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

  • Although deregulated HER-2 / neu activity can strongly stimulate cytoplasmic signalling pathways, which in turn impinge on c- myc at multiple levels causing its deregulated expression [ 46 ] , this scenario does not appear to be active in NNBC because the recurrence rate of 22 c- myc and HER-2 / neu coamplified patients was only 9%.

  • First, PTEN's protein phosphatase activity is able to down-regulate focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation, which leads to the inactivation of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway [ 19 20 21 ] . Second, its lipid phosphatase activity targets the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 ] and thereby blocks activation of the protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway [ 11 18 22 23 24 ] . Whereas both of the above pathways are intimately involved in the control of cell growth and survival, PTEN-regulated FAK activity further appears to impinge on cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell invasion [ 20 21 ] . It therefore emerges that the loss of PTEN activity may confer increased survival ability, proliferative potential, and invasive capacity on cells, and thereby may promote progression towards a more malignant phenotype.

  • Markets operate on felt signals, and it is taking too long for the signal that there is an excess of doctors (especially very high-priced specialists) to impinge upon the supply-producing parts of the system.
