A fundamental geological tenet is that as landscapes evolve over graded to geologic time, geologic structures control patterns of topographic distribution in mountainous areas such that terrain underlain by competent rock will be higher than terrain underlain by incompetent rock.
The association of NTM isolates with symptoms suggestive of host recognition, among immuno-competent children without underlying chronic lung disease, requires further investigation, but should not be over-interpreted as NTM disease.
Here we describe the case of an adult patient, immune-competent and without underlying diseases, with fourth nerve palsy, presenting diplopia as isolated symptom of central nervous system involvement during VZV infection without rash.
Although it is well established that KIRs, in conjunction with NKG2A, play a major role in the NK cell education that determines whether cells will end up competent or hyporesponsive, the events underlying the differentiation are still debated.
Although it is well established that KIRs, in conjunction with NKG2A, play a major role in the NK cell education that determines whether cells will end up competent or hyporesponsive, the mechanisms underlying this education are still debated [15].
Although this oocyte and cumulus cell bidirectional communication is essential for competent oocyte development, the molecular details underlying this communication remain poorly defined.
We also show that natural transformation offers a potentially powerful approach to mapping the underlying genetic causes of natural phenotypic variation in competent bacterial species.
Third, the similarity of CNS regeneration at the cellular level calls for further comparative studies of molecular gene regulatory mechanisms underlying the plasticity of radial glia in echinoderms and regeneration-competent vertebrates.
If only specialized cell populations are competent to support eye formation it raises the issue of what is the cellular and molecular environment underlying this capacity.
