Acta Biotheoretica, 1958
In this paper we intend to propose a definition of function in biology. First we delimitated the problem and pointed out that a definition must not be related to hypotheses such as the causal connexion between form and function, phylogenetics or evolution, but that only the existence of functions is to be considered. The elements to be expressed in the

The Biology of Neurotrophins: Cardiovascular Function
2014This chapter addresses the role of neurotrophins in the development of the heart, blood vessels, and neural circuits that control cardiovascular function, as well as the role of neurotrophins in the mature cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system includes the heart and vasculature whose functions are tightly controlled by the nervous system ...

Differentiation
Fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF12) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHF) subfamily, which is also known as the FGF11 subfamily. The human FGF12 gene is located on chromosome 3 and consists of four introns and five coding exons. Their alternative splicing results in two FGF12 isoforms - the shorter 'b' isoform and the longer '

The Biology and Functions of Th22 Cells [PDF]
, 2014 T helper (Th) cells develop from naïve CD4(+) T cells under lineage-specific culture conditions and are nominated by their lineage-specific cytokines. Th22 cells, new players in adoptive immune responses, are identified by the production of interleukin (IL)-22.

Endogenous Opioids: Biology and Function
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1984even less so. It was therefore impossible for the functionally minded neuro scientist to design and execute experiments taking this heterogeneity into consideration. Even pharmacological studies with these peptides were difficult to interpret in a physiological framework.

Functional Explanation in Biology
Philosophy of Science, 1965This paper is concerned with the problem of giving a correct analysis of function statements as they are used in biology. Examples of such statements are (1) The function of the myelin sheath is to insulate the nerve fiber and (2) The function of chlorophyll is to enable photosynthesis to take place.

Biology of female sexual function
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2002Although the psychosocial and relationship aspects of female sexuality have been extensively investigated, studies concerning the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of female sexual function and dysfunction are limited. The paucity of biologic data may be attributed to a lack of reliable experimental models and tools for investigating female ...

A Functional Biology of Nematodes
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1986Abstract A Functional Biology of Nematodes is the fifth in a functional biology series which aims to explain how organisms “make a living” in nature, and acquire and make use of resources in metabolism, movement growth, reproduction etc. This book is directed specifically at the research worker and final year undergraduate.

The cell biology of osteoclast function
Journal of Cell Science, 2000ABSTRACT Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption. They have developed an efficient machinery for dissolving crystalline hydroxyapatite and degrading organic bone matrix rich in collagen fibers. When initiating bone resorption, osteoclasts become polarized, and three distinct membrane domains appear: a ruffled
