cells changed in response to the macaque's new social rank within 3 months of establishing the new groups, and the cells got better at fighting infection.
Stern's aim was to define how cervical
cells change during cancer progression, and if dysplasia was a step in this process from normal cell to malignant tumor.
Although scientists knew that the precursor
cells changed shape as they developed into adult cells, it wasn't clear whether shape determined the cells» fate.
It is caused by an inherited mutation in the beta - globin gene that makes red blood
cells change from their normal shape, which is round and pliable (like a plastic bag filled with corn oil), into a rigid sickle - shaped cell (like a corn flake).
Some types of HPV may
cause cell changes that sometimes lead to cervical cancer and certain other genital and throat cancers.

immune cell changes during immunotherapy.
UBC's Shernaz Bamji and Stefano Brigidi have discovered how
brain cells change during learning and memories.
Microfluidic tools for precision measurements of cell migration speed reveal that migratory speed of
individual cells changes stochastically from parent cells to their descendants, while the average speed of the cell population remains constant through successive generations.
When an injury occurs, cells known as
glial cells change into repair cells and disseminate into the wound, where they help the skin to regenerate, researchers from the University of Zurich have shown.
Results showed that the ratio of senescent to naïve
T cells changed favorably in the majority of participants, with most of the study subjects regaining greater numbers of the naïve variety.

detecting cell changes early on, the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPST) no longer advised that women get a yearly pap test within three years of becoming sexually active or by age 21.
For Ullrich and Thiel, the direct evidence of a rapid and complete adaptation to zero gravity in less than a minute begs the question as to whether previous
cell changes measured after hours or days were also the result of an adaptation process.
If the Gq protein is blocked, undesired white
fat cells change into energy - consuming brown cells.
An abnormal Pap test result means that there are abnormal
cell changes on your cervix.

more cell changes and divisions and attaches itself to your uterus wall, your developing baby reaches the embryonic stage.
A breast biopsy involves the removal of a small tissue sample from the breast for lab testing to determine if any
cancerous cell changes are present.
As Korch points out,
cells change appearance and function as they grow on plastic and are chemically manipulated while being studied.
In this
zone cells change from a state of rapid division into one in which they drastically increase their volume by elongating — the first stage of differentiation.

cells changed minimally during the fly's evolution from its ancestors, which did not undergo metamorphosis.
During development,
cells change forms and regroup from tight packs of epithelial cells to more mobile, loose arrays of mesenchymal cells.
STARVING DICHTY CELL: A starving Dictyostelium
discoideum cell changes its physicality when food is scarce: it reaches out for other «dichty» cells to join with.
