(16) The process is followed immediately by new-bone formation by autoinduction in which both the inductor cells and the induced cells are derived from ingrowing cells of the host bed.
(17) Likewise the ingrowing nerve fibers are even more vulnerable to aminoglycoside antibiotics than the hair cells.
(18) Hyperbaric oxygen stimulates angiogenesis, with increased neovascularization and optimization of cellular levels of oxygen for osteoblast and fibroblast proliferation, collagen formation, and support of ingrowing blood vessels.
(19) There are many common causes of pain in the foot, such as ingrowing toenails and skin problems, that are obvious, but other causes such as vascular insufficiency and nerve entrapment present diagnostic difficulties.
(20) A titanium implant in which a conduit is gradually filled with ingrowing bone (the Bone Harvest Chamber) has been modified to allow continuous local treatment of the conduit tissue with biochemical agents.
Inwards
Definition:
(a.) Toward the inside; toward the center or interior; as, to bend a thing inward.
(a.) Into, or toward, the mind or thoughts; inwardly; as, to turn the attention inward.
(adv.) See Inward.
Example Sentences:
(1) The maximum amplitude of the inward Na+ current, normalized by cell capacitance, is about sixfold larger, on the average, in LP lactotropes than in SP lactotropes.
(2) In contrast with oligodendrocytes, [Cl-]i in astrocytes is significantly increased (from 20 to 40 mM) above the equilibrium distribution owing to the activity of an inward directed Cl- pump; this suggests a different mechanism of K+ uptake in these cells.
(3) The differentiated neuroblastoma cell possesses characteristics of an electrically excitable cell and can generate propagated potential spikes in which Ca2+ is the inward charge carrier.
(4) This response seemed to be triggered mainly by the influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channel activated by membrane depolarization, which was caused by the ATP-induced inward current.
(5) I have equated nationalism with racism, xenophobia, inward-looking-ness and militarism.
(6) From this, and previous studies indicating a dependency of contraction frequency on the inward verapamil-sensitive Na influx, it is suggested that the drugs modify the automaticity of this preparation by a primary influence on membrane Na exchange.
(7) We used two experimental techniques to study the effect of lidocaine hydrochloride on the early inward transient (sodium) current as it is reflected by the maximum rate of change of action potential phase 0 (Vmax).
(8) Ca2+ inward currents evoked by membrane depolarization have been studied by the intracellular dialysis technique in the somatic membrane of isolated dorsal root ganglion neurones of new-born rats.
