Because comparatively few brain cells are devoted to processing odors, "there's good reason to think the olfactory system is affected very early on with these conditions," said Richard Doty, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Smell and Taste Center, who has done research comparing the Sniff Magnitude Test with other smell-assessment measures.
Given the huge number of potential epitopes expressed by CMV [3], it is likely that the tetramers were only detecting a small proportion of the overall CMV-specific T-cells and that a substantial proportion of all CD8 T-cells were devoted to the response to CMV.
These cells include effector cells, which are devoted to protection against pathogens, and regulatory T cells (Tregs), which protect against effector responses to autoantigens and also against responses to exogenous antigens when they may become dangerous for the host.
Initial experiments were devoted to determining the relevance of the incoming energy to cell fate in early embryos.
Subsequent experiments were devoted to evaluating the antitumour effect of VA in cultured thoracic cancer cells.
Precisely because synthetic cell projects are devoted to a hypothetical object (to something which is inexistent and fictitious as yet), imaginative metaphors are bound to play a decisive role.
By introducing sequence complexity through phasing, the entire Illumina flow cell can be devoted to the resolution of phyloTAG sequences.
Cells are organized into tissues, each of which typically contains a small number of cell types and is devoted to a specific physiological function.
However, most published studies on miRNAs regulating radiosensitivity have examined cancer cells, and little attention has been devoted to normal cells.
Since the proposal of intermediate band concept for high-efficiency solar cell, great efforts have been devoted to intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs).
Experiments including photophysical tests and cytotoxicity demonstrated these dyes were characterized with larger Stokes shifts, longer fluorescence lifetime, low toxicity and good cell penetrability, thus TriphenL1-TriphenL3 were succeed to be devoted as cell stains, suggesting a prospect for applications of in vitro and vivo cellular imaging.
