In the past, chemotherapy was thought to compromise immune responses by way of lymphocyte lysis as a bystander effect of its mode of mechanism on actively dividing cancer cells.
Because of their sessile nature, plants have evolved very sophisticated mechanisms to actively cope with different sorts of stresses.
Later cheaters could have evolved mechanisms to actively trigger the autolysis of some host cells to further benefit from the excess nutrients released.
Micro- and nanoscaled systems can be classified by the number of constituting components (homogeneous, binary or ternary systems), by their regularity (statistical or regular systems), by the mechanism of formation (actively or passively ordered) and by their aspect ratio A (A = depth divided by width).
Virulent mycobacteria have evolved mechanisms to actively evade host cell apoptosis, which points out the relevance of apoptosis in anti-mycobacterial defense.
Analysis of the Oct4 gene list revealed an important emerging theme; mechanisms to actively repress apoptotic pathways are involved in maintaining the stem cell state.
Besides this obligatory or passive energy economy, further reductions in daily EE can also be expected as it has repeatedly been demonstrated that the fall in EE is greater than predicted by the loss of body mass, thereby underscoring the operation of mechanisms that actively promote energy conservation through adaptive suppression of thermogenesis.
The molecular mechanisms of tubulogenesis are being actively studied as the basis of diagnosis and treatment of ADPKD.
We fix the number of vehicle as 100, and RTT is adopted to measure the flexibility of actively caching mechanism.
Recently, the mechanisms of bone resorption have been actively examined, and the discovery of the receptor activator of NF- κB ligand (RANKL) has allowed elucidation of the mechanism of osteoclast differentiation in bone (Anderson et al, 1997; Wong et al, 1997; Lacey et al, 1998; Yasuda et al, 1998).
