In addition, an association study revealed that the A-allele (C165A mutation) of GS3 gene was significantly linked to enhanced rice grain length (Takano-Kai et al. 2009).
The extent of diagenetic magnetite dissolution and authigenic formation of fine-grained greigite in these sapropels and their underlying dissolution intervals are linked to enhanced sulphidic conditions during sapropel formation.
Several IL-15 SNPs which were associated with minimal residual disease (MRD) have been linked to enhanced IL-15 transcription/translation efficiency in vitro [37].
In this model, we interpret cytokinesis failure and tetraploidy to be linked to enhanced cellular proliferation, not as a direct consequence of proliferation, but because both processes are induced by c-Myc activation and GpIbα overexpression.
For example, Ames Dwarf mice, which lack the pituitary hormones growth hormone, prolactin, and thyroid stimulating hormone and show extended lifespan compared to their wild-type counterparts, were found to exhibit upregulated transsulfuration and low homocysteine levels, which might be linked to enhanced cellular oxidative stress defense mechanisms [4], [5].
'Rate increase linked to enhanced performance' has two desirable features.
We have shown that primary tumor formation is linked to enhanced cell survival mechanisms exhibited by these cells [ 33].
PI3K and Akt have been linked to enhanced cell survival through the phosphorylation and subsequent inhibition of the proapoptotic molecule Bad (Neshat et al, 2000).
Interestingly, in the samples which were treated with siRNA and tamoxifen combined, the numbers of cells with a more spherical appearance appeared to increase, an event previously linked to enhanced cellular migration [ 20].
In the context of an accountability agreement the following incentive models combined are regarded as the most appropriate for rewarding high performers: (1) rate increase linked to enhanced performance; (2) public reporting and (3) savings from efficiency.
However, the use of illicit drugs, such as cannabis and stimulants, used recreationally, well away from competition time, are less clearly linked to enhanced sporting performance and may even be detrimental.
