Sentence examples for primitive cellular from inspiring English sources

Most of the pandoravirus genes don't look like any genes in known databases, suggesting the viruses originated from a totally different primitive cellular lineage than bacteria, archaea, and eukarya.

Comparative genomics of organisms from the three domains has shown that the cenancestor was not a direct descendant of the prebiotic soup nor a primitive cellular entity where the genotype and the phenotype had an imprecise relationship (i.e., a progenote), rather it was an organism similar in complexity to extant cells.

Furthermore, formalized analysis of self-assembled systems in terms of molecular shape of constituent amphiphiles, is of fundamental importance in all fields involving molecular interfaces, from the study of synaptic endocytosis in neural transmission to the understanding of primitive cellular membranes.

Fatty acid vesicles have been studied as a model system for primitive cellular membranes at the origin of life [1], [2].

Several of the enriched promoter binding motifs are shared between the prostate epithelial/mesenchymal compartments and their epidermis/dermis counterparts, indicating their likely relevance in epithelial/mesenchymal signaling in primitive cellular compartments.

Monodisperse multilamellar fatty acid vesicles are useful in origin-of-life studies as models of primitive cellular membranes, since vesicles that formed spontaneously in early earth environments (e.g., by the resuspension of dry fatty acid films or by the acidification of concentrated solutions of micelles) would be likely to be large and multilamellar [2], [23].

More primitive multi-cellular organisms were in existence well before the Cambrian era and it is hard to imagine a scenario in which multi-cellular organisms would be involved in a large-scale swap of genetic material.

FADS-type I sequences were also found in 8 eukaryotic species (Table 2), including Anopheles gambiae, Caenorhabditis sp., Trichoplax adhaerens, which is considered to be the most primitive multi-cellular animal known, or the freshwater amoeba Paulinella chromatophora, which harbours a cyanobacterial endosymbiont.

The idea of a primitive, pre-cellular common ancestor dates back to the first molecular trees of life, when Fox and Woese concluded that this organism might have been a progenote, i.e. an organism without a tight coupling between geno- and phenotype (my refs. 12 & 13).

D. discoideum fruiting body formation is one of the more primitive examples of multi-cellular development but, even so, is a complex process that is tightly regulated [3].

The recognition of breast cancer as a molecularly heterogeneous disease where individual tumors display cellular hierarchy containing "primitive" stem-like tumor-initiating cells (TICs) and their derivatives, has directed efforts towards the development of personalized targeted therapies based on the characteristics of individual cancers.
