In murine lupus models, autoreactive B cells are phenotypically heterogeneous; genetic background, hormonal milieu and antigen exposure all contribute to this diversity [11], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22].
But while Pincus's book provides a good deal of helpful historical background of the milieu in which Kuki was working in Japan, her claims that he was a fascist are groundless (see Parkes 1997, 2007).
An unequal outcome has to result from equality of chances at a position, i.e., qualifications alone counting, not social background or influences of milieu.
We identified four host-encoded loci that were transcriptionally active in a ΔSterne/Wip4 background in the worm milieu.
It is both strange and familiar, not so much because their milieu and cultural background may be new to some viewers, but because human beings are mysterious and surprising.
In addition, because many biomolecules emit light in the UV and visible range, the background signal from the cellular milieu is higher at higher energy.
This could indicate a clonal relationship, but another possibility is that their development in a common milieu and genetic background could lead to pathogenetically similar tumors that are in fact independent cancers.
Because of his background and early life, he could operate and dominate in many different milieus, but was totally at home in none of them.
This is because there is a poor correlation between signal intensity and target concentration at the low end [16], and because the signal obtained from these targets can't be differentiated from background noise in the low concentration milieu [22].
I never left this milieu to look for my background -- I left because I'm curious.
