The experimental procedure has enabled the young people, who have Type 1 diabetes, to live free of insulin shots for as long as three years so far, according to the study, being published Wednesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
He said the clinical benefits were still limited: "This procedure has enabled an injured dog to step with its hind legs, but the much harder range of higher functions lost in spinal cord injury - hand function, bladder function, temperature regulation, for example - are yet more complicated and still a long way away".
While less amenable to spatial cue manipulations than the flight simulator, the heat box apparatus' fast and robust procedure has enabled high-throughput testing of the thermal reinforcement properties [33], [34] and neural pathways involved in this learning task [35] [37].
Moreover, the conciliation procedure has enabled further progress to be made.
This procedure has enabled us to localise the AND logic gate in a single vector, and facilitated the downstream troubleshooting and tuning of layered genetic circuits.
The development of high-contrast staining of cell walls in cleared plant tissue using a mPS-PI procedure has enabled improved confocal imaging throughout plant tissues generally [ 16] and leaf tissue in particular [ 17].
Although most of DIM-associated proteins (84%) were as expected also present in the original microsomal fraction, 53 accessions (16%) were uniquely identified in DIMs, indicating that the experimental procedure has enabled the identification of minor proteins that have escaped detection during mass analysis of whole membranes but are revealed upon fractionation.
Some of these now-abandoned approaches were based on equipment and procedures that would have enabled the reproducible production of new, kilogram-mass prototypes on demand (albeit with extraordinary effort) using measurement techniques and material properties that are ultimately based on, or traceable to, fundamental constants.
There is a history of the use of sedatives in captive marine mammals [5] where benzodiazepines or meperidine have enabled stressful procedures such as gastroscopy and bronchoscopy [6], [7].
