This assumption underlies concerns both that the availability of enhancements would exacerbate existing inequalities and that if universally available they would be collectively self-defeating (as, for example, if everyone were to add 6 inches to their height) (Glannon 2001).
The administration of anti-TIM-2 mAbs exacerbated CIA through enhancement of B cell activation and Ab production during the early phase, but not induction of Th1 or Th17 cells.
Persistent neuroimmune-gene induction alters stress-coping mechanisms and the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in the HPA-mediated enhancement of peripheral cytokines, which further exacerbates the neuroimmune response.
These suggested that lack of Kir6.2 subunits in the heart might not only abolish the compensatory enhancement of cardiac function but also exacerbate cardiac dysfunction in endotoxic shock.
Authors voice concern that future development of enhancement techniques, whether genetic or other, will exacerbate these tendencies and pose even greater threats to social equality, alongside the health benefits they may offer.
An effect that could be exacerbated by the cell proliferation and enhancement of viability also observed following administration of the drug.
These in fact have the potential to exacerbate disease severity through antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), during secondary infection with a different serotype [ 6, 7].
We need to understand the role of "antibody-dependent enhancement," where a prior infection with dengue, for example, might exacerbate Zika infection or its complications.
Conversely, the enhancement of astrocyte system xc− activity that occurs following IL-1β treatment exacerbates injury and facilitates neuronal cell death.
One of these cycles may involve an enhancement of pro-coagulation pathways, which are known to be markedly exacerbated in aging animals subjected to sepsis [ 68] and may be downstream from endothelial dysfunction.
