Examples of proliferation in the following topics:
-
-
- A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation and cellular differentiation.
- A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation and cellular differentiation such as
granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a growth factor which stimulates the production of white blood cells.
- This chart shows the complexity of interactions, and the multitude of growth factors that stimulate proliferation and differentiation of cells that is common to all cell types.
- The majority of growth factors shown above are cytokines such as GM-CSF, however the hormone EPO secreted by the kidney plays a key role in erythrocyte (red blood cell) proliferation.
-
- The proliferation of nuclear weapons, explosive devices which derive force from nuclear reactions, is a key challenge of foreign policy.
- The proliferation of nuclear weapons, explosive devices which derive their destructive force from nuclear reactions (either fission or a combination of fission and fusion), is an important challenge of foreign policy.
- By the 1960s, steps were being taken to limit both the proliferation of nuclear weapons to other countries and the environmental effects of nuclear testing.
- The Partial Test Ban Treaty (1963) restricted all nuclear testing to underground facilities, to prevent contamination from nuclear fallout, while the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (1968) attempted to place restrictions on the types of activities signatories could participate in, with the goal of allowing the transference of non-military nuclear technology to member countries without fear of proliferation.
-
- Low temperatures usually inhibit or stop microbial growth and proliferation but often do not kill bacteria.
- Low temperatures usually inhibit or stop microbial growth and proliferation but often do not kill bacteria.
- Fridge temperatures inhibit the proliferation of bacteria better than molds and fungi.
-
- Technology is a powerful driver of both the evolution and proliferation of innovation.
- Technology in particular is a powerful driving force in innovative capacity, particularly as it pertains to both the evolution of innovations and the way they proliferate.
- The proliferation of innovation pertains to two important factors of technology driving innovation: the creation of geographic hubs for technology and empowerment of knowledge exchange through communication and transportation.
-
- These T cells are long-lived and can proliferate by homeostatic proliferation throughout the lifetime of the patient.
- The cortex is the site of T-cell generation and proliferation, while the medulla is connecting to the venous bloodstream and allows for transport of mature inactive T-cells to the lymph nodes, as well as transport of immature T-cells from bone marrow tissue into the thymus cortex for proliferation and maturation.
- The thymus provides an environment for T-cells to mature and proliferate.
-
- In the wake of the first (primary response) infection involving a particular antigen, the responding naïve cells (ones which have never been exposed to the antigen) proliferate to produce a colony of cells.
- Each time these cells are induced to proliferate due to an infection, the genetic region coding for the paratope undergoes spontaneous mutations with a frequency of about 1 in every 1600 cell divisions.
- Some of the resulting paratopes (and the cells elaborating them) have a better affinity for the antigen (actually, the epitope) and are more likely to proliferate than the others.
-
- The tissues of lymphoid organs are different than the tissues in most other organ systems because different tissues within the system vary considerably based on cell cycle proliferation of lymphocytes.
- The function of specialized lymphoid tissue is to support proliferation and differentiation of lymphocytes.
- The lymphatic endothelial cells proliferate into sacs that eventually become lymph nodes, with the afferent and efferent vessels that flow out from the lymph nodes.
-
- Hemopoetic growth factors regulate the growth, differentiation, and proliferation of progenitor cells in the blood and bone marrow.
- Hemopoietic growth factors regulate the differentiation and proliferation of particular progenitor cells.
-
- The mass production of paper in 15th-century Europe opened the door for the proliferation of printed books.
- The increasing mass production of paper, coupled with the invention of the printing press in 15th-century Europe, opened the doors for the proliferation of printed books.
