What might explain their ability to avoid the swings of their rivals?
These foreign genes have endowed bdelloids with talents that no other animal can boast, which could help explain their ability to shrug off extreme conditions of aridity.
The B cell and T cell epitopes have been identified in rat MOG-immunized marmosets, and these sequences are observed to map primarily onto accessible regions in the model, which may explain their ability to generate potent antibody responses.
In the previous study by Dinh et al., ED patients that had valvular disease, were unable to lie supine, or were unable to lie in the left lateral decubitus position were excluded, which potentially explains their ability to obtain adequate VTI measurements in 90% of patients [15].
The Bcc have large, metabolically diverse, and plastic genomes which may explain their ability to live in such diverse environments.
To date, the general characteristics of allergens such as structural, functional or biochemical properties that explain their ability to elicit allergic responses remain unclear [36].
The latter observations indicate that they might resist drought or intestinal conditions for a certain period, which could explain their ability for rapid global dispersal [100], [103].
A rod-like structure of the multimers was proposed in [30] among other hypotheses to explain their ability to penetrate the cell nucleus despite of their size and the 50 kDa threshold of the nuclear pores.
They possess unique cofactors that do not require iron and this feature may explain their ability to grow in iron-restricted environments such as milk and the natural gut flora of breast-fed infants [87].
This may partly explain their ability to reduce iron overload in haemochromatosis [57].
