Example sentences for: filament

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

The pTX-MKC2 plasmid was therefore transfected into 3xALA myosin II cells, which are resistant to myosin filament hyperphosphorylation and disassembly due to elimination of phosphorylation target sites in the myosin tail [ 24 ] . The resultant 3xALA/pTX-MKC2 cells could be propagated in suspension culture even after selection for elevated expression in 40 μg/ml G418.
Isolated human neural progenitors spontaneously aggregate in these conditions to produce a cell cluster called a NS, and 85%–90% of NS cells produce the intermediary filament Nestin (Figures 1 and 2), a putative marker of neural stem and progenitor cells [19].
Both VASP and WAVE function in controlling actin dynamics at the leading edge - VASP is thought to promote filament elongation, and WAVE, actin nucleation [ 25 26 ] . Both VASP and WAVE1 were de-localized from the leading edge after 1 min of BDM treatment [Figure 4].
Both alphaA and alphaB can bind specifically to actin, in vitro [ 13 ] and in vivo [ 14 ] . Although actin filament formation has been shown to be necessary for differentiation of lens epithelial cells [ 15 ] , the significance of alpha-crystallin's interaction with actin in differentiation is not known.
For example, replacing the 3' UTR of the mRNA for the intermediate filament protein, vimentin, with the β-actin 3'UTR sequence results in mislocalization of vimentin transcript, altered fibroblast morphology, and impaired motility [ 15 ] .
