Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) (1). The function of DCs depends on their maturation stages progenitors in the bone marrow, precursors in the blood, immature DCs in peripheral tissues, antigen-transporting DCs in the afferent lymphatics, and...

Ecosystems may be described developmentally as young (serai, successional) or mature (climatic). In a young ecosystem, developmental stages or communities are rapidly replaced by other communities. This succession leads ultimately to the mature stage. The distinguishing characteristic of the mature, or climax, stage is that the dominant species that form the community can replace themselves thus, the community is in equilibrium with its normal environment.

Oxamniquine is a second choice agent against Schistosoma mansoni. It is ineffective against other Schistosoma species. It shows activity against both the early developmental as well as the mature stages of Schistosoma mansoni. Its mode of action is not well understood. 

Teeth are most susceptible to the adverse effects of excess fluoride at the transition and early maturation stages of enamel development [87]. The timing of these stages varies with the type of tooth [88]. For the most prominent teeth, the upper central incisors, the most sensitive period appears to be 13-24 months, with some indication that the timing varies slightly for boys and girls [87,88].
