Consequently, our understanding of gregarine diversity and taxonomy is predominantly based on morphological characteristics of trophozoites, modes of syzygy, reproductive features, and host associations (compare [23]).
MC3T3 preosteoblasts were cultivated on nanograted polydimethylsiloxane substrates and a thorough quantification – in static and dynamic modes – of the morphological and structural features of focal adhesions and cytoskeleton was performed.
In order to investigate the functional effects of the miR-200 family in melanoma, we decided to test whether expression of miR-200 family members affects the ability of melanoma cells to engage in morphological switching and use different modes of migration to invade into a physiologic 3D collagen-I matrix.
We established how the microenvironment can regulate the plasticity modes observed in cancer migration, during which cells evolve from single to collective migratory modes, and quantified the dynamic and morphological factors that differed between these modes of invasion.
Morphological changes in the synaptic vesicles and modes of synaptic contacts with central terminals were detected, suggesting synaptic remodeling following the degeneration.
The model involves photoresponses, periodically changing light conditions, morphological polarity, rotation of the spheroid, two modes of flagellar beating, and the impact of gravity.
In Coregonus, based on extensive genetic and population genetic [ 11], phylogenetic, biogeographic, morphological and eco-physiological data, six potential modes of speciation have been proposed [ 12].
Importantly, these different modes of locomotion are associated with morphological and physiological trade-offs [3], [4].
The data from three genera suggest different modes of life in at least two morphological groups.
Morphological parameters and process motility were differentially regulated by different modes of neurotransmission and were increased by ionotropic glutamatergic neurotransmission and decreased by ionotropic GABAergic neurotransmission.
