In relation to maturity

In squamous cell carcinomas, focal expression of K1 and K10, usually in relation to maturation and keratinization, can be observed regardless of whether they are derived from the skin or from internal organs (for references, see Moll 1998). However, quantitatively, squamous cell carcinomas embark on an alternative maturation pathway characterized by abundant expression of K6 and K16. In summary, basal-type keratins K5 and K6 are useful as general markers for tumors derived from basal (K5/14+ progenitor) cells, whereas K1 and K10 can be regarded as keratinization markers and therefore as squamous differentiation markers. 

Ratnambal etal. (1987) carried out a quality evaluation of ginger in relation to maturity. Quality parameters such as essential oil, oleoresin, gingerol, starch, protein and fibre contents were determined for 14 cultivars at 150, 180, 210 and 240 (full maturity) days after planting. Although the percentage contents of essential oils and oleoresin decreased with increasing maturity, the final yields/ha of these two quality components were at maximum at full maturity.

The Competent Person should have sufficient practical and theoretical knowledge and actual experience of the types of plant he is charged with examining and testing as will enable him to detect faults and weaknesses. He should have the maturity to seek such specialist advice and assistance as will be required to enable him to make the necessary judgements. He should also be able to assess the importance of any faults or weaknesses in relation to the strength and function of the plant before he is required to certify it as suitable to carry out its specified duty. The Competent Person should have access to the equipment, specialist s...

Pheromones have been defined as substances released by an individual into the external environment which precipitate a particular reaction in a conspecific (Karlson and Liischer 1959). Pheromones are used by species in a variety of phyla (see e.g. McClintock, Jacob, Zelano and Hayreh 2001), and there exist many examples of pheromone-mediated behaviour in a wide range of mammals, particularly in relation to mating behaviour and maturation (see e.g. Vandenbergh 1983). In humans however, the question of whether pheromones influence behaviour was recently listed by Science magazine as one of the top 100 outstanding questions (Anon 2005). A recent review of behavioural and anatomical studies relating to the function of pheromones in human interactions concluded that while a small number were unambiguously supportive , none seemed ultimately conclusive (Hays 2003). 

Cucurbit seeds are exalbuminous or lacking endosperm in the mature state. In such seeds the embryo is large in relation to the seed as a whole. It fills the seed almost completely and its body parts, particularly the cotyledons, store the food reserves for germination. Since the predominant tissue of the seed is cotyledonous, and since cotyledons are leaves, anatomy and histology of typical leaf tissue suffice to describe the preponderant part of the seed. Epidermal cells cover the cotyledonary surface followed by palisade and abundant parenchyma cells that contain the food reserves. Vascular tissues are also present. 

Thyroid hormone also plays a major role in the maturation of bone. A deficiency of thyroid hormone in early life leads to both delay in and abnormal development of epiphyseal centers of ossification (epiphyseal dysgenesis). Hypothyroidism-induced impairment of linear growth can lead to dwarfism in which the Umbs are disproportionately short in relation to the trunk with the apparent bone age retarded in relation to chronological age. 

Both the nonspecific and specific components of the immune system can be suppressed by chemicals, including drugs. It involves the suppression of maturation and development of immune cells. Both T and B cells develop in the bone marrow and thymus. This involves a complex series of changes in relation to antigen receptors and recognition. Chemicals can affect these processes, leading to a decrease in the number of mature T and B cells. This will result in inhibition of both the humoral and cellular responses. 

The change of moisture profile in barley and soybean seeds during maturation was measured using NMR imaging [30]. The process of seed maturation was discussed in relation to the biological and morphological characteristics of the crop.

According to traditional process, during maturation, the wines are subjected to fluctuating seasonal temperature extremes that, in relation to the length of the aging period, can lead to significant losses due to evaporation. These extremes of temperature also strongly influence the chemical and physical transformations in the wine, with important... 

It is now appreciated that the water activity gradient within the SC and the water flux through this tissue at rest and following damage, are intimately involved in several aspects of tissue homeostasis, notably in relation to water barrier repair.71 However, the observations on the control of filaggrin catabolism, originally made over 25 years ago, represent some of the earliest studies to demonstrate and emphasize the dynamic nature of SC maturation.

Functional developmental toxicity is the study of alterations or delays in the physiological or biochemical competence of an organism or organ system after exposure to an agent during pre- or postnatal development. In any given test animal, delayed development can be assessed in relation to established landmarks for physical, behavioral, and sexual maturation.
