Thus, in this study, we characterized second-trimester CTB differentiation/invasion in vitro, correlating the major morphological transitions with the transcriptional changes that occurred at these steps.
Degradation of PdeA requires the response regulator CpdR and signals a morphological transition in concert with initiation of DNA replication.
In the first project, we generate surface-tethered poly[ 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-b-(methyl methacrylate)] (PHEMA-b-PMMA) diblock copolymer brushes and study systematically morphological transitions associated with collapsing either the top PMMA or the bottom PHEMA block while keeping the other block solvated.
We present some tentative ideas on the possibility of band-to-nonband (BNB) morphological transition, which might be analogous with the second order transition in non-equilibrium phase transition.
Due to the importance of the yeast-to-hyphal transition for virulence of C. albicans, multiple studies have investigated the molecular and cellular events associated with this morphological transition.
Associated with this habitat shift is a morphological transition, M. glandulosa being the most morphologically-disparate species in clade A. Indeed, within Macowania as a whole, M. glandulosa is the only species possessing sunken leaf glands.
At some point thereafter, the melanocytes undergo a morphological transition into the epithelioid nevus cells, with their propensity to aggregate as junctional nests (junctional nevus).
The ability of C andida albicans to cause disease is associated with its capacity to undergo morphological transition between yeast and filamentous forms, but the role of morphology in colonization and dissemination from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains poorly defined.
These phenotypic changes were also observed in NCI-H226 cells transfected with AEG-1 siRNA, which displayed a clear morphological transition from spindle-like fibroblastic (vector control) to cobblestone-like cells with well-organized cell contact and polarity.
