However, this recovery occurred following cessation of the causal treatment (in this instance, dibutyl phthalate) and so it could be argued that continued EDC exposure through foetal and postnatal life, which is more akin to 'real world' exposures, might interfere with compensatory Sertoli cell proliferation; this possibility remains to be tested.
The home front ReprintsIndeed, with such a proliferation of possibilities since the cold war ended, the Council of Europe has had to struggle to assert itself.
The danger of some such proliferation is the possibility of accidental war brought on by neither of us but triggering a conflict that could ultimately involve us both.
The reduction of TGFβ3 bioactivity had a negligible influence in a typical biological assay (e.g., chondrocyte proliferation), supporting the possibility of prolonged storage of medium pre-supplemented with TGFβ3 for bioreactor-based chondrocyte expansion.
Such a proliferation suggests the possibility that iconic images elicit facilitated cognitive processing, which endows them with enhanced communicative power.
Twenty-thousand nuclear weapons held by a handful of nations remain poised over humanity and present an ongoing threat to everything we hold dear, stimulating dangerous proliferation and the possibility of their acquisition by terrorists.
The negative effect of RECQ1 depletion on cellular proliferation raised the possibility that RECQ1 status might affect apoptotic potential.
During the development of chronic fibrosis there is concomitant deposition of collagen and sustained cell proliferation, raising the possibility that liver connective tissue cells (LCTC) from chronic liver fibrosis patients fail to respond to normal physiologic controls.
With no firmly established role for Foxc1 in regulating cell proliferation, one intriguing possibility comes from profiling data on microvessels isolated from pericyte conditional Foxc1 mutants where we observed altered expression of pericyte-expressed proteoglycans asporin and glypican-3.
Interestingly, this process is preceded by microglial proliferation, raising the possibility that microglia may facilitate some regenerative mechanisms in recovery from alcohol exposure (McClain et al. 2011; Nixon et al. 2008).
