These cochlear supporting cells include a somatic part, with its " cupula ", and a " phalangeal process ", which links the Deiters soma to the reticular lamina.
22.
It is the outermost layer of neural tissue, and among its responsibilities is the prevention of the over migration of neurons and neuroglia, the supporting cells of the nervous system, into the meninges.

Sustentacular cells are supporting cells of the seminiferous tubules of the testis, responsible for the differentiation of spermatids, the maintenance of the blood-testis barrier, and the secretion of inhibin, androgen-binding protein, and Mullerian-inhibiting factor.
24.
The genes also play a role in the development and stability of the retina by influencing the structure and function of both the rod photoreceptor cells and supporting cells called the retinal pigmented epithelium.
25.
Since cnidae are " single use " cells, and this costs a lot of energy, in order to regulate discharge, cnidocytes are connected as " batteries ", containing several types of cnidocytes connected to supporting cells and neurons.
26.
The supporting cells contain chemosensors, which, together with the mechanoreceptor on the cnidocyte ( cnidocil ), allow only the right combination of stimuli to cause discharge, such as prey swimming, and chemicals found in prey cuticle or cuteous tissue.
27.
And study of the stem cells'ability to generate the brain's many different cell types could help tease out the blueprint for the brain's extraordinary architecture, a precisely wired mechanism of 100 billion neurons and at least 1 trillion supporting cells.
28.
TRPV1 and TRPV3 are expressed on neurons and supporting cells, principally of the peripheral nervous system, that are involved in the sensory perception of pain; the NMDA receptor is a glutamate receptor and ion channel protein involved in controlling synaptic plasticity and memory.
29.
Cells 1 and 2 were given the mission of capturing the communications center, with the latter given the secondary role of supporting Cell 3, which was given the main mission of seizing the TACAN site and eliminating all U . S . personnel.

With such research, it has been found that the dual-functioning astrocyte is the dominant cell in the rodent SVZ; this astrocyte acts as not only a neuronal stem cell, but also as a supporting cell that promotes neurogenesis through interaction with other cells.
