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

  • The ability of cancer cells to proliferate within a tissue depends on their response to adhesive and growth factor cues within the ECM [ 10 ] , and self-sufficiency in growth signals is one of the hallmarks of cancer [ 11 ] . To stimulate their own growth and proliferation in tissue, tumor cells can overproduce and release their own growth factors or obtain them from the matrix as they are released by matrix metalloproteinases [ 12 ] . The endothelial vasculature grows into the tumor and provides nutrients and oxygen [ 13 ] . This model is illustrated by the experimental results presented here, as both A549 (lung) and U118 (brain) cell lines are observed to upregulate one set of genetic programs related to cell growth and proliferation when in culture and another set related to cell adhesion, the extracellular matrix, growth substances, and neovascularization when developing as an in vivo tumor.

  • Mesangial cells, adult skin fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells from SPARC-null mice proliferate faster than their respective wild-type counterparts in media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) [ 17 ] . Although embryonic fibroblasts from the SPARC-null mice grow at the same rate as the wild-type cells when they are cultured in FBS, the SPARC-null embryonic fibroblasts exhibit down-regulated proliferation as compared to the wild-type cells when the fibroblasts are cultured in serum-free medium containing insulin as the sole mitogenic factor [ 16 ] . Thus, it appears that the role of SPARC in cell proliferation is cell type and environment dependent.

  • All BRCA1 antisense subclones were able to proliferate as well as exhibit a decreased death rate in estrogen-deprived media, whereas parental and control subclones failed to grow.

  • Theorists also disagree over why, once life began, it was able to persist for so long and to proliferate into such an astonishing variety of species.
