Sentence examples for sheet migration from inspiring English sources

Cells migrate collectively during gastrulation in the embryo and in epithelial sheet migration during wound closure.

E-cadherin plays an important role during wound healing of gastric epithelial lesions and is crucial for sheet migration.

Phosphorylation of ERM proteins was highest during the most active phase of epithelial cell sheet migration over the course of wound closure.

Sheet migration distance and individual cell persistence were calculated via manual tracking from time-lapse stills (MTrackJ/ImageJ).

Collective invasion also relies on local remodeling of the extracellular matrix [ 21] and occurs by two-dimensional sheet migration or three-dimensional group or strand migration [ 22].

Carcinoma cells are likely to be sensitive to the motility cues that normally regulate epithelial morphogenetic movements such as ingression, delamination, invagination, and tube or sheet migration [ 72].

However, they are important because they create a physical barrier around land, slowing the ice sheets' migration into the ocean.

PKN modulates cell shape during Drosophila embryonic dorsal closure (a sheet epithelial migration that occurs during embryogenesis), and regulates F-actin organisation (Lu and Settleman, 1999; Vincent and Settleman, 1997).

Tumor cells may migrate in bulk as clusters, strands, or sheets (collective migration) or individually.

Andani and colleagues highlight a technical difference between their in situ analysis and studies showing high donor chimerism in LCs isolated from epidermal sheets by migration (7, 8).

Interestingly, the researchers observed that VEGF gradients can lead to different sprout morphology: positive VEGF gradients defined as invasion towards the source of VEGF induced filopodial extensions analogous to tip cell sprouts seen in vivo, but negative gradients instead promoted sheet-like migration analogous to vessel dilation.
