Example sentences for: hox

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

This suggests that both Hox transcription factors may, in addition to the delay in chondrocyte maturation, induce specific changes in gene expression.
Whether the elevated Ihh mRNA levels originate from increased expression in cells that make Ihh normally (prehypertrophic and hypertrophic chondrocytes) or from ectopic activation by the Hox transcription factors in proliferating cells, remains to be investigated.
One difficulty with interpreting such qualitative evidence, including Hox gene orthology, is that almost any pattern can be found in nature if one looks.
By extending the collection of candidate genes, or screening on microarrays, it may thus be possible to identify specific targets for Hox transcription factors in chondrocytes.
In our system, the biological effects of Hox genes in chondrocytes can be modulated by external factors, and this finding points to the importance of gene-environment interactions as modulators of Hox gene function.
