When engaging in the act of oral sex (or any other type of sex, for that matter), the last thing that either partner wants to worry about is the possible contraction of a sexually transmitted disease.
We report that ovarian tumor cells invade the mesenchymal/connective tissue-like ECM using primarily two distinct strategies; some cells appear to degrade the ECM using collective cell migration mechanisms whereas others form less tight cell-cell interactions and invade through the ECM by rearrangement (or possible contraction) of the ECM substrate.
The specific heuristic followed here is based on a greedy iterative selection (see e.g., [ 10]) which consists of identifying and using, at each iteration, a substring w of the text x such that encoding all instances of w in x yields the highest possible contraction of x.
Finally, traction force microscopy is not well suited to determine the highest possible contraction forces of cardiomyocytes.
Some delegates also drew attention to the additional problems of growing debt burden, high interest rates and a possible contraction in the flow of aid to developing countries.
The Brewers, who play in a new stadium, Miller Park, built at taxpayers' expense, are not on Selig's schedule for possible "contraction," as the end of franchise life is euphemistically known.
While the dominant function of these muscels is to move the legs, it is possible that contraction of these muscles causes indirect head movement by depression of the propectus (53, 57, 61) or endosternum (54, 56), or flexion of the pronotum (55), thus linking movements of the forelegs to movements of the head.
Owing to the method of sample preparation, high-resolution observations were possible because the contraction of the specimens was suppressed during transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM) observation.
The debate about differences between measurements in the mid-infrared, which suggest a possible expansion and contraction of the star, and the near-infrared, which advocates a relatively constant photospheric diameter, remains to be resolved.
Considering our predicted topology, such an earlier timing of this event could also be possible; the genome contraction of H. arabidopsidis might lead to the loss of both duplicates and hence at least partially obscure events happening at the LCA of Peronosporales.
To investigate possible expansion and contraction of shared gene families of the six insects that we used in the OrthoMCL analysis, we used CAFÉ (v3.1; default settings; Han et al. 2013) with phylogenetic relationships from Trautwein et al. (2012) and divergence times from TimeTree (Hedges et al. 2006).
