According to our results, IGF-1 and IGF-1R were the only synovial proteins showing a consistent association with disease progress, because both were progressively diminished with advance of OCD.
The shoulder heat is progressively diminished with temperature because methanol molecules are distributed over the two OH groups, due to the entropic effects.
These dNK exhibit different phenotypic characteristics and functional abilities compared with the NK population found in the peripheral blood [12], [13] and their number in the decidua is progressively diminished from mid-gestation onwards [14].
14 These results suggest that children's brains are more sensitive to conflict, and that this sensitivity is progressively diminished as they develop into adulthood.
Our study demonstrated that, unlike in fibroblasts, replicative senescence in NHKs is not caused by enhanced intracellular level of p53, as the level of p53 and its downstream gene products are progressively diminished during replicative senescence.
Moreover, this analysis, coupled with the processing of 40 years rainfall data, also taking into account the concurrent land use changes, has clearly shown that the areas affected by calanchi erosion on the Eastern Apennine margin, still tectonically active, are progressively diminishing.
This increase may primarily suggest that the recovery of the concentration of the inhaled inert gas is progressively diminishing towards residual volume, which may result in an increased time constant of lung units.
Similarly, the expressions of p53-targeting genes, p21 and PUMA, were also progressively diminished, whereas p16, a marker for senescence, gradually increased as cell senesced (Fig. 1B).
We confirmed known effects of HCMV infection on Jak1, STAT2, and IRF9 (Le et al., 2008) and demonstrated that, apart from STAT1, expression of the final effectors in both interferon induction and response pathways were all progressively diminished during infection.
