Blocking matrix degradation in collagen SMC gels with doxycycline, a non-specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) inhibitor, impeded the decrease in scattering anisotropy and resulted in few macroscopic signs of remodeling.
This can be attributed to that the graphene nanosheet existing in a sphere shape effectively avoids the restacking or folding caused by the giant surface tension in 2D graphene nanosheets, impeding the decrease of the triple-phase boundary on Pt NPs.
Similarly, Han et al. [105] coated Fe3O4 sub-nanoparticles with the pomegranate-like carbon shell, which resulted in an excellent specific capacity of 1246 mAh g−1 at 0.8 A g−1 and extremely impeded the decrease of volume energy density.
However, graphene-based electrodes often suffer from stacking and self-aggregation of graphene sheets due to the strong π-π interaction among graphene layers, which will impede the diffusion of electrolyte, decrease the accessible surface area, and consequently reduce the effective capacitance of the electrodes [17, 18].
This idea is supported by the findings that estrogen increases the number and activity of endosteal osteoblasts [ 22], which are critical mediators of stem cell dormancy and survival [ 23]; estrogen may thereby impede the ability of ZA to decrease disseminated tumor cells.
As shown in Fig. 4f, such intercalation should increase the interplanar spacings between eGNRs, which would impede the charge transfer between nanoribbons and decrease the overall electrical conductivity of the eGNR film.
Therefore, the compactant deformation of deep edifice host rocks will serve to decrease permeability and impede the lateral outgassing of exsolving magma through the deep conduit wallrock.
Furthermore, insufficient comprehensive studies on CIP resistance mechanisms within highly resistant isolates would impede the attempts to increase the potency and decrease the resistance emergence by modifying the existing current drug or designing new one.
The decrease in viral load during treatment could impede the detection of minor variant.
As neutrophils are the predominant circulating leucocyte in septic shock, their decreased GR binding capacity may impede the response to exogenous or endogenous glucocorticoids.
First, by decreasing membrane fluidity, IFITMs may impede the sequential assembly of viral-host receptor complexes, thereby blocking viral entry.
