Words similar to finger-like
Example sentences for: finger-like
How can you use “finger-like” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In the fetal/embryonic nucleus, elongated fiber cells with numerous long, finger-like projections and furrowed membranes were evident (not shown).
The finger-like extensions initially form from a rounded cell body and elongate throughout the duration of the assay.
Molecular modeling has shown that this domain contains two zinc finger-like motifs connected through linking C 3 HC 4 regions [ 18 ] . Naturally occurring splice variants of the gene suggest at least two transcription initiation points above and below the coding region for the RING domain [ 19 ] . Truncation studies have shown that the RING domain may function in direct protein binding of ER-α, ATF1, and BARD1, a ubiquitin ligase [ 20 21 22 ] . While zinc RING domains are common motifs in several protein families such as oncoproteins and regulatory proteins, the actual function of the domain differs among these proteins.
When HPB-ALL cells are plated onto β1 integrin substrate such as fibronectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), or even antibodies to α4β1 integrins, they respond by extending pseudopodia and displaying a highly flattened, spread morphology (figure 3, panels 4, 7, and 10, and ref [ 32 ] ). However, electroporation of C3 appeared to alter HPB-ALL morphology resulting in the extension of very fine branched finger-like cellular processes when cells were plated on the β1 integrin substrates Fn (figure 3, panel 6), VCAM-1 (figure 3, panel 9), or a mAb specific for β1 integrins (figure 3, panel 12).
Once the aberrant finger-like projections were formed, no pseudopodial retraction was noted during this time period, and the cells became completely immobile.
