Size control may be regulated by a size checkpoint that couples cell size to cell division.
At the gear level, size-selectivity of longline is regulated by hook size, so that longline retains a wide range of fish sizes above a certain threshold size (Huse et al. 2000; Stergiou et al. 2002).
The effects of directional epistasis hiding and releasing additive genetic variation, and doing so increasingly more as network size increases, results in heritability being regulated by network size and, to a lesser degree, topology and recombination rate.
In contrast, available cell-spreading area, as regulated by pattern size, did not alter keratinocyte involucrin expression.
Cell spreading was found to be regulated by the size of fibres, similarly to previous observations made on circular nanopatterns.
The variable capacitances C and C p should be chosen and regulated by the size the supercapacitor [11].
Surface plasmon and electrooptical properties can be effectively and intentionally regulated by the size and shape of the nanostructure.
Metabolic rate, regulated by body size and temperature, is the fundamental constraint of ecological processes in the marine realm [44].
The functional consequences of this niche-size-dependent signaling control are confirmed by demonstrating that direct and indirect transcriptional targets of Stat3, including members of the Jak-Stat pathway and pluripotency-associated genes, are regulated by colony size.
The developmental decreases in somatic growth and in the expression of Igf2, Mest, Peg3 appear to be regulated by the size and not the age of the animal per se, as seen in studies where the anti-thyroid drug propylthiouracil is used to inhibit body growth [ 10].
