With DSs of the order of 0.6/1, the whiskers kept their morphological integrity, but due to their surface silylation, they became readily dispersible in solvents of low polarity such as THF.
With the advent of biopsy and SEM analysis we are able to directly observe the morphological integrity of the epithelium as compared to the assumed integrity deduced from standard hormone dose delivery, time of ovulation and serum hormone levels.
While normal renal size has been reported in these families, mice studies have shown that complete ablation of renin-expressing cells is associated with small and morphologically abnormal kidneys, suggesting renin is necessary to maintain morphological integrity during kidney development [ 22].
To verify the morphological integrity of the endothelial cell layer, elastin autofluorescence (Auto Fl; green) and cell nucleus (DAPI; blue) were also captured with PECAM (red).
During this process they appeared to maintain their morphological integrity (Additional file 1: Figure S1).
We conclude that actin polymerization is necessary to maintain the morphological integrity of IPMCs.
When KYO-1 was used, islets still maintained the ability to release insulin in response to glucose stimulation, and agarose capsule showed morphological integrity, and mechanical properties.
However, the morphological integrity for cochlear supporting cells is especially hard to preserve in all previous preparations.
These cytoskeletal proteins and matrix proteins contribute to cell shape, mechanical resistance, and morphological integrity of muscle cells, and are part of a complex network of filaments and tubules that transmit mechanical and chemical stimuli between cells.
In comparison to glucose, supply of exogenous pyruvate restored the morphological integrity of post-ischemic astrocytes and prevented gliosis.
