Sentence examples for rather general phenomenon from inspiring English sources

Such a dichotomy between NCAM and FGF appears to be a rather general phenomenon, as it occurs also in different epithelial and fibroblastic cell types (Francavilla et al, 2009).

This indicates that local expression of IR on neovessels is a rather general phenomenon in the process of tumour angiogenesis and that high volumes of exogenous insulin could have side effects.

Interestingly, we have observed this specific function of NCAM in cell motility but not in cell proliferation also in other cell types, including fibroblasts (Francavilla et al, 2007) and different epithelial cell lines (Francavilla et al, 2009), suggesting that it is a rather general phenomenon.

Our results show that the observed effect of inoculum size from the previous report at a single temperature is not restricted to a specific growth condition, but rather a general phenomenon.

The correlation is especially difficult to predict with PET tracers that reflect rather general physiological phenomena, e.g. there is no obvious connection between microtubule inhibition and expression of glucose transporters.

While it is initially tempting to conclude that our observations listed above are specific to phase transitions in liquid crystals, the observation of the peak splitting phenomenon by Zharov and co-workers on a completely different aqueous physical system suggests that the phenomenon is rather general, requiring only the nucleation of a higher temperature phase.
