Example sentences for: micropodia
How can you use “micropodia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We use the term "micropodia" here for morphologically describing filopodia, microspikes, and retraction fibers, and to differentiate these structures from lamellipodia.
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.
5 % DOTMAC in PBS(+) on ice for 5 min, followed by fixation with 1.0% PFA in PBS on ice for 20 min (DOTMAC/PFA method), preserved not only micropodia (white arrow, Figure 2, Eand 2F), but also microvilli (black arrow, Figure 2Eand 2F), and ultramicroextensions (white arrowhead, Figure 2F).
In SEM, micropodia, ultramicroextensions and microvilli were well preserved, but their lipid membranes apparently were lost.
