  • (20) Following unilateral ovariectomy in the rat, the remaining ovary undergoes rapid compensatory changes including an increase in the number of antral follicles (follicular activation) and an increase in ovarian weight (compensatory ovarian hypertrophy).

Astral


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to, coming from, or resembling, the stars; starry; starlike.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) When a strong solution of the antimicrotubule drug, MBC, was applied at anaphase A, tubulin immunocytochemistry showed that both astral and spindle microtubules were destroyed completely in less than a minute.
  • (2) The antimicrotubule drug, methylbenzimidazole-2-ylcarbamate (MBC), destroyed astral microtubules and virtually eliminated intra-astral motility in vivo, whereas the antiactin drug, cytochalasin E, did not greatly affect the frequency of intra-astral motility episodes.
  • (3) The formation of the astral mitotic spindle is initiated at the time of nuclear envelope breakdown from an interaction between the replicated spindle poles (i.e.
  • (4) Shorter astral fibers, however, remained present in the enlarged ARB; presumably these had not been cut by the irradiation.
  • (5) After stopping the drug action the astral microtubules appear, but no other patterns of normalization in the mitotic apparatus occur.
  • (6) During the cytochalasin B treatment, either in bipolar or multipolar metaphases, there are destructions in the ultrastructure of the mitotic apparatus: there are no astral microtubules; in the poles there are diplosomes and duplex of centrioles with fibrillar material around both centrioles; kinetochores are of prometaphase type.
  • (7) A second subsystem, called ASTRAL, has been developed for the high-resolution Evans & Sutherland PS300 colour graphics terminal and is designed to manipulate complex display structures.
  • (8) When treated with taxol, the oocyte spindle became astral and microtubules appeared in the cortex of the oocyte in the form of small strands or bundles.
  • (9) The existence, structural basis and function of astral forces that are active during anaphase B in the fungus, Nectria haematococca, were revealed by experiments performed on living cells.
  • (10) Disruption of either the astral microtubules or actin function resulted in improper spindle orientation in approximately 40-50% of the cells.
  • (11) Both polarization and electron microscopy showed a substantial loss of non-kinetochore spindle microtubules with an increase in astral microtubules: this was particularly evident in the region adjacent to the spindle domain.
  • (12) Astral and kinetochore MTs were sensitive to MT disassembly conditions, and shortening of kinetochore MTs always accompanied reactivation of anaphase A. Interphase and interzonal spindle MTs were relatively stable to cold and calcium until extraction of cells was promoted by longer periods in the PM, or by higher concentrations of detergent.
  • (13) In sections of dividing sea urchin eggs detailed images of spindle and astral fibers were revealed.
  • (14) Five Leaves Left is one of those albums that seem tied to exhorting and then playing on a particular mood in the listener – like Astral Weeks and Forever Changes certainly and arguably stationed on that particular echelon of creativity (though I wouldn’t personally like to enter into that particular argument).
