Given the fact that mitochondria assume the dual role of regulating neuronal survival and controlling ROS levels, the degree of vulnerability of developing and mature neurons is most likely correlated to their functional mitochondrial mass and the extent of their antioxidant reserve.
The capability maturity model (CMM), which is the most popular model, was initially used to evaluate the degree of software developing processes (Herbsleb et al. 1997).
Subsequently after 16 days of birth, the rat pups were subjected to morphological examination of the eye for cataract development and graded according to the degree of opacity developed.
Since the population and demographic possibility of developing some degree of cognitive impairment over the age of 80 years approaches as much as ~35%, one can argue that such planning is suitable and recommended for everyone.
In nude mice, various degree of fibrosis developed around the endometrial graft.
The degree of newly developed thrombocytopenia was highly correlated with mortality, length of stay, initial APACHE II score and the consumption of blood products.
About 70% of the Nde1−/− MEFs became aneuploid by passage 10, but a similar degree of aneuploidy developed in the Nde1−/−Trp53−/− MEFs at passage 5.
The time required to reach a certain depth of parenchyma from skin is conditioned by liver stiffness and hardness, which are related to the degree of fibrosis developed.
Other investigators have, with varying degrees of success, developed alternative spatial and temporal air pollution models to characterize traffic-related exposures.
Furthermore we provide a method to distinguish between susceptible and resistant animals and score their degree of susceptibility to developing symptoms of allergic airway inflammation.
