These experiments indicate that the EGFR pathway acts downstream from or parallel to JAK/STAT signaling in the control of compensatory ISC proliferation.
(This response of seeds to chilling has a parallel in the temperature control of dormancy in buds).
Because many problems faced by the primate brain in the control of movement have parallels in robotic motor control, models and algorithms from robotics research provide useful inspiration, baseline performance, and sometimes direct analogs for neuroscience.
In this work, the control of parallel processes is illustrated with the heat-integrated distillation column example.
"The situation in the conflict-affected area is becoming increasingly entrenched, with the total breakdown of law and order and the emergence of parallel governance systems in the territories under the control" of separatists, Hussein reported.
Addition of serum from case 3 to cultures of myenteric neurons significantly and concentration-dependently reduced neuronal survival; at the highest concentration (1 100) 59.4 ± 4.2% of the neurons survived as compared to controls run in parallel in the absence of the serum.
In parallel, some control of HBV DNA and HBsAg levels in the serum of vaccinated mice was achieved, reaching statistical significance in two of the three reported short-term experiments, both in a HLA-A2/HLA-DR1 and in a C57BL/6J background.
In both cases secretion was normalized to the basal secretion measured under control conditions in parallel in the same set of experiments.
Interestingly, in all of these trials the treatment effect diminished with time, such that after an initial effect, C-peptide secretion subsequently declined parallel to the control group in all of these studies.
The strategy is to use a patterned microfluidic cover plate, which can be reversibly bonded to a cell culture substrate, to achieve both long-term cell culture in parallel chambers and control of culture parameters in each chamber.
