To meet this objective, we delineated the structural entities within catecholamine mimetic compounds that convey protection against hypothermic injury by systematic variation of their molecular structure.
These results suggest that astrocytes convey protection to neurons against acute high-glucose-induced oxidative stress.
In general terms, pregnancies convey protection, but in a complex way.
Under conditions of cell stress, the cargo was shown to convey protection and improve neural viability [ 115].
doi: 10.1038/sj.bjc.6600453 www.bjcancer.com © 2002 Cancer Research UK Pregnancies generally convey protection against breast cancer, and the degree of protection depends on the woman's age at childbearing (Trichopoulos et al, 1983).
It is plausible that, in certain circumstances, infections may be both a risk factor and also convey protection (e.g., by immune stimulation).
Greater understanding of host response to infection and resulting pathology will allow researchers to identify the genes that best convey protection.
Data from the vaccine trials indicate that vaccination does not convey protection once the subject has been exposed to the virus (Schiller et al, 2008).
In the biomedical field, Ngb and Cygb have created considerable interest because these proteins appear to convey protection to cells and organs, e.g. after ischemia/reperfusion injury of the brain [ 14- 16].
In line with this concept is the fact that Nogo-A redistributes, but does not physically bind to, the ER chaperone protein disulfide isomerase, a molecular rearrangement that has been shown to convey protection against neurodegeneration [ 42].
