(2) Sex In a scene that Louis says "has never and will never happen to me in real life", his on-screen proxy gets hit on by a younger woman attracted to his middle-agedness.
Senescence
Definition:
(n.) The state of growing old; decay by time.
Example Sentences:
(1) The proliferation of this cell type may represent an escape from the senescence pathway and progression to immortal tumor cells.
(2) In senescent rats, however, the proportions of salt-soluble and detergent-soluble AChE may differ from those in young rats.
(3) In addition, we have shown that long-lived, presumably non-senescent, strains do not arise by suppressor mutation, but lose senescence plasmid DNA by another mechanism.
(4) Senescent (26-28 months) Fischer 344 rats were shown to have a lower density of D2 sites (-36%) without any change in affinity in membranes prepared from homogenized caudate-putamen (CPU), as compared to young adult (5-6 months) rats.
(5) The cell cycle-dependent changes in the transglutaminase mRNA levels strongly support the implicated involvement of the enzyme in cell growth, differentiation, and senescence.
(6) The increased levels of HK1 could affect other erythrocyte metabolic pathways slowing down the physiological rate of cellular senescence and result in increased activity levels of other cell-age-dependent enzymes.
(7) Advancing age was associated with a reduction in cell proliferative responses to PHA in both substrains, although the rate of decline was significantly more rapid in the senescence-prone animals.
(8) Instead of degenerative changes, these results show an activation of the vasopressinergic system in senescence and in SDAT patients, similar to earlier observations in the aged rat and in accordance with a rise in human neurophysin and VP levels reported recently.
(9) Thus, constitutive expression of specific cytochrome P450 genes is repressed or activated in senescent rats.
(10) Mild daily exercise, maintained throughout adult life into early senescence, attenuates muscle atrophy and promotes adaptive enzymatic changes in atrophying muscles.
(11) A second set of experiments which involved the injection of E2 into senescent male as well as female rats indicated that there were no sex differences in improvements in inclined screen performance, and that once the E2 injections were discontinued, performance returned to preadministration levels.
(12) Additionally, analysis of the multiple steps occurring in the El cultures, as well as in the emergence of the continuous cell lines, could potentially elucidate the processes occurring during human epithelial cell carcinogenesis and escape from senescence.
(13) Significant anamnestic SIgA responses were shown after oral immunization with DNP-BGG in adult rats, but was not observed in the senescent and midlife (10-12 months) rats.
(14) Modulation of cellular senescence by growth factors, hormones, and genetic manipulation is contrasted, but newer studies in oncogene involvement are omitted.
(15) Under the same conditions, PM from senescent mice generated 62% of the initial O2- produced in response to zymosan, and 45% in response to OZ.
(16) Untreated cells, or cells treated with MCA or TPA only, usually became senescent around 6-8 weeks after plating and died, but those treated with both MCA and TPA became immortalised and underwent transformation to a phenotype capable of growth in soft agar.
(17) Because immune senescence most profoundly affects T lymphocyte functions, we suspected that LIA production would decline with age.
(18) Abnormal granular structures, which stained positively with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS-positive granular structures; PGS), were observed in the brain of senescence accelerated mouse (SAM).
(19) In senescent females the number of small IMPs was decreased in the perikarya and dendritic shafts compared to young females while the number of large particles was increased in the outer leaflet of the membrane of dendritic shafts, reaching values similar to those observed in males.
(20) Our data suggest that the release of u-PA antigen by human macrovascular endothelial cells can be used as an indicator of cell senescence.
