Sentence examples for cellular breakdown from inspiring English sources

A graffito in the bathroom that reads "Lenny Abramov's insulin levels are whack" is evidence of a certain undeniable atmosphere of one-upmanship, which, in turn, raises the cortisol levels associated with stress and encourages cellular breakdown.

Autophagy, a cellular survival mechanism, is thought to allow the recycling of cellular breakdown products when cancer cells are subjected to chemotherapy, thus decreasing drug-induced apoptosis.

The model was adopted to describe the cellular breakdown of the planar interface upon rapid solidification of Si Sn alloys, and a quantitative agreement was obtained between the model predictions and the experimental results.

In comparison with the model assuming linear liquidus and solidus, which fails to predict the retrograde characters of the Si Sn phase diagram both at low (k → ke) and at high (k → 1) interface velocities, the effect of nonlinear liquidus and solidus on the cellular breakdown of the planar interface is highlighted.

Internal population sizes of the lethal strain Pf-5 were higher than those of the other two strains, which could reflect an enhanced capacity to suppress host immune responses, the expanded availability of nutritional substrates as a consequence of host cellular breakdown, or other factors.

The pretreatment allows cellular breakdown, increasing the amenability of enzymes for sugar monomer recovery.

Further histopathologic studies have demonstrated that lateral epicondylitis and other tendinopathies are associated with apoptosis and autophagic tendon cell death, which contribute to cellular matrix breakdown [ 11, 15– 17].

This activation occurs via cellular protein breakdown leading to recycling of amino acids in lysosomes, which serves to sustain protein synthesis, even in the absence of amino acids coming from the diet, EN, or PN [ 4, 5].

Nonspecific protein binding of deoxycholic acid was found to limit cellular membrane breakdown in protein-rich tissues such as muscle and skin, thus favoring lysis of fat cells, which are protein poor [ 22].

Studies investigating the influence of GlcN on enzymatic extra-cellular matrix breakdown of cartilage, with a culture system using interleukin-1, lipopolysaccharide or retinoic acid to induce catabolic effects, reported less matrix metalloproteinase activity and aggrecanase activity by addition of GlcN [ 8- 13].

While the reductions in glucose concentrations and an increase in other macro- and micronutrient concentrations probably reflect cellular metabolism and breakdown, the decrement in arginine and glutamine concentrations may be attributed to their enzymatic conversion to ornithine and glutamate, respectively.
