Examples of microenvironment

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.
