is dispensable for the migration of MGE-derived interneurons per se, although it is required to confer migratory competence on differentiating progenitors.

Anchorage-independent growth, used as a coarse indicator of transformation, was significantly reduced, as were migratory capacity and invasive competence.

To define the role of birds as reservoirs and disseminators of Borrelia spirochetes, we characterized tick infestation and reservoir competence of migratory passerine birds in Sweden.

To assess such competence of migratory birds, we measured and compared the spirochete count and infection prevalence in larvae and nymphs collected from these birds.

Aberrant activation of a latent embryonic program - known as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) - can endow cancer cells with the migratory and invasive capabilities associated with metastatic competence.

It is increasingly acknowledged that aberrant activation of a latent embryonic program - known as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) - can endow cancer cells with the migratory and invasive capabilities associated with metastatic competence [ 1- 3].

Within the migratory process, men have acquired a larger cultural competence in obtaining wild food plants from a greater number of habitat types than women, who confine their movement within the herbal landscape to home gardens and ruderal areas.
