Sentence examples for be attributed to nonspecific from inspiring English sources

Nanoparticle toxicity can be attributed to nonspecific interaction with biological structures due to their physical properties (e.g., size and shape) and biopersistence, or to specific interaction with biomolecules through their surface properties (e.g., surface chemistry and reactivity) or release of toxic ions.

The improvements in cognitive function by metabolites of cerebellar neurons could not be attributed to nonspecific effects on cognition because neither C-CM nor CSF-4V had an effect on the performance of non-transgenic mice (data not shown).

Additionally, cumulative VEGF release amounts from Scramble microspheres increased significantly at 3.2% peptide concentration relative to Scramble microspheres at 0.4 1.6% concentrations, which may be attributed to nonspecific VEGF binding to the Scrambled peptides at 3.2% peptide concentration.

The additive/double suppression of p16 mRNA could not be attributed to nonspecific effects of shRNA silencing since vectors co-expressing both p16ex2 and control NS showed lower level of p16 knockdown as compared to vector doubly expressing p16ex2.

Other observed fragments can be attributed to nonspecific degradation, which was also seen by Galler et al. when 3 was incubated with MMP2, suggesting that switching to threonine in the hydrophilic face of the peptide does not affect the designed enzymatic degradation.

Although it was argued that high prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies could be attributed to nonspecific or false-positive serum reactions (8 ), the low prevalence we found among those <40 years of age and the significant association between the prevalence of HEV antibodies and older age suggest that it is unlikely to be a result of nonspecific serum reactions.

Suppression by multicopy plasmids raised a trivial possibility that the rescue is attributed to nonspecific microtubule-stabilizing activities of overproduced Dis1 independent of Ndc80 loop function.

This phenomenon has been previously described, and it has been attributed to nonspecific IHF binding interactions that are superimposed on the specific binding event.

Heparin resistance is a known phenomenon, especially in the early phase of heparin therapy, which is attributed to nonspecific binding of UFH to the endothelial cells and plasma proteins, active removal of UFH by the reticuloendothelial cells, and neutralization by platelet factor-4 [ 4, 5].

These effects could not be attributed to a nonspecific reduction of protein expression, as the protein expression levels of actin were not significantly affected by treatment.

As the decrease in relative viability can be attributed to decreased cell proliferation, nonspecific toxicity, and non-apoptotic cell death, we performed additional experiments to clear this point.
