In the paper, the group writes that XMRV is still a "genuine infectious agent" with "as-yet undefined pathogenic potential"; they point out that the virus is able to infect mice and two primate species and that several research groups have discovered interesting biological properties that could be useful, for instance, in cancer research.
The role of PET in post-treatment follow-up is undefined; one potential advantage is its ability to evaluate for local recurrence and metastatic disease in one study.
The postoperative elevation of hsAFP-L3 may reflect undefined malignant potential of HCC tumor that was not shown by pathologic and imaging examinations.
Although the order of connectivity remains undefined, the potential for relative stoichiometry determination based on ion current measurements within a mixture of multiple chain types provides an unprecedented level of characterization from a single experiment.
Two of these lesions were finally diagnosed as 'follicular proliferations with undefined malignant potential (UMP) (Rosai et al, 1992; Papotti et al, 2005) because evidence of capsular impingement of the neoplastic cells, without clear aspects of invasion, was histologically demonstrated after evaluation of multiple tissue sections.
Background: The etiology of chronic urticaria is undefined, but the potential role of infectious agents as one triggering factor has been suggested.
While Apple claims a dominant lead in the smart watch category (52% market share, according to Juniper Research), this category remains largely undefined, with strong potential for 'unexpected' companies to carve out key niches.
Importantly, materials derived from living tissues are often inherently variable with undefined constituents, creating potential for significant batch-to-batch variability with consequences for reproducibility in experimental data.
The mechanisms underlying anthracycline-associated myocardial damage are undefined, but a potential mechanism may include enhanced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes (Meinardi et al, 2000; Wallace, 2003; Wouters et al, 2005).
In most cases, the effects of CO2/HCO3− have been ascribed to as yet undefined chemoreceptors [40] [42], but potential links to cAMP signaling, such as in carotid body [43], suggest additional, somatic roles for a bicarbonate regulated adenylyl cyclase, such as sAC.
