While biodiversity contributes to the maintenance of ecosystems' integrity (Hillebrand and Matthiessen 2009), the contribution of genetic diversity ranges from individual fitness, species' evolutionary potential, and ecosystem stability.
Dormancy contributes to the maintenance of microbial diversity.
Other researchers have shown that caspase-2 also contributes to the maintenance of normal synaptic functions.
The native HA polymer, which is large (>500 kDa), contributes to the maintenance of homeostasis.
Adenosine contributes to the maintenance of tissue integrity by modulating the immune system.
In non-transformed cells, AMPK likely contributes to the maintenance of a non-transformed phenotype by promoting a controlled stress response.
Control of the G1/S phase transition of the cell cycle contributes to the maintenance of homeostasis.
Vesicle fusion contributes to the maintenance of synapses in the nervous system by mediating synaptic transmission, release of neurotrophic factors, and trafficking of membrane receptors.
The carbon nanofibre on the other hand, not only reduces development of fracture but contributes to the maintenance of compactness in the fractured concrete.
We suggest that IL-6 produced by skeletal contracting muscle contributes to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis during prolonged exercise.
These results demonstrate that GATA2 regulates the Aqp2 gene expression in CD cells and contributes to the maintenance of the body water homeostasis.
