Example sentences for: nonmuscle
How can you use “nonmuscle” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In an animal cell, cytokinesis involves the generation of force in the region of the contractile ring (reviewed in [ 1 ] ). This was first appreciated in the 1960's when Rappaport demonstrated that the cleavage furrow cortex of echinoderm eggs produced force that was capable of bending a glass needle (reviewed in [ 1 ] ). Using calibrated needles, Rappaport directly measured the force that the contractile ring produced [ 2 ] . During the 1970's, nonmuscle myosin-II, the equivalent of the force producing molecule of skeletal muscle, was shown to localize to the region of the cleavage furrow cortex, suggesting the molecular basis for contractile force (reviewed in [ 1 3 ] ). Indeed, subsequent genetic studies revealed a nearly ubiquitous requirement for nonmuscle myosin-II during cytokinesis in organisms ranging from the cellular slime molds to metazoans (reviewed in [ 3 ] ).
A recent report showed that the expression of nonmuscle myosin heavy chain-B induced by Muristerone A in vitro [ 8 ] suppressed the subsequent tumorigenicity of the implanted cells in vivo.
After study, the strip was removed from the apparatus, trimmed of nonmuscle tissue, blotted dry, and weighed.
Load-dependent recruitment of crossbridges for D. discoideum myosin-II has not been examined so it is not known whether this is important for a simple eukaryotic nonmuscle myosin-II.
The study goes on to show that these cells can adopt this phenotype without the addition of cytokines or agents such as azacytidine that are known to activate the muscle gene program in nonmuscle cells.
