Sentences with phrase «multiple cell divisions»

The transmission of different states of gene expression through multiple cell divisions and across generations has been termed «epigenetic,» since the underlying DNA sequence is identical in both states.

«That shows that the pattern of marks that was inherited is being transmitted through multiple cell divisions.»

Rading, M. M. and Engel, T. A. and Lipowsky, R. and Valleriani, A. (2011) Stationary Size Distributions of Growing Cells with Binary and Multiple Cell Division.

Not exact matches

In the clearest possible case, the ANT - OAR cell would differ from a zygote on all of the parameters noted above: The ANT - OAR cell would have a pattern of gene expression that is clearly distinct from a zygote; it would generate a homogeneous population of cells rather than multiple cell types; it would undergo simple cleavage divisions and not produce any multicellular structures.

In humans, basal progenitors can undergo multiple rounds of cell division, thereby substantially increasing neuron number and ultimately the size of the neocortex.

Strikingly, sustaining Pax6 expression in mouse basal progenitors increased their capacity to undergo multiple rounds of cell division, as typically observed in primates.

To become a full - blown cancer (as opposed to a cell with a single, potentially threatening mutation — a genetic risk factor for becoming a cancer) requires the accumulation of five to ten mutations, and statistically that requires multiple rounds of cell division and selection.

«Because technology now allows us to see the alternate pathways that cancer cells use to drive growth, it will enable us to identify ways to cut off multiple roads at the same time,» says James Heath, one of the paper's corresponding authors, at the NanoSystems Biology Cancer Center in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology.

D., a professor in the Division of Inflammation Biology.

These are anaplastic (undifferentiated cell, characteristic of malignant neoplasms) round cells that no longer resemble macrophages (white blood cells within tissues, produced by the division of monocytes) and display multiple criteria for malignancy.

GM awarded two contracts for advanced development of battery packs, which require the integration of multiple battery cells, to Compact Power, Inc., a subsidiary of Korean battery manufacturer LG Chem, based in Troy, Mich.; and Frankfurt, Germany - based Continental Automotive Systems, a division of Continental A.G., a tier one automotive supplier.
