Words similar to morphogenic
Example sentences for: morphogenic
How can you use “morphogenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
The sequence and timing of morphogenic events in the C57BL/6J and A.BY/SnJ mouse strains is summarized in Figure 1, and is similar to that for rats [ 31].
It has been hypothesized that statins mediate their effects by increasing the expression in bone of the growth factor bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) which in turn leads to osteoblast differentiation and bone formation [ 2 ] . This mechanism of action has been addressed by Baumann et al.
Intracellular signaling machinery of adenylyl cyclase is required for cytoskeletal organization, vessel maturation, and vessel integrity [ 24 ] . PF4 is a chemokine that binds to FGF and is a known inhibitor of EC proliferation and migration [ 25 ] . Thus, the upregulation of PF4 might limit the degree of activation of ECs and morphogenic differentiation.
We postulate that myeloblastin in our model system may negatively regulate EC activation, thereby signaling to end EC morphogenic differentiation.
