Briefly, the E-Model combines a set of characterization metrics of the transport system and provides as output a rating factor, R, that quantifies the users' satisfaction.
The results indicate that nicotine might, via altering the expression of cyclin D1, lift DNA damage-induced growth restriction, and function as a rate limiting factor of the G1 restriction in nicotine-mediated cell cycle progression.
In this process, EGFR appears as a rate limiting factor and ERK1/2 functions as an executor of the cell growth program.
In Arabidopsis CYP96A10 transcripts were found less abundant than CYP96A9 transcripts [ 30], accounting for CYP96A10 concentration as a rate limiting factor at least at the level of transcriptional regulation.
In a group of patients with cognitive deficits this approach turned out to be efficient and therefore seems promising for this group of patients as a low level of cognitive functioning may turn out as a rate limiting factor for therapy Mueser et al. [ 38].
Therefore, our genetic experiments suggest that NR2B at CA1 synapses is not designated as a rate-limiting factor for the induction of long-term synaptic depression, but rather plays a crucial role in initiating the synaptic potentiation.
The cell-adverse effect of chromosomal loss is considered principally as a rate-limiting factor for the occurrence of LOH.
