Abruptly increasing levels of stress and associated psychosomatic changes [ 44] might trigger the shift to higher virulence in the microbiome, although other pathological processes, e.g., takotsubo cardiomyopathy ("broken heart syndrome") [ 45], might also play an important role in the mechanism of this process.
The American government, like many others, assumes that the oil price will rise to $95 a barrel by 2030 if OPEC does not increase its output dramatically.In theory, the fear that high prices might trigger the adoption of alternative fuels such as ethanol, or cause some other structural shift in the market, ought eventually to prompt OPEC to make the necessary investments.
To determine whether growth signaling by high glucose might trigger related events and accelerate chronological aging in budding yeast, we examined the effects of increasing the concentration of glucose in medium to 10% from the standard 2% (in these experiments, 2% glucose medium also contained 8% sorbitol, a non-metabolized sugar, in order to maintain equivalent osmolarity).
Activated macrophages kill off invaders by releasing microbe-slaying molecules called reactive oxygen species, and the team thought high salt concentrations might trigger the immune cells to produce these compounds.
Our results show a significant down-regulation of the NHP3 transcription factor (Additional file 9) suggesting that high UV-B might trigger a negative phototropic response of grapevine leaves as an escape response to protect leaf tissues against potentially damaging UV-B radiation.
Because divorce is viewed as a source of individual trauma that conceivably might trigger suicide, a society characterized by a high divorce is expected to have a higher suicide rate [35].
Thus a sustained high expression of ID3 might trigger abnormal immunity in SLE patients, facilitating the production of autoantibodies.
This might trigger the emergence of mechanisms to halt the high randomized sampling of the sequence spaces.
It has therefore been hypothesized that high expression or long exposure to Cre activity might trigger recombination leading to chromosomal rearrangements in mammalian cells in vivo.
Moreover, the high density and absence of water turbulence in this study might trigger the fusion of embryos.
