The general idea is that a comparative risk assessment can establish equivalence between the GMO and its non-GM counterpart for characteristics other than the intended effects of the genetic modification.
In contrast to other experimental animal models in which tumor growth and progression do not parallel their human counterparts, many characteristics of 4T1 tumors in syngeneic mice resemble those of human mammary carcinomas, making the 4T1 model suitable for studies of metastatic cancer [ 1, 42, 48, 49].
BBC audience figures in the United States are rising, but BBC news correspondents are more aggressive and contrarian in their interviewing techniques than their American counterparts, a characteristic that can expose them to charges of taking sides among people who are accustomed to the media taking a less hectoring approach to public figures.
These results also suggested that both the brains and the visceral organs of Ppt1-KI mice, like those of their Ppt1 −/− counterparts, recapitulate characteristic pathological features of INCL.
Moreover our creep data indicate a trend of slower responses of tumor-conditioned matrices with respect to their control counterparts, with characteristic decay times of the order of 10 and 10 s for (τ1) and (τ2), comparable to the time of observation in our experiments.
If you feel a violent verbal confrontation is imminent, prepare a mental list of your counterpart's physical characteristics.
After the appropriate transformation, simultaneous display is facilitated by shifting all relevant values for each particular characteristic to a scale that has mC, the mean of the conventional counterpart for that characteristic, as its baseline zero value.
According to our results, hLsg1 is essential, like its yeast counterpart, and this characteristic seems to be common to the YRG family members.
Two of them were excluded because they did not have nondiabetic counterparts with comparable characteristics with regard to matching criteria, and each of the 506 remaining was matched to five nondiabetic participants.
Children from a family with an income below the poverty level, experiencing delays in receiving care for asthma, taking asthma medication, and residing in Los Angeles County reported poorly controlled asthma more often than their counterparts without these characteristics (Table 1).
