Sentence examples for modify their phenotype from inspiring English sources

Macrophages demonstrate significant plasticity and are able to modify their phenotype and function in response to the surrounding microenvironments (Murray and Wynn, 2011).

Understanding the physiological, vascular and biomechanical processes that allow micropropagated plants to modify their phenotype in response to environmental conditions can help to improve both field performance and plant survival.

In contrast, NK-ireg cells and their progenitors are resistant to exogenous lymphokines and do not modify their phenotype and function.

We can not rule out the possibility that these skin DC subpopulations modify their phenotype upon migration, however using a combination of several different markers present both on cutaneous and lymphatic DC, populations 1, 2 and 4 can be unambiguously distinguished in these two tissues.

Macrophages have a remarkable plasticity, enabling them to efficiently respond to environmental signals and modify their phenotype.

The coordination of complex tumor processes requires cells to rapidly modify their phenotype and is achieved by direct cell-cell communication through gap junction channels composed of connexins.

In response to this environmental variation, numerous lineages have evolved the ability for individuals to predictably modify their phenotypes in response to environmental heterogeneity.

However, since the great majority of patient NK cells have modified their phenotype to support differentiation of the cells, they may not be effective in eliminating cancer stem cells.

Indeed, while exposure to the postnatal environment stimulates the growth of embryonic axons without modifying their phenotype, contact-mediated signals derived from granule cells specifically induce arborising growth and modulate the dynamics of neuritic elongation.

The wide variety of macrophage functions might be explained by the outstanding plasticity and versatility of macrophages that efficiently respond to environmental challenges and changes in tissue physiology by modifying their phenotype (Mosser and Edwards, 2008).

53 But cancer cells do not only lose epithelial properties during this process they may modify their epithelial phenotype by aberrant (de novo) expression of epithelial markers such as keratin 7. The term "epithelial-epithelial transition" has been suggested by our group for this hitherto unrecognized basic principle of invasion.
