Changes in the resistance to respiratory infections provide a highly sensitive experimental animal model system, which is increasingly used in studies of health effects of air pollutants.
In long-term regeneration studies 12 months after optic nerve injury, the MRI protocol proved highly sensitive and discriminated animals with rare spontaneous axonal regrowth from non-regenerating specimens.
Modern scientific investigation reveals that horses are highly sensitive, emotionally complex, intelligent animals, capable of a wide spectrum of feelings and sophisticated communication.
This may make the animal highly sensitive to horizontal fields induced by the movement of water currents (passive mode) through the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field as shown for stingrays [26].
We find that transcriptional resources are initially limiting during recovery and that recovering animals are highly sensitive to any additional decrease in transcriptional resources.
Therefore, the longevity and dauer-constitutive phenotypes of daf-2 mutant animals are highly sensitive to daf-16f gene dosage.
Especially notable among the artifacts are the highly realistic and sensitive animal carvings.
The giant otter's highly sensitive whiskers (vibrissae) allow the animal to track changes in water pressure and currents, which aids in detecting prey.
Continued exploration of the combination of genetic and clinical data with highly sensitive biochemical, cell-biological and animal model systems may provide further insight into the effects of pharmacological and genetic modulation of GKRP (25– 25).
Although it is unlikely that these correlative network connections represent canonical feedback in metabolism among coral and zooxanthellae, they do indicate that the coral animal has highly sensitive and integrated transcriptional responses to the energetic potential of the zooxanthellae.
