(20) Apparently, the irradiation with visible light of a low intensity creates an additional proton gradient and thus stimulates a new replication and division cycle in the population of cells whose membranes do not have delta pH necessary for the initiation of these processes.
Heteroplastic
Definition:
(a.) Producing a different type of organism; developing into a different form of tissue, as cartilage which develops into bone.
Example Sentences:
