Netherworld


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (8) Sundar has a talent for creating products that are technically excellent yet easy to use – and he loves a big bet,” Page wrote when he promoted Pichai and moved Andy Rubin, the company’s former head of Android, into the robot-and-drone-filled netherworld that now comprises Alphabet’s non-Google divisions.

Surface


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (4) Using monoclonal antibodies directed against the plasma membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, we demonstrated previously that a glycoprotein with an Mr = 23,000 (gp23) had a non-polarized cell surface distribution and was observed on both the apical and basolateral membranes (Ojakian, G. K., Romain, R. E., and Herz, R. E. (1987) Am.
  • (5) In the surface epithelial cells, the basolateral cell surface showed moderate enzymatic activity.
  • (6) Such an increase in antibody binding occurred simultaneously with an increase in the fluidity of surface lipid regions, as monitored by fluorescence depolarization of 1-(trimethylammoniophenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene.
  • (7) The role of Ca2+ in cell agglutination may be either to activate the cell-surface dextran receptor or to form specific intercellular Ca2+ bridges.
