Indeed, he says, chips that contain both photonic devices, such as the filter, and electronics, could be key components in all optical and cellular communication systems, as well as inside computers.
As the new Administration (and world leaders) grapple with the dual challenges of energy security and climate change, technology, timing, and scalable delivery systems will be key components in any solution.
Among the microbial components particularly sensitive to erosion, symbiotic microorganisms (rhizobia, Frankia, mycorrhizal fungi) are known to be key components in the main terrestrial biogeochemical cycles (C, N and P).
Ca2+ sensitization/desensitization pathways are essential for maintenance of normal smooth muscle tone, and abnormalities in these pathways have been shown to be key components in the pathogenesis of diseases such as hypertension and asthma in humans.
Thus, these matricellular proteins may be key components in perivascular niches and contribute to the maintenance or inhibition of dormancy by regulating endothelial cell proliferation, angiogenic switch and DTC self-renewal.
Matricellular proteins have been demonstrated to be key components in several aspects of cancer progression especially in the context of the tumour microenvironment.
