Sentence examples for nerve cell types from inspiring English sources

As Mr. Johe's patent points out, the brain is "composed of highly diverse nerve cell types making specific interconnections and, once destroyed, the nerve cells (neurons) do not regenerate".

CEP-1347 demonstrated that apoptosis with multiple nerve cell types from a variety of agents leading to programmed cell death which significantly increase the dopamine neurons survival prior to and afterward transplantation.

These investigations demonstrate a specific 'rate-limiting' role for huntingtin in formation of the telencephalon and the pre-placodal region, and differing levels of requirement for huntingtin function in specific nerve cell types.

Indeed, the maximum number of somatic cell types (but combining all nerve cell types into a single-cell category) observed in metazoa ranges from four in placozoan to more than 200 in Hominidae and seems to have steadily increased at an average rate of about 0.33 cell type per million years (Valentine et al. 1994).

Yet ctenophores have muscles and nerve cells, cell types that sponges lack, suggesting that animal evolution did not proceed smoothly from the simple to the more complex.

In the same way, Eccles found, an excited nerve cell induces another type of synapse to release into the neighbouring cell a substance that promotes outward passage of positively charged potassium ions across the membrane, reinforcing the existing polarity and inhibiting the transmission of an impulse.

Correspondingly, as a mechanism to limit material expenditure and increase efficiency, the turnover rates of many nerve terminal proteins are exceptionally slow relative to those of proteins in the nerve cell body or other cell types (Barber and LoPachin 2004; Barber et al. 2007; Calakos and Scheller 1996; Katyare and Shallom 1988; Lin and Scheller 2000).

While PMP22 is known to be expressed in a number of different cell types, nerve transplantation studies established that the neuropathy initiates within the Schwann cells (Aguayo et al., 1977).

The project has identified several hundred types of nerve cell this way, so it may be possible to tailor drugs to particular cell types, if not to particular brain regions.Whether that will prove useful remains to be seen.

Each nerve cell contained one distinct type of receptor that was sensitive to more than one odor.

However, as in any study of this nature, caution needs to be taken when correlating our present cellular findings to whole heart function, as the latter is composed of heterogeneous cell types, including nerve terminals and fibroblasts, as well as the connective tissue alluded to above.
