The intrinsic pathway can also be activated by thrombin itself, and this system may function as an amplification pathway in sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation [ 47].
Interestingly, those prometastatic cytokines (in particular, VEGF-A and IL-6) stimulate osteoblasts to produce more VEGF-A and IL-6, suggesting that osteoblastic cells may function as an amplification mechanism of cytokines in the bone microenvironment.
In the urchin-like ZnO microstructures, the body of the microstructures, functioning as an optical gain medium, can provide light amplification.
These experiments demonstrate concordance of frequent ST18 amplification and upregulation in human and mouse models of HCC, results consistent with ST18 functioning as a candidate liver oncogene.
Therefore, a more plausible explanation is that impaired macrophage function acts as an amplification of the underlying abnormal innate immunity or inflammatory profile rather than being a primary event.
The urogenital tissues (prostate, seminal vesicles, coagulating glands) of the double-knockout mice were found to accumulate high levels of testosterone, indicating that conversion of testosterone to DHT largely functions as signal amplification mechanism and is redundant in the presence of sufficient testosterone levels (24).
Thus he functions as a satirist.
The network functions as a time bank.
The probes structure, starting from the surface, contains a uracil cleavage region, a T7 amplification handle, a partial sequencing handle, a cluster specific sequence (spatial barcode), a semi-randomized unique molecular identifier (UMI) and an oligo-dT mRNA capture sequence which functions as a primer for cDNA synthesis.
"We function as a nonprofit.
It likely functions as a contact call.
