Example sentences for: post-mitotic

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

To investigate the basis for these and other neural phenotypes in dlA dx2 mutant embryos we compared the balance of proliferative neural precursor cells and post-mitotic neurons in wild-type and dlA dx2 mutant embryos.
By contrast, dlB expression appeared to be limited mostly to post-mitotic neurons [ 27].
By contrast, only post-mitotic neural cells have been shown to express Delta genes [ 18, 20, 23].
In zebrafish, at least three notch genes are expressed by proliferative neural precursors and at least three delta genes are expressed by subsets of proliferative precursors and post-mitotic neurons.
Together with the above data, we conclude that at least a portion of proliferative, neural precursor cells express each of these genes and that post-mitotic neurons express n1a , dlA , dlB and dlD . We speculate that the subset of BrdU-positive cells that express delta genes are those fated to exit the cell cycle following the next mitosis and we interpret our failure to detect n1b , n5, dlB and dlD RNA in all or some presumptive neurons as evidence that transcription of these genes is not maintained after cell cycle exit.
