Then he begins his long march to the refugee camp where he encounters stressed, distracted Carole (Bejo) who offers the starving boy some of her sandwich.
When cancer is viewed within this frame, selection still pertains but its exact role and scope can be understood as secondary to a greater imperative of self-referential cells encountering stresses and reacting to them according to their limits.
In plants, the cell walls form an interconnecting framework that glues all cells together and that has to bear all encountered stresses [ 3].
We therefore reasoned that cells of precancerous lesions likely encountered stresses, which either accelerated telomere erosion or activated mechanisms that trigger telomere dysfunction.
However, stochasticity also provides a mechanism to generate certain diversification of individual cells within a population and thus is advantageous under certain conditions, e.g. when the cell encounters stress conditions [40].
However, it encounters multiple stresses in its underground burrows including darkness, energetics, hypoxia, hypercapnia, food scarcity, and pathogenicity.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) becomes dormant and phenotypically drug resistant when it encounters multiple stresses within the host.
The Underwriters Laboratory (UL) examines the heat generated from the wire, how quickly the speaker wire might catch fire when exposed to a flame and how prone the wire is to damage if it encounters external stresses to set this rating.
But research indicates that when couples encounter such stresses or unexpected demands on their energy, their satisfaction with their relationship declines and their risk for breaking up increases.
During ethanol fermentation, yeast cells simultaneously encounter several stresses, e.g. osmotic, ethanol, and oxidative stresses (Gibson et al. 2007).
