Sentences with phrase «salamander cells»

Instead of using light energy to produce food to support the salamander host, as happens in coral - algae interactions, the algae in salamander cells struggle to adapt to their new environment.

They found that algae inside salamander cells are stressed and change the way they make energy.

«What we set out to look at now is the kind of molecular change that happens when the salamander cells and green algae cells are together.»

In the new eLife study, the researchers compared RNA from the cells of five different groups: salamander cells with algae, salamander cells without algae, the algal cells living in salamander cells, the algae living in the egg capsules, and algae cultured in the laboratory.

Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and Gettysburg College found that this symbiosis, the only known example that includes a vertebrate species, puts stress on algal cells, changing the way they make energy, but does not seem to negatively impact salamander cells.

Not exact matches

A similar experiment with salamanders started with 6.7 x 107 J. lividum cells per milliliter and the same concentration of Bd zoospores.

Some animals, such as the axolotl salamander, can regrow new body parts in a process that involves the generation of new cells.

When that layer disappears, proteins in the epidermis and the dermis interact and stimulate cell division, a process that also occurs in salamanders when they regenerate their limbs and tails.

But recent research has revealed that the algae are actually located inside cells all over the spotted salamander's body.

This cell - within - a-cell relationship can also be found in corals and in the guts of cicadas, but the green alga - spotted salamander interaction is the only known example of a symbiont entering the cells of a vertebrate species.

The researchers found that the salamanders overexpress several genes that might suppress an immune response, suggesting that the host cell experience is neutral or beneficial.

Ines Wagner (Tanaka, TUD)-- «Identification and proteolytic activation of a serum factor that induces S - phase re-entry in salamander muscle cells» (2012)

Isolated salamander heart cells will divide in a culture dish, and scientists are trying to understand the mechanics of this cell division.

In 1938, Hans Spemann showed that a nucleus from a fertilized salamander egg that had already undergone cell division several times could be implanted into a cell from a newly fertilized salamander egg that is enucleated (has had its nucleus removed) and create an entire adult salamander (Spemann, 1938).

The heart cells of the Mexican salamander provide a mystery and challenge to cardiovascular scientists.

«Humans have very limited capacity for regeneration, while other species like salamanders have the remarkable ability to functionally regenerate limbs, heart tissue and even the spinal cord after injury,» said lead researcher Karen Echeverri, PhD, assistant professor in the department of genetics, cell biology and development at the University of Minnesota.

In his research on the axolotl, which is a Mexican salamander, Dr. Godwin discovered that when it comes to regenerating tissue without scarring, a white blood cell called the macrophage may be a triggering factor.

The potential to create new muscle cells through cell division, much like a salamander does, could offer new hope to the millions living with damaged hearts.

Dr. Godwin's work explores the molecular signals from nerve and immune cells that underpin the resistance to scarring, and the activation of regeneration in salamanders.

Some animals, such as the axolotl salamander, can regrow new body parts in a process that involves the generation of new cells.
