How can you use “monolayer” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The endothelial monolayer in vivo acts as a signal transduction interface for mechanical forces, in particular, shear stress.
The impact of ECM (collagen) on α-SMA accumulation was also evaluated in two other experimental settings (data not shown): monolayer cultures of fibroblasts grown with ascorbic acid to permit collagen secretion, and monolayer cultures of fibroblasts grown on collagen I coated plates.
For example, mouse embryonal stem (ES) cells with homozygous deletion of the PTEN gene exhibit increased anchorage-independent growth as compared to normal ES cells [ 12 ] . Similarly, transfer of a wild type PTEN gene into anchorage-independent human glioblastoma cells (which lack functional PTEN), results in their greatly reduced ability to form colonies in soft agar [ 4 5 6 ] . The interpretation of these latter findings, however, is complicated by the strong anti-proliferative effects of PTEN even in monolayer culture, which is consistently observed when the wild type version of this gene is introduced into PTEN-negative tumor cells [ 4 6 7 8 9 10 18 33 ] . Moreover, in human glioma and breast cancer cell lines, the ectopic expression of wild type PTEN leads to anoikis, which is apoptosis initiated by the disruption of cell matrix-interactions [ 23 34 35 36 ] .
After incubation, the content of the luminal chamber was cleared and the HUVEC monolayer was washed once with 1× Dulbecco PBS (DPBS) (Biofluids).
We found that BRCA1 antisense cells, both as pooled populations and individual subclones, also exhibited enhanced growth in monolayer culture on plastic in the presence of estrogen compared with control vector-infected colonies.
