Importantly, each of the mechanisms made a partial contribution to the net outcome for either neural cell replication or differentiation.
Although creating a dichotomy between these potential mechanisms makes a useful framework for study it should be noted that they are not mutually exclusive.
Therefore, findings from the Pima sibling study suggest that, at least in a population at high risk for obesity and diabetes, intra-uterine mechanisms make an important contribution to the link between gestational diabetes and offspring greater adiposity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
However usually such kind of mechanism makes a robot heavy.
Prior work theoretically shows that the BTR mechanism makes a tradeoff between the energy saving and the queuing delay.
Estimates of the increase in toughness associated with the compressive residual stresses in the matrix suggest that this mechanism makes a significant contribution to the toughening effect of the Al2O3 platelets.
Alternatively, can a special facility for DNA repair or some other mechanism make a significant contribution to this extremophile phenotype?
To protect against infection, D. melanogaster employs a suite of cellular and humoral defense mechanisms, making it a good reference organism in which to dissect host responses (reviewed in [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]).
Dendritic cells link innate and adaptive immune mechanisms, making them a vital cell type in our defence against pathogens.
Finally, we show that PDX, derived from the therapy-resistant metastases, can display similar pleiotropy in resistance mechanisms, making PDX a valuable experimental platform for studying drug responses.
