During winter, inflammatory cell response at the site of infection by G. destructans is mostly delayed until arousal from hibernation in spring and new evidence suggests that, if the fungal infection of skin has been extensive during hibernation, this inflammatory response has the potential to fatally overwhelm the host instead of contributing to healing and recovery [ 13].
It is possible that transplantation of a cell population after SCI could recruit host cells capable of contributing to locomotor recovery.
Co-founder Madeleine Shaw says this out-of-sight, out-of-mind mentality is just one of a host of things contributing to the dominance of disposables.
A conservative theologian, Pope Benedict repeatedly warned that contraception was one of a host of trends contributing to a "breakdown in sexual morality".

A host of factors contribute to attrition after diagnosis, including policies that render many recently diagnosed HIV-positive patients ineligible for treatment, the challenge of following patients who do not yet qualify for ART, problems with pre-ART referral systems [ 77, 90], and generally weak health systems.
Chemosynthetic symbionts are widely assumed to benefit their hosts by contributing a source of organic matter for their nutrition and so far this was also thought to be true for the Bathymodiolus symbioses (Van Dover, 2000; Cavanaugh et al., 2006; Dubilier et al., 2008).
Alongside inhibiting antiviral RNAi, plant VSRs including HcPro, P21, P19, P15 and P0 were shown to suppress miRNA- or endo-siRNA-mediated silencing, therefore corrupting development or homeostasis of their host and contributing to viral pathogenicity [18], [20] [23].
Even parasitic plants with their own photosynthesis are functionally parasites and not just different 'branches' of the host contributing to its carbon gain.
