Resorb
Definition:
(v. t.) To swallow up.
Example Sentences:
(1) E-RFC enriched for T lymphocytes and depleted of macrophages synthesized considerable DNA in response to stimulation with PHA, but were unable to produce significant bone resorbing activity in tissue culture unless macrophages were re-added to the E-RFC.

(5) It has a number of advantages: it is far more rapid, less painful and offers good visualisation of the nerve roots as compared with air myelography; unlike myelography with iodine-based oils, it is not necessary to remove the contrast medium after the examination since Metrizamide is spontaneously resorbable.
(6) Untreated grafts stimulated a severe inflammatory response and were almost completely resorbed by two weeks.

(12) Within this group, fetal resorption had a significant effect upon the sex ratio, and this relationship was significantly affected by the number of implanted embryos: resorbing dams produced male-biased litters at small and intermediate numbers of implantation sites and female-biased litters when the number of implanted embryos was large.
