They will stop following the player once they are too far away or if they are attacked while following him. They also tend to be physically weak, dying within a few shots, as well as having no combat capabilities. Colette Green (Level 4 Research Associate)ДЄlthough cowardly and clumsy at times, scientists can assist the player with certain tasks, such as using retinal scanners to open doors.Gina Cross (Level 4 Research Associate).Rosenberg (Advanced Physics Researcher).Gordon Freeman (Level 3 Research Associate).Many Survey Team scientists have died on Xen. Because of the danger, Survey Team members are highly trained in the use of the HEV Suit and a variety of weapons. Their assignment is the most dangerous, as they are tasked with entering the borderworld Xen to collect samples and conduct experiments. Survey Team - Survey Teams were organized soon after the first teleportation labs were constructed in Black Mesa.Instructor - Scientists will often take on additional work training employees and conducting simulations in the Sector A Training Facility, as themselves or their hologram counterparts.Hazardous Environment Supervisor - Supervisors act in a similar role to research associates in that they assist in experiments, but they are primarily concerned with maintaining a safe work environment.Colette Green are notable research associates. They are usually required to conduct the more mundane or less desirable portions of a given experiment. Research Associate - Research Associates work alongside R&D scientists, but with a lower status in the employment hierarchy.Most R&D scientists have a limited knowledge of first aid, and can heal some wounds. The research conducted ranges in focus from particle physics to biological study to space travel. Research and Development - The largest portion of the scientists are assigned to research and development positions, where they conduct experiments and create new technologies.When you are injured, they will inject healing agents, making them extremely important to your existence. They are your coworkers, mentors, and allies although occasionally they are too busy to even notice you. In the Half-Life Audio Script, the scientists are described as follows: The scientists are brisk and businesslike faced with the stress of fantastically improbable situations, they either devolve into hysterical panic and shock, or shield themselves with hyperrational analysis. Some scientists are trained in the use of the MP5 submachine gun as part of Hazard Course training, but most have little or no combat skills or experience. In Opposing Force, a cleansuit-wearing variation of the normal scientist appears in limited areas. Like other employees, scientists have an assigned uniform, consisting of a blue shirt, white lab coat, red striped tie and white (or beige) slacks. The results suggest that formation of latent complexes may switch endogenous TGF-beta 1 from an autocrine/paracrine mode of action to a more endocrine mode involving target organs distant from the site of synthesis.Each scientist is granted a different security clearance specific to his or her duty, with an average clearance of Level 5. The pharmacokinetics of TGF-beta 1 in the latent complex were shown to be critically dependent on the degree of sialylation of the complex. Whereas active TGF-beta 1 was rapidly taken up by the liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen and degraded, TGF-beta 1 in the latent complex was largely confined to the circulation, and was less than 5% degraded after 90 min. TGF-beta 1 in this latent complex had a greatly extended plasma half-life (greater than 100 min) in rats compared with active TGF-beta 1 (2-3 min). Radiolabeled latent TGF-beta 1 was formed by noncovalent association of 125I-TGF-beta 1 with the TGF-beta 1 precursor 'pro' region from recombinant sources. We have investigated the possibility that latent complex formation may extend the plasma half-life of TGF-beta 1 and alter its organ distribution. Previous work has indicated that active TGF-beta 1 has a very short plasma half-life in rats (Coffey, R. Under normal physiological conditions, it is made as a biologically latent complex whose significance is unknown.

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is a key regulator of cell growth and differentiation.
