  • (3) Injection of GTP gamma S inhibited ruffling and increased spreading, suggesting an increase in adhesion.
  • (4) This is a team who have found their feet after that winless group section, a side who have already seen off the much admired Croatia and who can ruffle the feathers of the hosts or the reigning world champions.
  • (5) Stimulation of membrane ruffling is one of the first events induced by addition of growth factors to quiescent cultures.
  • (6) Suddenly he would be picking up speed, scurrying past opponents and, in one instance, slipping the ball through Laurent Koscielny’s legs for a nutmeg that was so exquisitely executed he might have been tempted to ruffle his opponent’s hair.
  • (7) In the SEM three corresponding types were identified, a relatively smooth spherical type, a highly ruffled type and a fairly smooth flattened type.
  • (8) Other designs included short ruffle cocktail dresses with velvet parkas slung over the shoulder; blazers made of stringed pearly pink; and gold beading and a lace catsuit.
  • (9) The Glasman "project" will undoubtedly ruffle feathers inside and outside Labour.
  • (10) In the active phase of root resorption, the resorption organ contained many odontoclasts with a well-developed ruffled border and a reduced clear zone, cementoblasts, fibroblasts, macrophages, neutrophils, and many blood vessels.
  • (11) The cells were oval or round, most of them with a rough surface due to presence of microvilli, ruffles, ridges, and blebs of various numbers and shapes.
  • (12) The osteoclasts secrete a large amount of protons by the action of H(+)-pump on the ruffled border into the sealed resorption cavity, resulting in the acidified microenvironment under which condition the bone matrix is dissolved.

  • (16) The increases in actin cables were associated with a lack of ruffled edges that are indicative of motile cells.
  • (17) Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells showing specialized membrane structures, clear zones and ruffled borders, which are responsible for the process of bone resorption.
  • (18) ruffled membrane movement, phagocytosis of some particles, glucose oxidation through the hexose monophosphate shunt and an increase in the activity of a membrane enzyme, adenylate cyclase.
  • (19) The presence of membrane ruffles at the cell border and of numerous thick bundles of actin crossing the cell body, suggests that the factor promotes cell spreading; this probably interferes with cytokinesis, ultimately leading to the formation of very large flattened multinucleated cells.
