Example sentences for: pseudopodia
How can you use “pseudopodia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Altered pseudopodia are rich in filamentous actin
Since then, the terminology has varied in the literature and extensions have been designated as pseudopodia [ 24], microextensions [ 25], retraction fibers [ 25], microspikes [ 26], filopodia [ 24, 27, 28], often without a clear definition of these terms.
Under normal or control electroporation conditions, some of the VCAM-1 adherent cells would retract pseudopodia, then form new extensions in different directions.
When HPB-ALL cells are plated onto β1 integrin substrate such as fibronectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), or even antibodies to α4β1 integrins, they respond by extending pseudopodia and displaying a highly flattened, spread morphology (figure 3, panels 4, 7, and 10, and ref [ 32 ] ). However, electroporation of C3 appeared to alter HPB-ALL morphology resulting in the extension of very fine branched finger-like cellular processes when cells were plated on the β1 integrin substrates Fn (figure 3, panel 6), VCAM-1 (figure 3, panel 9), or a mAb specific for β1 integrins (figure 3, panel 12).
The phenotype induced by ADP-ribosylation of Rho in T lymphocytes appeared different than that induced in fibroblast models, where microinjection of C3 results in fibroblast retraction of pseudopodia, with the cell body rounding up eventually to become non-adherent [ 17 ] . Video time-lapse microscopy demonstrated the elongation of aberrant pseudopods in HPB-ALL cells plated on the β1 substrate VCAM-1, rather than an altered retraction of already formed pseudopods.
