Since most longevity-associated genes, such as APOE, will cause a distribution around a mean for the corresponding mortality, evolution will rarely, if ever, manage to push deleterious gene action entirely beyond the reach of selection, although as envisaged by Medawar there will be a continual selection pressure to postpone such action to later and later ages.
Although the envisaged applications of microbial cell array are numerous, they have primary been applied in the environmental field.
Although not envisaged or proposed in internal medicine textbooks, the correction of the thyroid dysfunction will certainly be followed by an improvement of renal function.
This scenario is entirely clinic-based, although it is envisaged that, as a complement, community health workers could support the intervention.
Although not as massive as envisaged, structural genomics projects are speeding up the rate of protein structure determinations [ 2].
Measurements on the autoclaved material provided the most promising results in terms of envisaged shelf life, although freeze drying was also found to be a suitable processing technique for most of the investigated PAHs.
Although it may not be the garden city envisaged by Letchworth founder Ebenezer Howard, Tianfu is preferable to the urban sprawl found in other fast-growing economies, and promises improved air quality, less traffic and better health for residents.
Although conjugates were less active against mycobacterium than norfloxacin, it was envisaged that under in-vivo conditions, conjugates would hydrolyze to native norfloxacin, resulting in the desired therapeutic effect.
Attempts have also been made to predict ultimate strengths, although this is not the prime purpose of a design code, and it is envisaged that there will be some discrepancies owing to the fact that such issues as material nonlinearity and differences in tensile and compressive properties are ignored.
In summary, the data of the present study show no regulatory role of human caspase-12 on the inflammation induced by TLR ligands or Yersinia spp. Although a role of caspase-12 for the susceptibility to sepsis can still be envisaged (which has to be confirmed in larger studies), this is highly unlikely to be mediated through modulation of cytokine response.
