Some of the peripheral compartments have two outlets, one leading back into the central compartment and the other one leaving the system by loss of cells or excretion.
I reached back into the small compartment behind the seats and fumbled with the life raft, a heavy, non-self inflating hunk of rubber designed for white water rivers, and wondered how we were going to blow this thing up after we hit.
As soon as one paw crossed over the tape back into the center compartment, the time recorded with the experimental animal was stopped.
These FcRn-complexes are then broken down into the drug and original complex in a recycling process that feeds back into the central compartment.
After addition of 50 μl fresh minimal assay media to the upper chamber, filter inserts were placed back into the lower compartment and the assay was further incubated until the next time point.
After 1 min, the sliding door was raised again (Trial 3), and the rat ran back into the second compartment to explore a copy of Object C (C2; familiar) and new Object D (D1; novel).
This contributes to a state in which Pb stored in bone is continually released back into the blood compartment, a process that has been described as "endogenous contamination" (Gulson et al. 1996).
Because the majority of Ngn3+ cells are destined for differentiation, these studies relied on the premise that the few Ngn3+ spermatogonia that had transited back into the GFRα1+ compartment behaved without distinction from the "innate" GFRα1+ cells (Nakagawa et al., 2010).
Timely fluid shifts back into the vascular compartment to achieve a negative fluid balance seem to have major prognostic relevance in critically-ill patients with acute kidney injury, since several studies have shown that fluid overload in these patients is associated with increased mortality [ 40, 41].
