This again supports the idea that the copy number of these genes is functionally relevant, and that this function is maintained amongst the suid species studied here.
Normal skin architecture and melanocyte function is maintained by a dynamic interplay between the melanocytes themselves, the epithelial cells between which they are interspersed, and their microenvironment.
Leakage, edge damage and pressure differences in the culture system have to be avoided so that the epithelial barrier function is maintained.
Even with capacity building, it's difficult to make sure a project's good function is maintained over time in the face of new and/or unexpected factors.
Researchers will use advanced imaging techniques, cerebrospinal fluid tests and sensitive cognitive measures to monitor whether the accumulation of amyloid and other tell-tale proteins in the brain is reduced, whether brain size and function is maintained, and, most importantly, whether mental performance is preserved.
These results suggest that, in response to high altitude hypoxia, skeletal muscle function is maintained in humans, despite significant atrophy.
Thus, it is likely that some residual inducing function is maintained in the ureteric tips in Ptc1−/−UB mice during early stages of kidney development.
Long-term visual function is maintained in this model of retinal disease even though the xenografted cells are eventually lost, suggesting a secondary protective host cellular response.
The remaining Lil2-6 proteidentifiedfind in Arabidopsis, poplar and rice [6] were all conserved in P. patens suggesting that their physiological function is maintained among land plants.
