In fact, the presence of specific intercellular connections (gap junctions) between these two cell populations, which allow direct and selective cell-to-cell exchange of chemical signals (ions, small metabolites), may represent an additional, rapid and unique way for astrocytes to communicate with each other and to interact with adjacent neurons [ 2].
This rapid and unique response suggests a profoundly novel and effective vascular-occlusion mechanism, outlining the Tookad-VTP-specific targets and mode of action.
The question therefore arises as to how well these global field models represent the geomagnetic field on a regional basis, particularly a region such as Southern Africa which is well known for its rapid and unique temporal variation of the Earth's field (Kotzé 2003; Mandea et al. 2007).
Saltation appears to be supported as all phylogenies demonstrate that this host plant shift was likely rapid and unique among Proserpinus, including P. terlooii's sister taxon, P. vega, with which P. terlooii is sympatric over large portions of its range (Fig. 1).
Severity of P. knowlesi infection is related to potentially high parasitemia levels produced by its rapid and unique 24-hour erythrocytic cycle and its ability to infect all stages of erythrocytes (13 ).
There was also a general view that Japan's economy — with its rapid growth and unique system of cooperation among large corporations and the government — was thoroughly unlike any other.
Owing to its rapid activation and unique regulation, the NF-κB pathway plays a pivotal role in the onset of sepsis.
Furthermore, the rapid onset and unique clearance properties of Gd-LNP could also be adapted for system biology profiling of in vivo drug target distribution for new molecules that are identified as part of global/international efforts in pharmacogenomic and drug/target discovery research.
This process results in a rapid random genetic drift and unique allele frequencies.
Its unique properties include a rapid onset and offset of action [ 13] and a recovery index with good arousal quality [ 14].
