Our observations of faster recoveries of fluorescence in PVM after local photobleaching are consistent with higher fluidity and more rapid lateral probe movement in membranes with lower cholesterol levels.
Further, estimates of genomic fluidity are consistent with expectations that φ should increase as we move up the phylogenetic tree from species to genus to family, etc.
These differences were statistically significant among multiple pRBC (PVM: 0.81 s vs RBC: 1.52 s, P = 0.029, n = 8) and are consistent with higher membrane fluidity and lower cholesterol content for the PVM than for the pEM.
When applied to genomes from multiply resequenced bacterial species we find the mean value of fluidity is consistent when evaluated on a small subsample or on the entire sample.
He found that despite the seemingly chaotic nature of the drip paintings, they exhibited remarkably consistent fractal patterns, both in the fluidity of the paint and in the way Pollock applied it as he stalked around a canvas on the ground.
This result is consistent with our findings that membrane fluidity in synaptosomal membranes is increased in aged brains.
These results are consistent with the rapid convergence of fluidity when estimated from synthetically generated genomes (see Figure 2).
The results of the present analysis of conserved gene pairs are consistent with the notion of the fluidity of prokaryotic gene order caused by extensive recombination.
This is consistent with the observations that membrane fluidity is modulated in response to a variety of stress conditions (Aguilar and de Mendoza, 2006; Vigh et al., 2007), including HU treatment (Fujikawa-Yamamoto and Odashima, 1989).
The CAF-triggered increase in SCD1 expression is consistent with the CAF-mediated enhancement of cancer cell membrane fluidity and migration that we have previously demonstrated (Angelucci et al, 2012).
