Example sentences for: filopodial
How can you use “filopodial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
It is generally accepted that the driving force for cell movement is provided by the dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, directing protrusion (lamellipodia and filopodia) at the front of the cell and retraction at the rear [ 30 31 ] . Although we have not examined the ultrastructure of the dermal fibroblasts at the edge of wound sites, we showed previously by electron microscopy that in the lens of SPARC-null mice numerous cellular processes extended into the ECM of the lens capsule [ 23 ] . We further showed that, in contrast to the abnormal filopodial projections at the lens cell-ECM interface, cell-cell contacts between the neighboring lens epithelial cells and between the lens epithelial and fiber cells were normal [ 23 ] . The results indicate that disassembly of cell-cell contacts between lens cells is not taking place, despite the forward movement of the lens cells into the ECM of the capsule.
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.
After C3 electroporation, HPB-ALL were allowed to spread on VCAM-1 for 1 hour, and TRITC-phalloidin staining demonstrated the complete absence of fine filopodial structures.
have shown that, initially, many filopodial extensions arise from one cell and are directed toward a neighbour.
