The controversial question of why we have two ERKs and whether they have differential functions or display functional redundancy has not yet been resolved.
This may be a true difference due to the contrast in colony structure between the much smaller A. millepora and the longer branches of Caribbean Acroporas, which may affect the extent to which polyps display functional differences, or it may be a function of technique (high-throughput RNA sequencing vs. microarray containing ~8700 UniGene ids).
In contrast, viscoelastic hemostatic whole blood tests like thrombelastography (TEG®, Hemoscope-Hemonetics, Niles, IL, US) and rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM®, TEM Inc., Durham, NC, US) [ 11] display functional hemostasis in whole blood, including fibrinolysis and platelet function, and multiple studies have characterized sepsis coagulopathy by these tests [ 12- 22].
Functional studies suggest that, although NK-cells remain functional in MGUS patients, they may display functional changes in MM and lose cytotoxicity particularly in advanced MM. NK-cell function is often reflected in changes in the NK-cell receptor repertoire, which includes the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCRs) and NKG2D.
The carriers assemble the siRNA into supramolecular complexes that display functional properties during the delivery process.
Therefore, the present study attempted to determine if histaminergic neurons display functional responses to acute exposure to hypercapnic gas (i.e., gas with elevated CO2 concentrations).
EHT display functional and morphological properties of differentiated heart muscle and can be constructed in different shape and size from collagen type I, extracellular matrix proteins (Matrigel®), and heart cells from neonatal rats and embryonic chicken.
The Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-II (ABAS-II) is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of adaptive functioning and an assessment of the degree to which individuals, ages 0 89, independently display functional skills in everyday living.
This review highlights emerging applications of molecularly engineered lipid-bilayer-based nanostructures, namely (i) functionalized liposomes, (ii) supported colloidal bilayers or protocells and (iii) reconstituted lipoproteins, which display functional cellular receptors in optimized conformational and aggregative states.
Indisys, which is short for intelligent dialogue systems, claims its virtual assistants display "Functional, Social & Emotional Intelligence, context awareness & flexible human-like conversational ability" — although judging by the samples on its website (such as Maya, right), it's not quite yet managed to fix the 'uncanny valley' phenomenon.
We have previously demonstrated that an amphiphilic conjugate of avidin and palmitic acid can be used to modify poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particle surfaces to display functional avidin groups, allowing for the facile attachment of biotinylated ligands for targeting or steric stabilization.
