In a population with small effective size, the variants with small selection coefficients, particularly slightly deleterious mutations, will act as strictly neutral alleles to drift to higher frequencies and even to reach fixation [45], [46].
Sodium channels located in DRG (particularly Nav1.7) act as molecular gatekeepers for pain detection.
The nodes of monocots particularly may act as strong sinks due to the presence of intercalary meristem [ 29].

These results suggest that green tea polyphenols, particularly EGCG, can act as antitumour, promoters, antiproliferators, be anti-inflammatory, and may be useful for cancer chemoprevention (Liang et al, 1999).
