These sentiments are present in his early films, but in latent form.
A small number of virus particles remain in latent form within B lymphocytes (lymphocytes that are derived in the bone marrow).
MMP-2 is secreted in latent form (72 kDa) then cleaved into the active form (69 kDa) by membrane-bound type MMP (MT1-MMP).
Osteocytes, once thought of as resting cells, are now recognized to be metabolically active and to possess, at least in latent form, the ability to resorb and re-form bone on their lacunar walls.
Since TGF-β is present in synovial fluid in latent form, and since normal diarthrodial joint function produces fluid shear, this study tested the hypothesis that the native latent TGF-β1 of synovial fluid can be activated by shearing.
As major enzymes involved in catechin oxidation such as polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) are present in latent forms that require activation or in different subcellular compartments, catechin degradations only occur after senescence or stresses that disorganized the cell and initiated decompartmentalization (Pourcel et al. 2007).
