Over the course of the book, among the oblique references and fragmented damage-talk, a sense or feeling, more so than any sort of argument or narrative, erupts, tendering the feeling that what has been captured here is something more like a map of death than any story.
The number of dying cells was measured quantitatively by assessing the percentage of cells with fragmented, damaged or condensed nuclei.
But working with ancient DNA is challenging; DNA decomposes with time, and so ancient DNA is often fragmented, damaged and present in tiny quantities.
As a result, increased cell death, as monitored by the appearance of fragmented, damaged or condensed nuclei and apoptotic phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, was observed upon cIAP2 silencing in LPS-activated microglia.
The human figure, once physically absent from his work, appeared, but fragmented and damaged.
At sites where nutritional cannibalism has been documented, the cranial bones are invariably highly fragmented with impact damage often located on the top of the cranial vault [35], [37].
This could, however be a challenging task, as species classification based on morphological characteristics lacks specificity and is of little use with fragmented or severely damaged material, such as a mixture of small skeletal pieces from several individuals [2].
The SKBR-3 cells looked severely damaged (fragmented, decreasing in number and forming giant cells) some days after the exposure and were too few to be counted with the electronic cell counter.
(D) Immunofluorescence of γH2AX indicated DNA damage with fragmented DNA (white arrows) and paired XY chromosomes at pachytene (indicated as XY body) in the seminiferous tubule.
Brecciation and cataclasis localized only along the main slip surfaces of the oblique normal faults, forming a zone of intense deformation, the fault core, surrounded by less-deformed fractured, faulted and fragmented carbonates of the damage zone.
Most of the superb sculptures unearthed had been damaged and fragmented, but a few were in surprisingly fine condition.
