Words similar to microspikes

Example sentences for: microspikes

How can you use “microspikes” 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.
2F, we observed microspikes at the periphery of the cells.
Filopodia or microspikes extend actively from the cell surface, whereas retraction fibers are extensions that have been left behind by a retracting lamellipodium or that are derived from an attached filopodium.
A detailed study of microspikes by Adams indicated that these structures consist of actin, the actin binding protein, 55 kd/fascin and myosin [ 40 ] . The perinuclear staining and microspikes of cells under oxidative stress in this study are very similar to those observed by Huot et al.
HGF/SF induces mitogenic and morphogenic changes, including rapid membrane ruffling, formation of microspikes, and increased cellular motility [ 12 13 ] . The diverse biological effects of HGF/SF are all mediated by Met, which is preferentially expressed on epithelial cells [ 14 ] . In vivo this receptor-ligand pair is essential for normal embryonic development [ 15 16 ] . Whereas Met signaling clearly has a role in normal cellular processes, this signaling pathway has also been implicated in tumor development and progression.
