Example sentences for: microfilaments

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

Our data suggest that while many mRNAs distribute equally between the cytosolic and cytoskeletal fractions, a specific set of transcripts associates preferentially with actin microfilaments.
These include: quin2-AM (intracellular [Ca 2+]), herbimycin A (tyrosine kinases), chelerythrine (PKC), cytochalasin D (actin microfilaments), and nocodazole (disassembly of microtubules).
Results in Table 1further showed that cytoskeletal changes elicited by resveratrol also appeared to be linked to integrity of actin microfilaments and microtubule network as the morphologic changes were also substantially lowered in cells treated with cytochalasin D and nocodazole, which inhibit formation of actin microfilaments and microtubule network, respectively.
The mechanism underlying this cytoskeletal rearrangement due to shear stress is ill-defined, but it has been found to be linked to tyrosine kinase activity, levels of intracellular calcium, intact actin microfilaments, and functional microtubule network, but is independent of protein kinase C, intermediate filaments, and stretch- and shear-activated mechanosensitive K +channels [ 28].
Intact actin microfilaments were required for the localization and/or anchoring of these transcripts.
