  1. re-uptake

    Re-uptake is a biological process where neurotransmitters released into the synapse are absorbed back into the neuron that released them. This process effectively stops the signal between neurons, helping to regulate the amount of neurotransmitter that is present in the synapse and keeping the response at a stable level. Re-uptake plays a crucial role in the function of the nervous system and the overall communication between brain cells.

Examples of re-uptake in a Sentence

  1. Peter Drobac:

    It may fuel conspiracy theories around the world about a two-tiered society. If wealthy countries say they are only going to have' gold standard' with the most expensive vaccines and then say AstraZeneca is not good enough for us in the global north, but it is good enough for the global south, it could reduce uptake of the vaccine and hamper efforts to vaccinate the world.

  2. Albert Bourla:

    In addition to our efforts to increase global access and uptake among the unvaccinated, we believe boosters have a critical role to play in addressing the ongoing public health threat of this pandemic, we look forward to sharing these data with health authorities and working together to determine how they can be used to support the rollout of booster doses around the world.

  3. Heidi Larson:

    At the end of the day, it [ mandates ] does increase uptake, but for those people who are hesitant, things like that make them even more angry. They dig their heels even deeper, we did some national research with a lot of people in the UK, and brought in the whole vaccine passport question, and it was fine for the people who were pro-vaccine and accepted them, but for the people who were hesitant, it made them even more hesitant, and more likely to refuse if they felt like they were being told they had to do it, or that it was some moral responsibility.

  4. Oliver Watson:

    Previous studies looking at the impact of mandates on vaccine uptake are unlikely to capture the myriad of reasons why vaccine hesitancy related to Covid-19 will be very different to say childhood vaccination mandates for measles.

  5. Robert Music:

    Our research has shown that elimination is firmly on the horizon in the UK with deaths almost disappearing among vaccinated generations by 2040. We must not lose sight of this goal and should strive to increase uptake of the preventative vaccination and screening programmes, especially among non-vaccinated women where incidence is set to rise.
