How can you use “motility” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
To investigate cell motility, monolayers of dermal fibroblasts were prepared and wounded as described above.
Motility assays [ 48] and ATPase assays [ 48, 49, 50] using myosin-like proteins isolated from plants have also demonstrated the presence of myosins in plants.
Signaling by the IGF-IR has been studied in many different cell types and is important for proliferation, survival, motility, adhesion, transformation, tumor formation and metastasis [for reviews see refs [ 31 32 ] ]. The receptor can directly phosphorylate the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and Shc proteins in the intact cell causing activation of PI-3Kinase and ras signaling [ 33 ] . More recently, it has been shown that the IGF-IR signals via the Gβγ subunits of the heterotrimeric Gi complex to stimulate PI-3Kinase and ras, and also activates the JAK/Stat pathway to cause phosphorylation of Stat3 [ 34 35 ] .
Also of interest are genes that are upregulated in both the cancers, including IGFBP3 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3), which, interestingly, is thought to have proapoptotic activities [ 14 ] , and GSN (gelsolin), which has a role in cellular motility and acts as both a regulator and effector of apoptosis [ 15 ] . Further xenograft studies of the type presented here could examine the responses of the host tissue to the tumor (using a mouse microarray chip), as well as temporal changes in gene expression within the developing tumor.
Motility increases to one or two coils, but there is no backlash.
