Asbestos fibers are long and thin and can penetrate the lung, repeatedly scratching the mesothelium surface and causing prolonged cycles of damage, repair, and local inflammation.
We hypothesised that by providing a requisite inflammatory resolution mechanism in the airway, γδT cells indirectly confound the remodelling processes that are caused, in part, through repeated cycles of damage and repair.
"We are both familiar with domestic violence and the cycle of damage it causes," they said in a joint statement.
The illicit distilleries, in other words, were emblems of both criminality and victimhood — belonging to a cycle of damage that grew as it caused more people to commit more ecological harm.
This cycle of damage to eNOS by ONOO− is thought to be an important pathophysiological factor in vascular disease [24].
Heart failure is not a single entity, but a cycle of damage and neurohormonal activation that begins with an adverse cardiovascular environment, causing or leading to cardiac injury.
However, there also seems to be increased XO activity in the failing myocardium, perhaps due to hypoxia and apoptosis, resulting in accumulation of uric acid precursors (hypoxanthine and xanathine) and XO-induced production of ROS, causing a vicious cycle of damage [ 43].
He has disrupted the mating cycle of damaging oriental beetles with a strategically placed scent and has grown grass that he believes is more resistant to disease because it developed without chemicals.
The climatological risk index for accumulated, 'fatigue' damage is established, using a procedure to reduce irregular real-world climate histories into simple RH cycles of known damage impact.
The presence of additives, such as 10 mM EDTA or 2% triethyl citrate, increased the PEF lethality 1 log10 cycle and generated around 1.5 log10 cycles of cell damage, resulting in the reduction of undamaged cells of 4.4 and 3.1 log10 cycles, respectively.
Dystrophic muscles are characterized by cycles of myofiber damage, necrosis, inflammation and finally regeneration or fibrosis.
