| 11. | The name syncytin derives from its involvement in the formation of syncytium, the multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast protoplasm.
|
| 12. | Cardiac muscle fibers are interconnected by intercalated discs, giving that tissue the appearance of a syncytium.
|
| 13. | Through the diversion of nutrients to the syncytium, CCN can stunt corn plant growth and reduce yield.
|
| 14. | Finally, after the 13th division, cell membranes slowly invaginate, dividing the syncytium into individual somatic cells.
|
| 15. | However the syncytium acts as a giant cell so there are no gaps for immune cells to migrate through.
|
| 16. | It is uncertain whether the calcium ions stored in the syncytium are related to the lime skeletons of many cnidarians.
|
| 17. | In both the adults and the stages that live in snails, the external syncytium absorbs dissolved nutrients from the host.
|
| 18. | The interior space pervaded by a fiber syncytium in the Placozoa would then correspond to connective tissue in the other animals.
|
| 19. | As there are no cell boundaries in the syncytium, these morphogens can influence nuclei in a concentration-dependent manner.
|
| 20. | Unlike the gap and the pair-rule genes, the segment polarity genes function within cells rather than within the syncytium.
