Although wide structural diversity seems to have evolved to accommodate the physiological necessity of detecting forces of significantly different magnitudes (Sukharev and Anishkin 2004), MS channels in different organisms may nonetheless serve similar functions.
Receptors that incorporate the α4- α5-or α6-subunit, or the β1-, γ3-, γ3-, δ-, ε- and θ-subunits, are less numerous, but they may nonetheless serve important functions.
Long-term exposure to food and environmental contaminants at dose levels devoid of systemic toxicity may nonetheless affect the function of target organs.
Although particular genes and variants will of course require systems of experimental analysis that are specific to the contexts and manner in which they function, it may nonetheless prove powerful to carry this general philosophy forward where possible; for example, genome-wide screens for genetic or physical interactions, building distributions of variant effect sizes, and so on.
Alone or together with pharmacology, behavioral approaches may nonetheless more effectively improve overall functioning than pharmacological treatments alone.
Thus, an agent may believe that an egalitarian social welfare function is appropriate (or perhaps even "better than" a hierarchical social welfare function) but she may nonetheless believe that her own well-being would be higher in a hierarchical society than in an egalitarian one.
However, systemic processes involving white blood cells, such as inflammation, may play a role in the pathophysiology of lung function decline, 48 and may nonetheless be markers of specific exposures (such as cigarette smoking) that exert a systemic effect.
Our findings also suggest that there may be gender differences in response to cues that are not necessarily linked with the conscious experience of craving that may nonetheless affect subsequent drug use (i.e., impairing executive function following cues exposures).
He may nonetheless be right.
