The phrase "active degeneration" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to health, biology, or any field discussing the process of decline or deterioration that is currently happening.
Example: "The patient is experiencing active degeneration of the spinal discs, which is causing significant pain and mobility issues."
Alternatives: "progressive deterioration" or "ongoing decline".
No degenerating or regenerating fibres were seen, but in Patient II-2, acid phosphatase staining was increased suggestive of active degeneration.
A quantitative analysis of donor-derived cells showed a significantly higher density of donor cells in the anterior horn, the site of active degeneration.
Additionally, modulation of the chondrocyte phenotype in meniscectomised cartilage by mechanical or humoral factors were likely to have been associated with the downregulation in PRG4 expression observed in the compartments not undergoing active degeneration.
After entering the CNS via cell adhesion molecules (such as VLA4) and chemokine receptors, systemically injected NSCs accumulate in perivascular CNS areas and in the areas of active degeneration.
The present results are in line with previous biochemical, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies that showed an impairment of mitochondrial function in active multiple sclerosis lesions, which appears to be related to active degeneration of myelin, oligodendrocytes, axons and neurons (Mahad et al., 2008 a ).
20-22 in the table) all displayed active dystrophic process; marked increase of fiber size variability, active degeneration and regeneration, marked increase of connective tissue, comparable with that found in muscles from the five compound heterozygous patients with LGMD2I and the five patients with BMD (Table 1; Figure 3A).
In such diseases, muscle loss can occur via active, necrotic degeneration, or muscle wasting via atrophic degeneration.
In fact, post-mortem analysis of the SNpc of PD patients has revealed increased numbers of activated microglial and astroglial cells, reflecting persistent inflammation and consequent active nerve degeneration.
Particularly relevant positive outcome measures for this subgroup are: decreased AH, low AR (adductor co-activation), altered Principal Action for adductor muscles, decreased reconstructed subacromial volume during active abduction, degeneration of rotator cuff muscles and altered scapulohumeral rhythm.
Active muscle degeneration and inflammation occur within the first few days after injury.
Isolated TMJ flattening and/or subcondral sclerosis was interpreted as physiologic remodeling, while condylar erosions and/or osteophyte formation was interpreted as active condylar degeneration (DJD).
