SMCs and MFBs in the intima or injury sites can proliferate, secrete ECM proteins, and increase stress fiber contractility by expressing α-SMA under interstitial flow, which therefore contribute to wound closure and healing, vascular remodeling, or vascular lesion formation.
However, tumours frequently overexpress genes that inhibit apoptosis and which therefore contribute to treatment resistance (Cory et al, 1999).
Gene expression values with larger dynamic ranges tend to be less susceptible to extrinsic factors such as random noise and batch effects which therefore contribute less.
In parallel with these technical developments for ascertaining cause of death, concern has grown about the large proportion of deaths in the world that are not certified by cause and which therefore contribute nothing to global evidence on cause of death and the implications for public health.
Only hepatic microarray data was available in the literature, which therefore also contributed to our choice of tissue.
Furthermore, the maternal half-sib design allowed us to control for differences in maternal investments [ 56- 58], which therefore did not contribute to the variation in offspring fitness observed in our study.
Although the prevalent view is that blindsight may be mediated by activity in higher cortical areas such as V5/MT [28], [29], [29], it is clear from the data we present here that, visually driven activity in the absence of V1 input also persists in early extrastriate areas V2 and V3, which may therefore contribute to this phenomenon.
Research in Australia has demonstrated the impact of dysfunctional tendencies on academic performance, which may therefore contribute to drop-out [ 19].
Ivashchenko et al. demonstrated a reciprocal regulation by SREBP-2 and SREBP-1 of DDAH-1 and could therefore explain the positive ADMA-lowering effect by simvastatin which might therefore contribute to the vasculoprotective effect of statins [ 122].
