nurse cell

Nutrients and developmental control molecules move from the nurse cells into the oocyte.

The eggs are surrounded by a mass of nurse cells which may provide nutrients to the developing larvae.

Each egg generally acquires a yolk by consuming "nurse cells".

The muscle cell that a larva takes over is referred to as the nurse cell.

This allows for the newborn T. spiralis larvae to enter and form the nurse cells.

The term nurse cell is used in several unrelated ways in different scientific fields:

Unlike others in the genus, C. cinnabarinum does not use nurse cells to supply food material to spores.

The epithelial cell found in the cortex of the Thymus is also called a "nurse cell."

In some invertebrates some oogonia become nurse cells.

The larval host cell becomes a nurse cell in which the larvae will be encapsulated.

The development of a capillary network around the nurse cell completes encystation of the larvae.

Nurse cell is a multinucleate syncytium.

During oogenesis, cytoplasmic bridges called "ring canals" connect the forming oocyte to nurse cells.

The nurse cells of insects provide oocytes macromolecules such as proteins and mRNA.

Nurse cell formation in skeletal muscle tissue is mediated by the hypoxic environment surrounding the new vessel formation.

In the bone marrow, immature red blood cells (erythroblasts) can be seen grouped in a cluster around a nurse cell.

Nurse cells are specialized macrophages residing in the bone marrow that assist in the development of red blood cells.

The drug disrupts the junctions between nurse cells (Sertoli cells) in the testes and forming spermatids.

The ovaries are primitive in that they are polytrophic (the nurse cells and oocytes alternate along the length of the ovariole).

In trichinosis, nurse cells are invariably skeletal muscle cells; these are the only type of cell that can support the parasite.

A Drosophila melanogaster oocyte develops in an egg chamber in close association with a set of cells called nurse cells.

In respect to invertebrates, nurse cells are polytenic germline cells that contribute to the development of the oocyte, producing multiple nuclei.

Bowles did so, then returned again shortly with a transparent sack filled with milk-to be exact,' a flexible plastic nursing cell, complete with nipple.

At stage 9 of Drosophila oogenesis, these cells perform a stereotypical invasive migration on the intervening nurse cells, and reach the oocyte.
