Example sentences for: oncotic

How can you use “oncotic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Initially, MTX causes a graded increase in cytosolic free Ca 2+concentration ([Ca 2+] i ). This is followed closely in time by the opening of cytolytic/oncotic pores (COP) that allow the exchange of large organic molecules of molecular weight less than ~800 Daltons across the plasma membrane.
All of the cells treated with vehicle alone (DMSO) before MTX exhibited the typical blebbing profile and nuclear staining indicative of rapid oncotic cell death.
U73343 rescues cells from MTX-induced oncotic cell death.
The large pores activated by MTX have been referred to as cytolytic/oncotic pores, or COP, since their activation ultimately leads to the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an indication of necrotic or oncotic cell death [ 9].
However, at ~400 sec, ethidium uptake resumed and increased to an intermediate value as was seen in Fig 3. This secondary uptake of ethidium correlated in time with a partial LDH release (Fig 4, bottom panel, red triangles ). U73343 alone had no effect on LDH release (Fig 4, bottom panel, green squares ). These results directly demonstrate that a percentage of cells within the population died by oncosis, but perhaps more importantly, that a significant number of the cells are rescued from MTX-induced oncotic cell death when U73343 is added within a short time-window after MTX.
