Subsequently epithelial cells crawl across the wound bed to cover it and the wound is contracted by myofibroblasts, which grip the wound edges and undergo contraction using a mechanism similar to that in smooth muscle cells.
Consistent with this idea is the finding that directly repeated rDNA sequences undergo contraction in ctk1 mutant strains [73] suggesting a hyper-rec phenotype associated with directly repeated DNA sequences.
All four compounds studied undergo contraction as pressure is increased with remarkable similarities between the behaviour of the materials with temperature and pressure.
Both loci undergo contraction prior to gene rearrangement which allows juxtaposing of genomically distant gene segments and creates equal opportunities for recombination.
Our calcium imaging of the gubernacular and anal depressor muscles reveal that they undergo contraction and display increased Ca2+ transients immediately prior to sperm transfer, suggesting this is a mechanism by which sperm is released.
Figure 12 demonstrates a much stronger connection between these parameters and it is easy to understand that a patient with a larger volume of adipose tissue would have more tissue available to undergo contraction.
The mifepristone is then followed up by a dose (taken orally or as a vaginal suppository) of the synthetic prostaglandin misoprostol, which stimulates the uterus to undergo contractions.
The results we report here show that cells that are not attached to a matrix will undergo contractions upon microtubule depletion whether they grow constitutively in suspension, are artificially detached in interphase, or physiologically in mitosis.
On the other hand, if the array is operated at a smaller frequency, say ω1 = 6/7ω0, the difference co-array undergoes contraction as depicted in Figure 3(c).
Along E-directed subduction zones, the volcanic arc is located in volumes undergoing contraction, since the subduction hinge is approaching the upper plate.
This high-peak-variance style is also distinctive of rivers that are undergoing contraction in discharge over time because of the gradual annexation of the channel belt by the establishment of woody vegetation.
