While the companies had previously announced that Erbitux increased survival of lung cancer patients, the question not answered until now was: by how much.
Turfgrass clippings and Eucalyptus sideroxylon mulches increased the growth of king and queen palms and increased survival of king palms.
Intranasal delivery of murine IFN-γ and inactivated influenza vaccine increased survival of mice challenged with lethal dose of influenza virus (Cao et al., 1992).
These manipulations restored expression of truncated but partially functional dystrophin, improved skeletal and cardiac muscle function, and increased survival of mdx mice significantly.
Clonogenic survival assays demonstrated increased survival of the PMS2-overexpressing cells following exposure to MNU, consistent with the induction of a damage tolerance phenotype.
Cold acclimation also increased survival of diapausing S. agrili (50% mortality at −27.3 versus −23.7 °C for non-diapausing S. agrili) during brief cold exposure.
It is also apparent that increased survival of the first year cohort could to some extent be beneficial for the population.
The low toxicity and the increased potency results in improved antitumor efficacy after systemic injection and increased survival of mice carrying tumors.
In both xenograft and syngeneic models of solid tumors, injection of RCNV resulted in significantly slower tumor progression and increased survival of mice.
C3H mice receiving nontransduced DC or pretransplant infusion of DC-Ad-LacZ showed increased survival of C57BL/6 renal grafts relative to that of control nonimmunized mice.
Despite increased survival of very preterm newborns, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a major threat, as it affects long-term pulmonary function and neurodevelopmental outcome.
