Sentence examples for the differentiated function of from inspiring English sources

In conclusion, rhBMP-2 seems to enhance the differentiated function of canine osteoblasts in a non-dose dependent manner.

The performance of the various scaffolds as a matrix to maintain the differentiated function of primary hepatocytes showed that albumin levels in the supernatant were in the order of RGD-modified scaffold > collagen Type I-modified scaffold > fibronectin- or laminin-modified scaffold > unmodified scaffold > plate, while no clear trend in urea production could be discerned.

Therefore, our results may indicate the existence of multiple mechanisms for regulating the expression of FGF21 in association with the differentiated function of hepatocytes, and damage or loss of liver function under diverse stress conditions.

Among other BMPs, BMP-2 and BMP-7 are known to induce differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells and preosteoblasts into mature osteoblasts, and to enhance the differentiated function of osteoblasts, which have led to the clinical application of these proteins for bone regeneration [ 1, 7- 10].

By contrast, we observed no significant decreases in the expression of other genes involved in maintaining the differentiated function of β cells, including Pdx1, nor in SUR1 (ABCC8) or glucokinase (Gck; Suppl. Fig. 1), nor in neuroD1 or MafA (LKB1 fl/fl.RIP2.Cre + vs. LKB1 fl/+.RIP2.Cre+, not shown) suggesting that a generalized decrease in β-cell differentiation did not occur.

In this study, we investigated the effects of terpolymer molecular weight (Mw) on the mechanical property of these microcapsules and the differentiated functions of encapsulated hepatocytes.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is now considered to be a pluripotent factor and has been shown to stimulate the differentiated functions of hepatocytes, as well as their proliferation.

In the adult prostate, androgens are believed to act through the stromal androgen receptor (AR) to maintain a growth-quiescent gland [16], [17] and through the epithelial AR to elicit the secretory differentiated function of the prostatic epithelium [18].
