It describes the root causes of pervasive weakness in growth as "persistent financial market fragmentation, weak bank balance sheets, low demand, and creeping uncertainty as well as structural weaknesses, all reinforce each other and contribute to contraction of real activity".
Nonmuscle myosin IIA is a major component of the actomyosin cytoskeleton and is generally considered to contribute to contraction of the cell posterior during migration (Ridley et al, 2003).
Our results show that the brain-type Nav1.2 channel is, surprisingly, expressed in the muscular layer of the aorta, and is likely to contribute to contraction.
3– 5, 16 Recent experimental evidence suggests that chronic hyperphosphorylation of RyR2 contributes to impaired contraction, generation of lethal ventricular arrhythmias, and development of heart failure via leaky RyR2 channels.
It is suggested that in addition to increased hypothalamic AVT transcript and peripheral release, local synthesis of AVT in the shell gland (paracrine release) may contribute to the contraction of shell gland smooth muscles during egg laying.
While the Harper government has staked its economic vision on the full development of the Alberta tar sands, a crash in oil prices created a budgetary crisis in early 2015 and contributed to a contraction of the Canadian economy, which many economists say is in a recession.
Myofibroblasts contribute to the contraction of the fibrous tissue with scarring leading to a shrunken transplant kidney at the terminal stage.
Of these, eosinophils are the most characteristic cell type that has been shown to be correlated with the severity of asthma [ 8], as several mediators resulting from eosinophil activation may contribute to the contraction of the airway smooth muscles [ 9, 10].
During this period of maximum glaciation, the drop in sea level created land connections and hence opened more suitable habitats for mangrove expansion among the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and Java, as well as between Australia and Papua New Guinea, whereas arid climates might have contributed to range contraction of mangroves in Africa and the New World [ 35].
Cellular contraction contributes to the formation of scar tissue, which is characterized by an over-produced, disorganized collagen matrix.
