Example sentences for: adhesion
How can you use “adhesion” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Sobel and colleagues reported a fucose (6-deoxy-galactose) vaginal epithelial cell receptor that aids in adhesion of Candida to vaginal epithelial cells [ 32 ] . Since fucose contains an isomer of glucose and acts as one form of receptor site for Candida adhesion, it is possible that increased Candida colonization is proportional to glucose level.
First, PTEN's protein phosphatase activity is able to down-regulate focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation, which leads to the inactivation of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway [ 19 20 21 ] . Second, its lipid phosphatase activity targets the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 ] and thereby blocks activation of the protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway [ 11 18 22 23 24 ] . Whereas both of the above pathways are intimately involved in the control of cell growth and survival, PTEN-regulated FAK activity further appears to impinge on cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell invasion [ 20 21 ] . It therefore emerges that the loss of PTEN activity may confer increased survival ability, proliferative potential, and invasive capacity on cells, and thereby may promote progression towards a more malignant phenotype.
Among the adhesion molecules up-regulated in IBD, MAdCAM-1, the mucosal cell adhesion molecule, is thought to be preeminent in the development of chronic gut inflammation.
TNF-α treatment), showing that most of the TNF-α induced lymphocyte adhesion in this model was MAdCAM-1 dependent.
Stabilin-1 and -2 are homologous transmembrane proteins showing 7 fasciclin-like adhesion domains, 18-20 EGF domains, 1 X-link domain and 3-6 B-X(7)-B hyaluronan-binding motifs [ 40 ] . Stabilin-1 and stabilin-2 are likely to play a role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in vascular cells [ 40 ] .
