Example sentences for: adhesion
How can you use “adhesion” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Administration of IL-10 in vitro prevents TNF-α stimulated expression of MAdCAM-1, and also blocks lymphocyte adhesion to endothelial cells to the same extent as dexamethasone treatment, currently a key therapy in IBD [ 5 ] . Interestingly, the low basal levels of MAdCAM-1 expressed by control (cytokine unstimulated) cells were not affected by IL-10 transfection.
These data are consistent with conclusions from previous studies indicating that dendrite-promoting activity is restricted to BMPs from the 60A or dpp (BMPs 2 and 4) subgroups and is not observed with BMPs from other subgroups such as BMP-3, BMP-13 or dorsalin, or with other members of the TGF-β superfamily such as activin, TGF-β1, -β2 or -β3 [ 16 17 ] . Functional redundancy between BMPs of the 60A subgroup has been previously reported with respect to other developmental endpoints [ 6 ] , of which some, such as upregulation of cell adhesion molecules [ 30 ] , may be directly relevant to effects on dendritic growth.
BSA = Bovine serum albumin; CSC = cigarette smoke condensate; ERK = extracellular signal-regulated kinase; GM-CSF = granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; HBE = human bronchial epithelial cell; IL = interleukin; IκB = inhibitor of NFκB; MAPK = mitogen-activated protein kinase; MEK-1 = MAPK kinase; NFκB = nuclear factor-kappa B; NHBE = normal human bronchial epithelial cell; PBS = phosphate-buffered saline; PDTC = pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate; RT-PCR = reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction; sICAM = soluble intercellular adhesion molecule; TNF = tumour necrosis factor; TUNEL = deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling
The adhesion of SMCs to fibronectin is mediated through β1 integrins [ 1 26 ] . We confirmed these previous findings for our RASMCs, by showing a complete block of cell attachment to fibronectin by EDTA (an agent that blocks all integrins), anti-β1 blocking mAb, and RGD peptide, but not by the negative control RAD peptide (Fig.
Both cell adhesion and connective tissue remodeling are indispensable for normal development and maintenance of tissue integrity [ 13 14 15 ] . The differential expression of proteoglycans, collagens and cell adhesion molecules (for example cadherin 13) might be involved in genital morphogenesis and later stability of sexually dimorphic traits of the external genitalia.
