This might seem like a harmless substitution, but small alterations in our language can mean a great deal.
That resulted in the discovery, by several groups of investigators in Iceland and the United States, of the gene variants, small alterations in gene sequences.
Here, we propose that even small alterations in microtubule dynamics can influence cell migration via several different microtubule-dependent pathways.
We examined how small alterations in the particulate nature of MPs affect both their uptake into and subsequent activation of macrophages.
The method is sensitive enough to distinguish various types of sphingans which solely differ in small alterations in the monomer composition.
Even small alterations in the purity, potency and half-life or "durability" of a protein product can have significant impacts on their effectiveness.
Furthermore, grape cultivars may respond differently to yearly variations in climatic conditions (rainfall, average temperatures, etc)., while small alterations in wine-making practices may also contribute to metabolite profile variations of different vintages.
Here we report a method of manipulating the absorption rate of a poly N-isopropylacrylamide) ((poly N-isopropylacrylamideel across a wide range (from 1 d to 5 mo) by small alterations in the compoly NIPAAm
Morphological parameters of a 3D binary image of a porous carbon gas diffusion layer (GDL) for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) reconstructed using X-ray nano-tomography scanning have been obtained, and influence of small alterations in the threshold value on the simulated flow properties of the reconstructed GDL has been determined.
Although the sandy post-agrogenic soils in the southern Taiga sub-zone of European Russia indicated a carbon sink during self-restoration by increasing carbon sequestration within the developing organic surface layers, the mineral horizons showed only small alterations in total OC contents and no quantitative but qualitative modifications in respect of different functionally OC pools.
Similar to the comparison between DNA-free and DNA-bound dHax3 structures (Fig. 4C) (Deng et al., 2012a), the overall changes result from the accumulative effect of small alterations in the φ and ϕ values of the peptide bonds of residues 14 22 (corresponding to the previously designated residues 26 34) in each repeat (Fig. 4B and 4C).
