Example sentences for: micropodia

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

While the transiently occurring filopodia and retraction fibers can largely be distinguished only by time-lapse video microscopy [ 22], both, micropodia and lamellipodia, are functionally related to movement of cells.
While the cytoskeleton of micropodia appeared to connect to the cytoskeleton located at the edge of the cells, by contrast, filaments of ultramicroextensions seemed to extend from or connect to cytoplasmic, rather than subcortical structures.
Ultramicroextensions may be difficult to distinguish by immunofluorescence microscopy from micropodia that also appear as small fluorescent dots on the cell body, or they may remain undetected due to low fluorescence signal owing to their small size.
We use the term "micropodia" here for morphologically describing filopodia, microspikes, and retraction fibers, and to differentiate these structures from lamellipodia.
In SEM, micropodia, ultramicroextensions and microvilli were well preserved, but their lipid membranes apparently were lost.
