(18) We conjecture that the efficacy of radioimmunoconjugates against responsive cell types may be the result of passive DNA damage by ionizing radiation and the initiation of apoptosis in response to radioimmunotherapy.

(20) Since nafenopin pretreatment stimulates the synthesis of new liver tissue, it is presently a matter of conjecture as to whether or not the newly formed hepatocytes have the capacity to take up and excrete BP and its metabolites or whether nafenopin inhibits transport in all liver tissue.
Theorem
Definition:

(v. t.) To formulate into a theorem.
Example Sentences:
