It was confirmed that the shrinkage proceeded isotropically.
Once initiated, the initial rigid polymerization shrinkage proceeded rapidly, as a nearly linear function of time [ 10].
In contrast, midgut shrinkage was suggested to proceed largely independent of caspase activation based on experiments carried out on animals with a combination of mutations for certain caspases, whereas midgut cells fail to shrink properly if certain Atg genes are silenced or mutated [ 85, 115].
This interaction further proceeds leading to a shrinkage of Ti cores, the gradual disappearance of the TiAl layer, and the simultaneous increase of the Ti3Al content.
Once initiated, the process of apoptosis proceeds rapidly with cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation and the formation of apoptotic bodies, which eventually dissociate from the cell and become engulfed and destroyed by circulating phagocytes.
By so proceeding, we thus compare two shrinkage functions: SigShrink and "sum of DOGs".
As respiration proceeds, the outward diffusion of nitrogen and consequent shrinkage of the gas space are prevented by the surface tension a condition manifested by properties that resemble those of an elastic skin under tension between the closely packed hairs and the water.
29 We have previously shown that shear-induced chondrocyte apoptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial depolarization and caspase-9 activation 4, thereby suggesting that it proceeds via the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
But, whatever the atmosphere, dewetting does not proceed through the propagation of a rim but instead involves the growth of specific grains and shrinkage of others.
However, as C-XIAP-C D148A-expressing cells continued to proceed through apoptosis execution in response to TRAIL/CHX, we cannot exclude that morphological changes such as cellular shrinkage and blebbing also contributed to this reading.
