How To Use chemotaxis In A Sentence
- The formation of pseudopods and lamellae after ligation of chemoattractant sensitive G-protein coupled receptors is essential for chemotaxis.
- This mechanism gives the bacterium its ability to follow the gradient of chemical concentration, i.e., chemotaxis.
- Naama Barkai's deep understanding of the relevant biology and physics allows her to combine experiments and theory to develop novel solutions to fundamental biological problems such as chemotaxis, embryonic development and the organisation of the cellular transcription programmes. Naama Barkai wins 2008 FEBS/EMBO Women in Science Award
- Using a system of chemical communication known as chemotaxis, bacteria shape the structure of their colonies, sometimes sending an attractive signal, sometimes sending chemicals that tell others to 'stay away.' SEEDMAGAZINE.COM
- This adaptive ability to control movement in response to an environmental stimulus is called chemotaxis, and the research team coined the term predataxis to describe M. xanthus behavior in response to prey. Infection Control Today Articles
- However, because in this case transferred genes as a group must provide an immediate benefit to the host, selfish operon model would require grouping and cotransfer of multiple genes involved in flagellar assembly and would therefore not explain emergence of selective pairing between chemotaxis genes. PLoS Biology: New Articles
- This complex is crucial for a process known as chemotaxis which controls the movement of a bacterium when it senses a chemical or nutrient gradient in its environment. PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories
- These include regulation of collagen synthesis, inflammatory cell chemotaxis, and DNA synthesis.
- An elevated glucose level also affects polymorphonuclear lymphocytes, causing decreased chemotaxis, diapedesis, and phagocytosis, which in turn leads to a decreased ability to fight infection.
- Inhibition of neutrophil respiratory burst and chemotaxis in vitro by thiopentone but not methohexitone
