Ablation refers to the removal or destruction of something, often in a medical or scientific context. It can involve the surgical removal of tissue, such as in the case of a tumor, or the use of extreme temperatures or energy to eliminate unwanted cells or tissue.

On the other hand, there are many other tissues — notably, the kidney and articular cartilage — where p16Ink4a - expressing senescent cells appear to be a contributing factor to human and murine degenerative aging, but which were not evaluated in treated or control mice in this study, and it would be of interest to see the effects of

We used satellite and in situ technologies to assess surface drainage conditions on the southwestern
ablation surface after an extreme 2012 melting event.
Glacier mass balance modelling indicates that to compensate for the
increased ablation from a temperature rise of 1 °C a precipitation increase of 20 % (Oerlemans, 1981) or 35 % (Raper et al., 2000) would be required.

Whole - body Induced Cell Turnover (WICT) consists of the qualitative and quantitative coordination of targeted
cell ablation with exogenous cell administration so as to effect the replacement of a patient's entire set of endogenous cells with exogenous cells (of the same quantity and cell type as the ablated endogenous cells they are replacing) derived from human pluripotent stem cells and directionally differentiated in vitro prior to their administration.
