What's the difference between epidermal and sagittocyst?
Epidermal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the epidermis; epidermic; cuticular.
Example Sentences:
(1) With UVB treatment clinical improvement was achieved, and a less pronounced decrease in epidermal LC was noticed.
(2) Bradykinin also stimulated arachidonic acid release in decidual fibroblasts, an effect which was potentiated in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF), but which was not accompanied by an increase in PGF2 alpha production.
(3) Epidermal growth factor reduced plating efficiency by about 50% for A431 cells in different cell cycle phases whereas a slight increase in plating efficiency was seen for SiHa cells.
(4) Intraepidermal clefting starts at the junction between the basal and epidermal layers, and later involves all of the levels of the stratum spinosum.
(5) It has been found that the epidermal staining pattern for ICAM-1 in each of these diseases in distinctive and different in each disease.
(6) Normal cultured human epidermal melanocytes and melanoma cells derived from three different malignant melanomas were examined for synthesis of extracellular matrix components before and after treatment for one day with interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, or both.
(7) In this paper sensitive and selective bioassays are described for growth factors acting on substrate-attached cells, in particular members of the epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor beta, platelet-derived growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, and heparin-binding growth factor families.
(8) Similarly, single factors (platelet-derived growth factor) or combinations of factors (epidermal growth factor (EGF) + insulin, platelet-derived growth factor + EGF + insulin, or fibroblast growth factor + EGF + insulin) that induced proliferation of the fibroblasts, also induced increased expression of M-CSF.
(9) The epidermal glycoproteins were probed with the lectin, concanavalin A (Con A).
(10) The specificity of the assay was further demonstrated by a lack of competition of cytochrome C, myoglobin, epidermal growth factor or bovine serum albumin with bFGF for binding to the antibodies.
(11) Human Caco-2 enterocytes were cultured on matrix proteins (collagen I, laminin, fibronectin) with growth factors (epidermal growth factor [EGF] and transforming growth factor-beta 1 [TGF-beta 1]) and the tyrosine kinase and prostaglandin inhibitors genistein and indomethacin.
(12) Furthermore, it involved mixed clinical and histological changes of epidermal nevus from fingers to elbow.
(13) It has been shown elsewhere that the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in A431 cells can recycle in receptor-bound state (Teslenko et al., 1987; Sorkin et al., 1989, 1991).
(14) Pre-treatment of human fibroblasts to inhibit a cell-surface growth-related proteinase inhibits the mitogenic action of epidermal growth factor.
(15) The DTH responses were induced by subcutaneous injection of allogeneic epidermal cells (ECs) and were assayed by footpad swelling.
(16) The rat neu gene, which encodes a receptor-like protein homologous to the epidermal growth factor receptor, is frequently activated by a point mutation altering a valine residue to a glutamic acid residue in its predicted transmembrane domain.
(17) Data are provided for epithelial surface markers (including epidermal growth factor, EGF) and for the synthesis and release of prostaglandins and proteases which may be involved in invasive mechanisms.
(18) Two-dimensional phosphopeptide map analysis revealed that the major sites of tyrosine and serine phosphorylation in PLC-gamma 1 from activated Jurkat cells are the same as those in PLC-gamma 1 from cells treated with peptide growth factors such as epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor.
(19) We have used this procedure successfully during the purification of epidermal glycoproteins.
(20) Ninety-eight different malignant adnexal tumors were analyzed for the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-specific binding sites and binding parameters were calculated by Scatchard plot analysis [G. Scatchard, Ann.
Sagittocyst
Definition:
(n.) A defensive cell containing a minute rodlike structure which may be expelled. Such cells are found in certain Turbellaria.
