Corticosteroids comprise the backbone of asthma therapy and act to reduce inflammation through both gene activation and suppression 43.
Ontologies now comprise the backbone of biomedical informatics, with dedicated institutions such as the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) [ 30] and resources such as the BioPortal [ 31].
Seven Cδ domains comprise the backbone of many bony fish delta chains, wherein a wide range of domain organization within fish lineages is observed.
Glucuronic acid is one of the main subunits that comprise the backbone of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
A three-tiered model comprising the backbone layer, distribution layer, and access layer is used.
Recently, we reported on a series of short amphipathic α-helical peptides, comprising the backbone sequence (LLKK 2, with the ability to kill susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Within the Middle module, the subunits comprising the backbone scaffold (Med7-21-4-9) are alocalizedelocalizedzed.
Next, 3-ketodihydrosphinganine is reduced to produce the sphingoid base dihydrosphingosine (sphinganine), which along with sphingosine, comprises the backbone of sphingolipids.
The number of ORFs, which comprised the backbone sequence of Shigella spp. strains used in this study, was 1955 (include 12 ORFs which were not present in MG1655), which was less than the number cited in previous reports [ 10, 12].
They comprise the same polyfluorene backbone structures with, respectively, diethanolaminohexyl (PFN-OH) and diethanolaminohexoxyphenyl (PPFN-OH) substituents attached to the C9 carbon of the fluorene repeat unit.
After crosslinking and degradation, the hydrogel network is degraded into the components that comprise the polymer network backbone; for example, in the case of PEG-PLA diacrylate hydrogels, the degradation products are PEG, polyacrylate, and lactic acid.
