The peptide oxytocin is traditionally implicated in parturition and lactation (Uvnäs-Moberg 1998).
An imbalance between cell surface-associated proteinases and their inhibitors (higher concentrations of MMPs and lower concentrations of TIMPs) has been traditionally implicated in tumour expansion.
Hox genes are an evolutionarily conserved cluster of homeodomain-containing transcription factors traditionally implicated in patterning the anterior-posterior body axis of animals (Duboule, 2007; Iimura and Pourquié, 2007) and crucial for a set of developmental programs.
Although the cerebellum has traditionally been implicated in motor control, there are stronger cerebellar projections from the PFC in humans (30.85%) than found in nonhuman primates (16.4%) (38), and these may have evolved in the course of evolution following the same course as the PFC itself (39).
Changes in vagal function have traditionally been implicated in the pathogenesis of gastroparesis, although solid evidence is lacking and the correlation between autonomic dysfunction and delayed gastric emptying is modest at best [ 2, 34].
While nAChRs are traditionally not considered to be implicated in the toxic action of AVMs in ecdysozoans, they can be allosterically modulated by IVM [ 27].

Increased Na+, K+-ATPase activity has traditionally been implicated in the pathogenesis of TPP.
Multiple causes have traditionally been implicated in trauma coagulopathy, including clotting factor consumption and dilution, hypothermia and acidosis - all linked to large-volume crystalloid infusion and late replacement of clotting elements [ 40, 41].
Additional co-receptors include neuropilins that have traditionally been implicated in cell guidance (Kawasaki et al, 1999) and increased binding of VEGF to its signalling receptor (Soker et al, 1998).
