Sentences with phrase «than as individual cells»

However, because M. barkeri has a complex cell wall, produces a thick outer layer of polysaccharide, and grows in large aggregates of cells rather than as individual cells, standard RNA extraction protocols give incomplete lysis of cells and result in low yields of poor - quality RNA.

Not exact matches

The individuals in these groups, moreover, are regarded as cells of an organic whole rather than as persons interacting with each other in relations some of which are of a more and some of a less determined nature.

Rather than carry out conventional bulk analysis of cells, the research group examined individual cells, screening them for the presence of two critical gene mutations common in AML, known as FLT3 and NPM1.

Using a technique known as single - cell RNA sequencing, the team explored more than 65,000 individual cells that exist under normal or inflammatory conditions, looking for genes that were more active in one state or subpopulation versus another.

Rather than looking out only for themselves like other bacterial species, the individual myxobacteria cells band together as a social group to assist their kin that become damaged.

That DNA includes slightly less than 21,000 protein - coding genes (some researchers once estimated we had more than 100,000 such genes); «genes» for 8800 small RNA molecules and 9600 long noncoding RNA molecules, each of which is at least 200 bases long; and 11,224 stretches of DNA that are classified as pseudogenes, «dead» genes now known to really be active in some cell types or individuals.

His team has developed an innovative technique for detecting these reservoirs — a way of taking a «photo» of each individual cell hiding the virus — a significant breakthrough, as this approach is 1,000 times more accurate than current technologies.

However some technical challenges still need to be taken to make the technology more accessible and usable to its full potential: gaining selective and comprehensive genetic access to the neurons of interest, controlling variation in the expression of the optogenetic tools (when using viruses) and its precise localization (axon vs. presynaptic terminals), tailoring light - delivery system signals to individual cells in a population rather than the population as a whole, developing observation techniques which have the same spatial and temporal resolution as those tools... to cite only a few of them.

To further maximize accuracy, the researchers recommend that future studies involving stem cells use cell lines from as many individuals as possible rather than generating multiple cell lines from the same individual.

By reviewing the experimental studies that compared the mechanics of individual normal and cancer cells, we argue that cancer cells can indeed be considered as softer than normal cells.
