Sentences with phrase «closely than the cells»

We can not stay where we are at present, either physically or psychically; but looking far ahead we may descry an ultimate state in which, organically associated with one another (more closely than the cells of a single brain) we shall form m our entirety a single system, ultra-complex and, in consequence, ultra-centrated....

Not exact matches

Protein expression in these glioblastoma cells more closely mimicked that in real cancer cells than in 2D cultures of cells, indicating that this method could be used to study cancer (Nature Nanotechnology, DOI: 10.1038 / nnano.2010.23).

Looking more closely, Gage's team found that rather than binding to DNA, as most small RNAs discovered so far do, this one bound to the NRSF protein and blunted its activity, they report in the 19 March issue of Cell.

These artificial environments produce cells and tissues that resemble the real thing more closely than those grown lying flat in a petri dish.

The NRC report comes less than three months after Craig Venter and his colleagues at the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., published their manufacture and insertion of a synthetic bacterial genome into a closely related bacterial cell which was then able to self - replicate.

Rather than artificially triggering cancer by engineering genetic mutations, this model more closely mimics human liver cancer in that tumors develop as a natural consequence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a chronic metabolic disorder that causes liver damage, fibrosis and numerous cell mutations.

Melanopsin is a member of the opsin family, and is more closely related to photopigments in invertebrate visual cells than to pigments in vertebrate visual (rod and cone) cells.

«By using an animal model to expand tumor cells recently removed from patients, we hoped to re-create more closely what actually happens in patients with pancreatic cancer rather than by using existing artificial cell lines,» said Wei Zhang, Ph.D., an endowed Hanes and Willis Family Professor in cancer at Wake Forest School of Medicine, a part of Wake Forest Baptist, and principal investigator of the study.

If the marriage of stem cells and CRISPR follows a similar path, it might not be long before pigs have enough Homo sapiens in them not only to grow human hearts, lungs, livers, and kidneys for transplant but also to model human diseases more closely than current lab animals do and to test experimental drugs.

We chose this model because 1) it more closely recapitulates features of human pancreatic cancer than do s.c. - implanted tumors, 2) it can be used in immunocompetent mice to permit assessment of immune responses, and 3) the cells grow in vivo with predictable kinetics (34).

Comb jellies don't have any stinging cells, and are not technically jellyfish — corals and anemones are more closely related to jellyfish than these creatures are, even though these look similar.
