It may also be possible to modify the nanoparticles, e.g. with polyethyleneimine to create cationic gold particles, which have been shown to deliver increased amounts of DNA, although the efficiency and damage-propensity of these particles has not been examined [ 23- 25].
Because of their repetitive nature, sensitivity to oxidative damage, and propensity to form secondary structures (called G quadruplexes), telomeres also pose a challenge to the replication machinery.
Alternatively, instead of measuring the levels of individual proteins, a functional test that is capable of gauging the degree of endothelial damage, the propensity of immune complex deposition and inflammatory cell reactions all together, could be used for assisting diagnosis.
The physical dimension includes the propensity for damage to infrastructure or other fixed assets.
Also, tablet regions having lower density locally have higher propensity for damage.
The physical dimension of susceptibility is expressed as the propensity for damage to infrastructure or other fixed assets.
The ability of the structure to continue to carry load after damage and the subsequent propensity of the damage to propagate are important considerations for the design of damage tolerant composite structures.
A two-dimensional (2D) finite element analysis has been used in this study to model the insertion of the Nucleus electrode array with different stiffness properties in order to evaluate the propensity of damage by visualizing the predicted trajectories and by comparing the buckling stresses and the contact pressures at the tip (and its distribution along the length) of the electrode array.
Alterations of bone material level properties caused by a low protein diet could increase propensity to damage accumulation during cyclic mechanical loading.
Genomic stress that leads to DNA damage and an increased propensity to acquire growth-promoting mutations are cell intrinsic consequences of insufficient autophagy (109, 110).
In principle, the dinucleotide mutations observed in breast cancer could also be due to exposures with a propensity to damage adjacent DNA bases.
