However, integrated molecular modifications in lipid saturation, kinetic properties of metabolic enzymes, contractile proteins, and transmembrane transporters are also essential for maintaining higher functions (Pörtner, 2002).
Opsin level plasticity in females, and ommatidia size plasticity in males supported our visual plasticity hypothesis but males appear to maintain high visual function across both seasons.
As an approach to fabricating functional 3D hepatic tissues, we focused on hepatocyte spheroids, which have high cell density and maintain high liver-specific functions.
This may be particularly important for adults and adolescents, who are often required to maintain high levels of functioning over these periods.
The first is that of managing unrealistic expectations in order to support doctors to maintain high standards of functioning and to acknowledge vulnerability and fallibility to selves and others in appropriate ways.
In studies of older swimmers, Joel Stager, associate director of the department of kinesiology at Indiana University, has found preliminary evidence that swimming helps to maintain higher brain functions, an important benefit given the aging of the population.
Liver tissue engineering (LTE) requires a perfect extracellular matrix (ECM) for hepatocytes culture to maintain high level of liver-specific functions.
Liver tissue engineering requires a perfect extracellular matrix (ECM) for primary hepatocytes culture to maintain high level of liver-specific functions and desirable mechanical stability.
We identified IDP3, which is an enzyme that functions to maintain high levels of the key co-factor NADPH in the interior of peroxisomes (see ' IDP3 and the β-oxidation of lipids' section).
Thus far we have obtained evidence that elevated xc− transporter expression can enhance pancreatic cancer cell growth by promoting the uptake of extracellular cystine, which in turn functions to maintain high levels of intracellular GSH to promote cancer cell survival in the presence of oxidative stress.
