Sentences with phrase «of cadherins»

However, two types of cells in the olfactory epithelium (specialized tissue responsible for sense of smell), are mixed together and form a mosaic pattern despite expressing different types of cadherins.

The accumulation of different amounts of cadherins produced different levels of adhesiveness between cell junctions, resulting in a mosaic pattern.

Sequencing the DNA of resistant pink bollworm collected from the field in India, the team found that the insects produce remarkably diverse disrupted variants of cadherin.

The researchers learned that the astonishing diversity of cadherin in pink bollworm from India is caused by alternative splicing, a novel mechanism of resistance that allows a single DNA sequence to code for many variants of a protein.

The U of G researchers found that it is precisely under conditions of low oxygen that cancer cells trigger the production of cadherin - 22, putting in motion a kind of protein boost that helps bind cells together, enhancing cellular movement, invasion and likely metastasis.

Coincidentally, co-author Lawrence Shapiro, PhD, at Columbia, was building a crystal structure of cadherin - 11 and is now working with Byers and Brenner to show how the molecule binds to Celebrex and other small molecule drug cadherin - 11 inhibitors.

I was certainly surprised when I found the expression [production of protein] of one particular class of cadherins, N - cadherin, resulted in the disruption of cell - cell contacts.

This study highlights that cell adhesion results not only from the formation of a cadherin - catenin - actin complex, but from the activity of more than 500 interacting proteins.

(Right) Cells with different types of cadherins and nectins make a mosaic pattern through partial mingling.

As hearts age and lose elasticity, the fibroblasts become overactive, producing mass amounts of cadherin - 11 until the three thin leaflets that make up aortic valves become virtually immobile.

W. E. Reintsch, A. Habring - Mueller, R. W. Wang, A. Schohl, F. Fagotto, beta - Catenin controls cell sorting at the notochord - somite boundary independently of cadherin - mediated adhesion.

Previous studies showed that cells which express the same type of cadherin interact with each other, but cells with different types of cadherins remain separate.

For both cancer types, the research team used molecular tools to reduce the amount of cadherin - 22.

Two genes that have been determined to increase an individual's likelihood of committing a violent crime have recently been identified: the MAOA, or warrior gene, and a variant of cadherin 13, which has been linked to substance abuse and ADHD.
