Example sentences for: glabrous
How can you use “glabrous” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These results suggest that, at least in part, the difference between keloid and palmar fibroblasts may be due to particular levels of TGFβ1-pathway related proteins at nonglabrous vs. glabrous sites.
primarily based on the presence or absence of ray florets and the fertility/sterility of disk florets: (1) Abrotanum Besser ( Artemisia of later authors) - ray florets pistillate and fertile; disk florets perfect and fertile; receptacle glabrous; (2) Absinthium (Mill.)
It is noteworthy that tension/mechanical loading is exerted through the ECM by fibroblasts expressing a "synthetic" fibroblast phenotype [ 53 ] . As TGFβ1 supports this phenotype, keloid formation at glabrous sites may be further limited by the PP fibroblast requirement for higher and/or more sustained levels of TGFβ1.
Fibroblasts at glabrous sites (palms, soles) do not promote keloid formation consistent with an earlier reduction in cellularity, necessary for a normal wound healing.
α-SMA content and apoptosis were evaluated as a function of serum, TGFβ1 and collagen type I. The observed phenotypic differences between fibroblasts grown from glabrous vs. nonglabrous tissue suggest a reason for the exclusion of keloids from specific body sites of keloid prone individuals.
