Perhaps the lack of response in moss and lichens reflects their adaptation to the currently high levels of CO2 that they experience close to the ground surface [106] via the process of down-regulation.

The first experiment that manipulated CO2 in the Arctic concluded that elevated CO2 concentrations had no long-term effects because photosynthetic acclimation (i.e., down-regulation, the physiological adjustment of photosynthetic rate so that no differences are found between plants grown at ambient and elevated CO2 levels) in cottongrass ( '' Eriophorum vaginatum '') was apparent within three weeks and biomass did not increase.

When we quiet the mind, contemplate, and conceive the details of what we desire, this affects the development of neural pathways that promote the down-regulation of the sympathetic nervous system, (read this as 'stress central'), and promotes relaxation, harmony, well-being.

Unlike other RNA therapeutic approaches, AVI's antisense technology has been used to directly target both messenger RNA (mRNA) and its precursor (pre-mRNA), allowing for both up and down-regulation of targeted genes and proteins.
