Example sentences for: astrocyte

How can you use “astrocyte” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The astrocyte lineage of the LTR lines has been published [ 6 13 ] . The astrocyte lineage of the tkT lines was confirmed by the presence of the astrocyte-specific intermediate filament protein, GFAP [ 14 ] (Figure 1).
The RU486 effect is not likely to be mediated through PR in the Lifr -/- astrocyte precursors, since astrocytes have low levels of PR's that are only detectable in females [ 76 ] .
All of the lines contained GFAP, whereas NIH 3T3 cells treated with dibutyryl cAMP at the same level as the astrocyte lines did not.
LIF is also responsible for increased GFAP expression [ 69 ] , while signaling through LIFR:gp130 is critical in fostering the differentiation of neuronal precursors into astrocytes [ 70 ] mediated through STAT3 [ 71 72 73 74 ] . Glial cells respond to GC, which, in turn, can affect transcriptional control of GFAP level either positively or negatively [ 74 ] . The present study shows that GC's can play a critical role in hindering astrocyte development in the absence of LIFR as seen through the partial abrogation of this defect following exposure to RU486 in Lifr -/- mice.
To test for astrocyte lineage, early passage cells were grown in dibutyryl cAMP (Sigma) to enhance GFAP expression.
