These investigations have hypothesised that the pretreatment of host immune response may augment the potential of cancer therapies to eliminate cancer cells.
Features of ultrasound that provide people with constant visual confirmation of pregnancy may augment the potential for feelings of anxiety, shock, and disappointment when the scan shows a problem or fails to obtain the necessary information [ 41, 47].
Furthermore, the comparison of the R allele frequencies for the 24 SNPs for the seven Xa genes in the 1,788 indica genotypes of the 3k genomes (Alexandrov et al. 2015) augments the potential of these SNPs to detect resistance gene alleles (Additional file 11: Table S5).
Every day millions of people across the world access Twitter, new Twitter connections are being made, and opinion and discussion is stimulated as a result, while the introduction of hashtags has only served to group discussions together and augment the potential reach of a niche discussion.
Coincident aggregated distributions of larvae and nymphs among their rodent hosts, whereby the same individual hosts carry the largest numbers of both stages, increase the number of larvae co-feeding with any infected nymph, and so augment the potential amplification of infection prevalence in ticks (13 ).
Warmer temperatures can accelerate the tick life cycle, augmenting the potential for transmission of vector-borne diseases (10, 11 ), and droughts can contribute to impaired host immunity, thereby increasing the likelihood for the transmission of zoonotic pathogens at the limited sources of water (12 ).
In search for approaches to augment the potential therapeutic efficacy of A. distichum for human colorectal cancer, we investigated the anticancer activity of A. distichum and the role of ATF3 in apoptosis by A. distichum in human colorectal cancer cells.
Tregitopes merit consideration even if they only reduce dependence on immunosuppressive drugs, however ongoing studies appear to indicate that Tregitopes elicit antigen-specific tolerance, augmenting the potential benefits of this approach in mitigating ADA.
The ability of US to provide a picture of the fetus enabled the women themselves to 'see' the baby and allowed the providers to diagnose any potential problems more accurately, reinforcing the reassurance and augmenting the potential protection of routine antenatal care.
Although L. monocytogenes downregulates the expression of flagellar genes during pathogenesis through a temperature-dependent mechanism, several lines of evidence indicate that functional flagella augment the pathogenic potential of both B. cereus-like organisms (Bouillaut et al. 2005; Ramarao and Lereclus 2006) and Listeria (Dons et al. 2004).
