Under freezing temperatures, membranes must be kept fluid in order to sustain the functional activity of membrane proteins and membranes themselves [ 53].
More fundamentally, however, the consideration of stabilisation processes in the microbial world indicates that the entities scientists work with are only relatively stable, their stability being dependent on the processes that sustain the functional integration of their parts.
We found that the BdCBF1 protein binds specifically to the CRT motif within the COR gene promoters from barley and Arabidopsis, sustaining the functional conservation of BdCBF1, and perhaps BdCBF2 and BdCBF3 as well, in Brachypodium.
A blood pump then sustains the patient pending functional recovery, cardiac transplantation or implantation of a long-term LVAD.
In addition, improving functional performance at this relatively mild stage of falls risk will assist to sustain and maintain the functional capability and mobility performance of community dwelling older adults.
26 A 3D cell culture is important for sustaining the structural and functional complexities of the cells, because most in-vivo environments are 3D.
Biomaterials used for scaffold fabrication include biological molecules (e.g., alginate, collagen, fibrin, and hyaluronan) and biomimetic synthetic polymers (e.g., polylactic and polyglycolic acids and their copolymers, polycaprolactone) where a specific supramolecular architecture is designed to sustain the differentiation and functional organization of the seeded cells [ 24– 31].
We sought to develop a functional scaffold to sustain the structure and function of islets as well as to recover some of the surface molecules damaged during isolation, seeking to improve islet transplantation outcomes.
No microscopic morphological changes in tonsillectomy specimens after bipolar RFITT sustain the assumption of no functional adverse changes after this surgery.
A recent Japanese multicenter randomized clinical trial has demonstrated that edaravone, administered within 72 hours after onset of ischemic stroke significantly reduces brain infarct volume and produces sustained benefits in the functional outcomes of patients compared with placebo treatment [ 23].
