Lamination
Definition:
(n.) The process of laminating, or the state of being laminated.
Example Sentences:
(1) Although the reeler, an autosomal recessive mutant mouse with the abnormality of lamination in the central nervous system, died about 3 weeks of age when fed ordinary laboratory chow, this mouse could grow up normally and prolong its destined, short lifespan to 50 weeks and more when given assistance in taking paste food and water from the weaning period.

(3) The predicted protein shares significant homology with lamins A and C and other members of the intermediate filament family of proteins, and shares features important for the coiled-coil structure proposed for these proteins.
(4) Ependymal cells developed luminal fronds that projected into the ventricle and the subpial glia displayed a very subtle gliosis in the form of thin multi-laminated processes.
(5) We have perturbed the dynamics of the nuclear lamins by means of cell fusion between mitotic and interphase cells and have studied redistribution of lamins in fused cells as a function of extracellular pH levels.
