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

Treatment of the animals with ecdysone analog A/-(3-methoxy-2-ethylbenzoyl)-A/'-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-A/'-tert-butyl hydrazine (GS-E) was then carried out with subsequent evaluation of in vivo gene expression.
Some precedence for a significant allosteric effect of one heterodimer partner on another is provided by the inability of the insect ecdysone receptor to bind its steroid ligand in the absence of its heterodimer partner USP [ 21 ] .
The use of ecdysone inducible transgene expression in vitro [ 8 9 ] and in transgenic mice [ 10 ] has recently been demonstrated.
Although complementary sites for both miRNAs are found in the 3' UTRs of several putative nematode targets, these miRNAs are not physically linked in the C. elegans genome and their mutant phenotypes are principally due to misregulation of different transcripts [ 4 5 6 8 ] . The function of these miRNAs has not yet been explicitly demonstrated in other species, but Drosophila let-7 is regulated at the larval-pupal transition by ecdysone [ 49 ] , and all three members of this cluster are present in other insects and in vertebrates, thus implying broadly conserved functions.
The ecdysone hormones do not affect mammalian physiology like glucocorticoids or progestins and are not known to be toxic or teratogenic like tetracycline [ 11 ] allowing their use in both developmental studies with transgenic animals as well as in the context of gene therapy and tumor biology studies in mature animals.
