While the mechanisms of some promising phytomedicines, such as ASHMI, have begun to be elucidated (reviewed in [51]) the mechanisms of most plant-based medicines remain unknown.
Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells reside in a hypoxic environment in vivo, while the mechanisms of how NP cells maintain survival under hypoxia are not clear.
While the mechanisms of PSC activation are increasingly being described in literature, the influence of matrix stiffness on PSC activation is largely unexplored.
While the mechanisms of transmission of culture and social capital may overlap, the crucial distinction between the two is that culture operates mainly through preferences and beliefs, whereas social capital is expected to impact productivity and wages.
While the mechanisms of acute inflammatory response during the early phases of sepsis have been explored, mechanisms of resolution and tissue repair late in sepsis have not been evaluated.
Metal sorption on soil hydrous oxides is a type of inner-sphere complexation [39], while the mechanisms of metal sorption on phyllosilicates is dominated by cation exchange, outer-sphere complexation and inner-sphere complexation or even precipitation [40, 41].
While the mechanisms of short-term adaptation to prism-altered apparent visual direction have been widely investigated, the processes underlying adaptation to prism-altered perceived distance are less well known.
While the mechanisms of action are not completely understood, the immunogenicity of GA, its strong major histocompatability complex (MHC) binding, immune deviation and bystander suppression all appear to be important.
