How can you use “dendritic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
LPTCs also possess a large dendritic arbor on which they receive input from numerous columnar elements arising presumably from the medulla and the lobula (for review see: [ 1, 16] Many of these LPTCs do not produce regular action potentials but rather respond to excitatory or inhibitory stimuli by a graded shift of membrane potential [ 17, 18, 19, 20].
Mature sympathetic neurons cultured from adult animals respond to BMP-7 with enhanced dendritic growth [ 15 ] , and treatment with BMP-7 enhances recovery in animal models of stroke [ 52 53 54 55 56 ] . Although BMP-5 mRNA was not detected in adult SCG, Western blot analyses indicate that BMP-5 protein is present in adult SCG (P.
These observations, together with previously published reports from other laboratories indicating significant levels of BMP-5 expression in the developing and adult nervous system [ 3 ] suggest a potential role for BMP-5 in modulating dendritic morphology not only during development, but also in adult nervous systems.
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.
This is in agreement with the reported literature where it has been reported that IL-12 can act only on pre-stimulated cells and has little or no effect on resting lymphocytes [ 27 ] . IL-12 is a cytokine produced to some degree by B lymphocytes but mostly by phagocytic cells including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, epidermal cells, keratinocytes and dendritic cells which are among the first cells to encounter a foreign antigen during infection in response to bacteria, bacterial products, intracellular parasites, etc [ 2 ] . It was found that IL-12 induced directional migration of highly enriched preparations of NK cells and CD3 activated cells but not resting T cells and monocytes.
