Sentences with word «puncta»

(B) Pcex - 1:: unc - 7S:: gfp (AVA, AVD interneurons) rescues forward locomotion but does not concentrate in puncta near B cell bodies.

As expected, this construct (minus F56B12) rescued forward but not backward locomotion, and UNC - 7S was strongly expressed as puncta in the nerve ring and ventral nerve cord, but not the dorsal nerve cord (consistent with lack of DA and DB motor neuron expression).

We can only speculate as to why there is a wider distribution of UNC - 9:: GFP puncta in an unc - 9 background.

Possibly in the respective mutant backgrounds homomeric channels may form but are not recognizable by our methods because they do not particularly stand out as brighter puncta offset from the ventral nerve cord near B cell bodies.

Some breeds such as poodles are predisposed to imperforate puncta which is when the nasolacrimal duct does not develop right resulting in chronic epiphora due to lack of drainage.

Normally tears exit the eye through small holes called puncta, which leads to a duct called the nasolacrimal duct which empties out into the nose.

Confocal analysis revealed that apoptotic hemocytes are very different in morphology to those exposed to Mcf1 appearing hugely swollen and containing fluorescent puncta having engulfed their dying neighbouring hemocytes (Figure 3E).

The rise in C3 protein level correlated with decreases in synaptic puncta and synaptophysin densities and synaptic protein, neuron loss, and reduced synaptic plasticity.

At this stage animals are large enough such that the cell bodies of motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord are well spaced, making it less ambiguous in deciding if presumptive gap junction puncta are associated with a particular motor neuron.

Determination of the expression pattern of antibody - or GFP - labelled puncta (presumptive UNC -7-containing gap junctions) in various mutant backgrounds was based on examination of at least two (typically more) independently isolated transgenic lines for each condition.

(A) In wild - type (wt; N2), UNC - 9:: GFP expressed in B motor neurons (Pacr - 5:: unc - 9:: gfp) visualizes puncta in the ventral nerve cord localized near B cell bodies.

(D) In unc - 9 daf - 6 unc - 7 animals, Pacr - 5:: unc - 9:: gfp is expressed more diffusely in cell bodies (few bright puncta).

UNC - 7S does not concentrate in puncta near B cell bodies.

The tubes that connects each anal gland to the anus, (called ducts) as well as the resultant openings in the rectal wall (called puncta), are very narrow.

UNC - 9:: GFP was widely expressed in the ventral nerve cord as puncta, but UNC - 7L was principally associated with cell bodies, and no co-localization was observed (Figure 10E).

«Our mathematical results captured how tear fluid makes its way around the eyelids to the drainage holes called «puncta,» in the inside corner of the eye,» he said.

The distribution and morphology of neurons and axonal endings (puncta) immunostained with antibodies to gamma - aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine (Gly) were analyzed in auditory brainstem, thalamic,

(C) In unc - 9 (fc16), UNC - 9:: GFP puncta are more widely distributed, but the brightest puncta remain associated with B cell bodies.

Some of these puncta could potentially be associated with B motor neuron cell bodies — they appeared to be offset from other puncta expressed along the ventral nerve cord — but the intensity of their signal did not stand out compared to other puncta.

(D) UNC - 7L expressed in interneurons (Punc - 7S:: unc - 7L [M121L]-RRB- rescues forward locomotion in unc - 7 (e5) and localizes to puncta near B motor neuron cell bodies.

(E) UNC - 7L expressed in B motor neurons (Pacr - 5:: unc - 7L [M121L]-RRB- in unc - 9 daf - 6 unc - 7 does not localize to puncta but remains associated with cell bodies (red); co-expressed UNC - 9:: GFP (Pacr - 5:: unc - 9:: gfp; green) is distributed throughout the motor neuron processes.

Tear ducts or puncta are located at the inner corners of your upper and lower eyelid.

In the case of imperforate puncta, surgery may be necessary to open the puncta or to create an opening into the nasal cavity for tears to drain via dacryocystorhinotomy.

Under normal circumstances they drain via tiny apertures (puncta).

Atresia of nasolacrimal puncta: a condition where the holes on the inside of the lower eyelids (puncta) are too small or closed so tears spill over the lid instead of draining to the nose.

Sometimes the puncta are congenitally closed (common in poodles and cocker spaniels) and can be surgically re-opened.

Old infections or injuries may scar closed the puncta, canaliculi, or nasolacrimal ducts.

Atresia of nasolacrimal puncta: a condition where the holes on the inside of the lower eyelids (puncta) are too small, closed or blocked so tears spill over the lid instead of draining to the nose.
