Exempel på microenvironment

• The mucilaginous sheath of blue-green algae has been considered as a potential microenvironment for bacteria.

• The microenvironment created by non-blocking embryos in aggregates may rescue blocking embryos via cell-embryo adherent contacts.

• Some genetic defects in the mouse can be rescued by making aggregation chimeras and thus altering the microenvironment of the defective cells.

• Furthermore, specific groupings of macromolecules would be maintained in one microenvironment, rather than diffusing away from one another.

• The microenvironment created by nonblocking embryos in aggregates may rescue blocking embryos via cell-embryo adherent contacts.

• The successful establishment of a metastasis would then depend on the local microenvironment for structural support (extracellular matrix) and growth factors.

• Metastatic breast cancer cells invade bone and secrete factors into the bone microenvironment that support osteoclastogenesis.

• Simultaneously, a range of stromal-tissue-derived tissue repair mediators bathe the inflammatory microenvironment.

• Why does inflammation persist: a dominant role for the stromal microenvironment?

• Metastatic cancer cells with an affinity to bone flourish within this microenvironment.

• The tumour microenvironment comprises many different cell types in addition to the cancerous cells.

• The microenvironment of the burial site induced differences in seed responses.

• In addition, there are noncellular components of the tumour microenvironment, including the extracellular matrix and basement membranes.

• Sensors of ionizing radiation effects on the immunological microenvironment of cancer.

• In addition, the tumour microenvironment creates physical barriers that significantly impair transport within the tumour.
