Example sentences for: elongation
How can you use “elongation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Trophoblastic elongation is initiated when a conceptus reaches a 10 mm sphere and then rapidly transforms into a long filamentous thread greater than 150 mm in length within 2-3 hrs [ 3 ] . The process of trophoblastic elongation is characterized by four distinct morphological stages (spherical, ovoid, tubular and filamentous).
Further experiments are necessary to determine if BMP4 modulates retinal ganglion cell axon sprouting, elongation, targeting or maintenance, or if BMP4 regulates events in optic nerve glia that affect these processes.
Elongation of the conceptus is a short-lived phenomenon that results from cellular remodeling and migration, rather than through cellular hyperplasia [ 3 ] . Secretion of the conceptus produced maternal recognition signal, estrogen, occurs simultaneously with rapid elongation of the trophoblastic membrane [ 4 5 ] . Conceptus release of estrogen induces an acute phase response by the endometrium that alters the uterine environment, which may be unfavorable for less developed littermates [ 1 6 ] . Because the pig has a diffuse epitheliochorial type of placentation, rapid trophoblastic elongation provides an essential biological function to satisfy the conceptus' necessity for maximal placental-uterine contact to ensure adequate nutrient exchange throughout gestation [ 2 ] .
Perhaps components required for nucleation are de-localized by BDM allowing new polymerization to be re-directed to filopodia, as filopodial extension is thought to be driven by elongation and not nucleation [ 27 ] . The extension of the growth cone itself could result from a similar diversion of actin monomer from nucleation of new filaments to extension of existing filaments.
Interestingly, fission yeast caa1/csn1 deletion mutants show a set of defects, which partially overlaps that found in pcu3 disruptants: slow growth, cell elongation, and sensitivity to UV-irradiation, but not hydroxyurea [ 6, 21].
