Resistance of the malignant cells to apoptosis is an important issue in oncology, hence we next investigated whether the newly characterized necrotic signal remained efficient to eliminate in vitro and ex vivo tumor cells that harbored different molecular mechanisms to resist apoptosis.
Radiation is measured in obscure units that change significantly depending on the strength of the radiation and whether the units characterize radioactivity itself, or the interaction of the radiation with the human body.
The utility's full liability for the nuclear accident has not been established and will depend heavily on whether the government characterizes the earthquake and tsunami on March 11 as an exceptional event that could not have been readily anticipated.
Whether the inflammatory response, characterized by the released of potentially neurotoxic substances and cytokines, may cause neurodegenerative changes in neurons, or may have a neuroprotective role by stimulating the clearance of the amyloid deposits, remains to be determined (23).
The question, now, is whether you can take the microbiome characterized in the post gastric bypass patient and colonize the GI tract of obese patients who have not had bypass with those bacteria and see the same effect?
During my meeting with the Mayor, I had asked him whether that thought characterized the spirit in which he'd run City Hall.
Considering the spatial arrangement of the seed voxels according to the LE of their tractography feature vectors allowed us to investigate whether connectivity varies gradually across the insula or whether it is characterized by the presence of sharply delimited clusters.
Despite some concerns as to whether political correctness characterized the cultural competence curriculum, it was also seen as a way to rehumanize the medical education experience.
We then assessed the distribution of node connectivity to determine whether the network was characterized by a few hubs of particularly well-connected nodes (was the network scale-free?).
These data were obtained from two separate outbreaks of the same strain, H3N2, and the question of interest is whether these are characterized by the same epidemiological parameters [this question was previously considered in Clancy and O'Neill (2007) and O'Neill et al. (2000)].
