After deletion of both copies of the duplicated AGT1, growth characteristics reverted to that of the unevolved SUC2 and iSUC2 strains.
When the stimulus was moving, however, the infants' scanning characteristics reverted to those typically found at younger ages, suggesting that "sticky fixation" behaviors may persist longer into development for dynamic than for static stimuli.
In the salamander, for example, tissues in the stump of a limb dedifferentiate that is, they lose their individual characteristics—and revert to an embryonic appearance.
Additionally, we demonstrate increased capacity for migration and invasion in resistant compared to sensitive cells, characteristics that are reverted following reduction of expression of snail and slug.
Recently, various strategies have been used to block the activity of RET in pre-clinical models, providing evidence that RET is a potential target for a selective cancer-therapy approach, especially when considering that the inhibition of RET activity is sufficient to revert neoplastic characteristics.
After the BSA-Au nanocomplexes were generated, the sites of two characteristic absorption peaks reverted to the original sites, which indicated that some groups were freed from the interaction between the AuCl4− ions and BSA molecules.
Essentially, SB203580 reverts the phenotypic characteristics of WS fibroblasts, implicating a role for both p38 and stress signalling in WS.
Enzymes start in an inactive state, are converted to an active state which performs the characteristic reaction, but must then revert to the inactive state in order to be able to repeat the cycle.
Metastatic cells can then revert and reacquire epithelial characteristics, similar to cells in the primary tumor.
We postulated that the IDM mutants could revert to their parental characteristics, resulting in WT levels of virulence.
