These latter substances have been defined as cytokines. 3.1991, Maxine Gowen, Cytokines and Bone Metabolism, page 26, A fundamental feature expressed by the vast majority of cytokines is a profound immunomodulatory activity. Many cytokines, presently available in pure recombinant form, modify bone cell metabolism. 4.2012, Victor R.

26631 shebang [[English]] [Anagrams] edit - Ah Bengs, behangs [Etymology 1] editUnknown. First seen in 1862 with the meaning “temporary shelter”. The modern sense of “matter of concern” is from 1869; “vehicle” is from 1871–2.[1][2]In the sense of “temporary shelter”, it was perhaps brought by US Civil War Confederate enlistees from Louisiana, from French chabane (“hut, cabin”), a dialectal form of French cabane (“a covered hut, lodge, cabin”) (see cabin, cabana). Alternatively, that sense may be from or have been influenced by shebeen (“cabin where unlicensed liquor is sold and drunk”), attested pre-1800, chiefly in Ireland and Scotland, from Irish síbín (“illicit whiskey”), a diminutive of síob (“a drift”).The vehicle sense is perhaps from the unrelated French char-a-banc (“bus-like wagon with many seats”). The sense of “matter of concern” is potentially from either, or onomatopoeia.(The term was not, as is sometimes claimed, commonly used by prisoners at Andersonville in reference to their shelters. According to the US National Park Service, "While shebang was a term sometimes used to describe prisoner shelters at Andersonville, its usage was probably quite limited. In some 1,200 pages of postwar testimony by prisoners held at Andersonville, the word appears four times, and is virtually absent from most prisoner diaries and contemporary memoirs." The terms burrow, dugout, hut, lean-to, shanty, shelter and tent are far more common.) [Etymology 2] edithash +‎ bang or sharp +‎ bang, after Etymology 1. 0 0 2012/03/25 09:08 2020/05/15 20:46
