Instead of a discrete tree-like hierarchy, where the potency of stem/progenitor cells reduces stepwise, we propose a Continuum of LOw-primed UnDifferentiated Planarian Stem/Progenitor Cells (CLOUD-PSPCs).
Using immunohistochemistry, we found a similar, robust increase in npNFH labelling in degenerating axons; however, Western blotting of ON samples revealed no increase in the npNFH 200-kDa band, rather the appearance of a continuum of low-molecular weight bands.
Respondents were classified into three socioeconomic status (SES) groups using the Index of Relative Disadvantage (IRSD), 4 which ranks postal areas on a continuum of high-to-low disadvantage, taking into consideration characteristics including income, education, occupation and housing.
CC progression shows a continuum of neoplastic transitions from low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), to invasive cervical cancer.
This index ranks postcodes on a continuum of high disadvantage to low disadvantage, taking into consideration characteristics such as income, education, occupation and housing that may reduce socio-economic conditions of the area.
White spotting in the cat is observed as a continuum of white pigmentation from low-grade (face/paws/legs/white stomach) to medium-grade spotting covering 40% to 60% of the body to high-grade spotting (van pattern), with most of the body other than the head and tail being white (Vella et al. 1999).
Slavery, after all, is the extreme end of a continuum of labor abuses and extremely low wages.
The simulation represents the ways in which our society, along a continuum of very high to very low, encourages and enhances to discourages and reduces the individual's motivation to learn and succeed in life.
Among these strains, we observed a continuum of hermaphrodite mating frequency from low to high, with N2 among those favoring selfing and HW among those favoring outcrossing.
A continuum of inflammatory responses would be expected, with low repetition low force (LRLF) tasks showing the least, and high repetition high force (HRHF) tasks showing the most.
Interestingly, these studies revealed a continuum of relative risk that was lowest for women who did not yield any fluid, higher for women yielding acellular fluid, higher still for fluid-yielders with normal or benign cells, and highest for fluid-yielders diagnosed with atypia.
