| 41. | Stimulation of CXCR1 in neutrophils by its primary ligand, Interleukin 8, leads to neutrophil chemotaxis and activation.
|
| 42. | Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is among the chemotactic factors that stimulate Numb-mediated chemotaxis during cell migration.
|
| 43. | Studies of this receptor and its ligands suggested its role in regulation of monocyte chemotaxis and thymic cell apoptosis.
|
| 44. | Phytohaemagglutinin upregulates mRNA in circulating leukocytes; in these cells, TAAR1 activation mediates leukocyte chemotaxis toward TAAR1 agonists.
|
| 45. | As in sperm chemotaxis, only capacitated spermatozoa are thermotactically responsive ( Bahat et al ., 2003 ).
|
| 46. | Cancer metastasis is thought to be directly coupled to growth factor gradients that facilitate chemotaxis of cancer promoter factors.
|
| 47. | Micromotors and nanomotors can also move preferentially in the direction of externally applied chemical gradient, defined as chemotaxis.
|
| 48. | Since eggs release progesterone, sperm may use progesterone as a homing signal to swim toward eggs ( chemotaxis ).
|
| 49. | Upon release from the germinated resting spore, zoospores seek out a suitable substrate for growth using chemotaxis or phototaxis.
|
| 50. | Sperm cells also express odor receptors, which are thought to be involved in chemotaxis to find the egg cell.
