Sentence examples for passage functional from inspiring English sources

We found that after the first passage, functional hepatocellular markers such as albumin and AFP dramatically decreased and ultimately disappeared with subsequent passage.

In order to assess for in vivo transplacental passage of functional cytokines, we devised a novel technique using IL4Ra−/− mice.

To assess transplacental passage of functional cytokines, we assayed phosphorylation of STAT-6, a marker of IL-4 and -13 signaling via heterodimeric receptor complexes which require an IL-4 receptor alpha subunit.

Because the mothers lacked IL4Ra, and are unable to phosporylate STAT-6 in response to either IL-4 or 13, then any phosphorylation of STAT-6 in the heterozygote embryos would be a result of transplacental passage of functional cytokines.

The data demonstrate a useful approach to assay for transplacental passage of functional maternal molecules, and indicate that molecules other than IL-4 and IL-13 may mediate transplacental effects in maternal transmission of asthma risk.

The approach used in this study to assess for transplacental passage of functional cytokine is a unique extension of r the one other study we found in the literature that used a similar approach.

The aim of this study was to characterize a novel assay to assess for the transplacental passage of functional cytokines, and to use this technique to assess for passage of the pro-asthmatic/pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 4 and 13 (IL-4 and IL-13) previously implicated in maternal transmission of asthma risk [10], [12].

Many studies have reported improvement of pharyngeal airway passage (PAP) dimensions following functional appliance therapy in children and oral appliance therapy in adults.

At these passages phenotypic characterization and functional evaluation of mesenchymal properties were performed as previously described [ 55].

These phenotypes are highly reminiscent of mutants affecting the formation of the septate junctions (SJ) [12], and prompted us to test whether the paracellular barrier preventing solute passage through epithelial layers is functional in cold embryos, a diagnostic character for mutants involved in SJ organisation [17].

The endogenous and hereditary process of accumulative changes in the passage of time resulting in functional deterioration and/or death.
