Sentence examples for modified cell shape from inspiring English sources

Research on pPLAIIIβ has suggested that these aberrant organs may be a result of modified cell shape in the mutants [ 5].

The treatment with Dex did not modify cell shape but affected the mitochondria.

An interesting but not well known activity of p53 is its capacity to modify cell shape.

In addition, loss of p130Cas (Crk-associated substrate) modifies cell shape and inhibits cellular transformation by NPM ALK.

It functions as a counteradhesive protein, modifying cell shape through the dissociation of focal adhesion, and modulates cell matrix interactions by binding to the ECM (Bradshaw and Sage, 2001).

Previous studies showed that CKI regulates BR signalling in rice (Liu et al, 2003) and cell-to-cell communication (Lee et al, 2005), as well as modifying cell shape by phosphorylating tubulins in Arabidopsis (Ben-Nissan et al, 2008, 2010; Lee, 2009).

Chondrocytes modify their cell shape from round to flat in monolayer cultures and increase their DNA synthesis [ 45]. Lee et al. [ 1] suggest that these cell shape changes affect responsiveness to IGF-1 due to receptor level changes or affinity of the receptors in flattened cells.

We observed that simulated microgravity significantly increases TCam-2 cell height after 24 hours of RPM exposure with respect to 1 g cultured cells (15.62 ± 1.10  μm versus 11.0 ± 0.66  μm; P < 0.001) indicating that RPM culture condition was able to modify TCam-2 cell shape.

For reference, that means if you're trying to modify cells, you've got a pool of cells, and some fraction of those get modified correctly.
