How can you use “filamentous” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The first physical step in directional motility is the extension of cellular processes termed pseudopods [ 11 ] . Pseudopodia are flattened, fan shape cellular protrusions enriched in signaling molecules and cytoskeletal elements including filamentous actin, which is preferentially nucleated at the leading edge of a migrating cell [ 12 ] . A key candidate for regulation of the T lymphocyte actin cytoskeleton is the GTP-binding protein Rho.
Gene expression of SAHH was similar between spherical, ovoid and tubular conceptuses, but there was nearly a 7-fold increase in gene expression in filamentous conceptuses.
The C3 induced extensions were rich in filamentous actin, and C3 treated HPB-ALL cell bodies apparently lacked filopodial actin microspikes, present in normal spreading cells.
During early porcine development a rapid morphological transformation of the conceptus from a spherical (9-10 mm) to filamentous (> 150 mm) morphology is required to establish adequate placenta to uterine contact necessary for survival [ 2 ] . Characterization of the specific subset of genes regulating peri-implantation conceptus development and trophoblastic elongation in the pig provides valuable information concerning key developmental events essential to embryonic survival after trophoblastic elongation [ 1 ] .
Following completion of conceptus elongation, IL-1β gene expression and secretion rapidly decline and expression levels are more than 2000-fold lower in day 15 compared to day 12 filamentous conceptuses.
