In an ecological context, in habitats with periodically changing conditions like the intertidal, temporal splitting of basic physiological functions and differential regulation of genes can be regularly expected, posing a potential problem for reference gene stability [ 11].
We propose a range of biochemical, cellular, and immunological processes to be explored in order to provide information on the early effects of NMs on some basic physiological functions and chemical defense mechanisms.
Collaborating with scientists from New York, Toronto, and Tokyo, Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers have devised two methods for using stem cells to generate the type of neurons that help regulate behavioral and basic physiological functions in the human body, such as obesity and hypertension, as well as sleep, mood, and some social disorders.
Ectotherms constitute the vast majority of terrestrial biodiversity and are especially likely to be vulnerable to climate warming because their basic physiological functions such as locomotion, growth, and reproduction are strongly influenced by environmental temperature.
Meprin metalloproteases are thought to be involved in basic physiological functions such as cell proliferation and tissue differentiation.
Ectotherms rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature, thus ambient temperature has a strong influence on many of their basic physiological functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction [ 19], as well as on their phenology (e.g., [ 20, 21]), and geographic distribution [ 22].
These major axonal tracts connect distant regions of the developing brain, such as cortex, thalamus, and the brainstem, and are essential to basic physiological functions such as respiratory control.
The pituitary gland is a central endocrine organ that regulates basic physiological functions such as growth, stress response, reproduction, lactation and metabolic homeostasis.
Iron plays a crucial role in the basic physiological functions of mammalian pathogens, e.g., ATP synthesis, formation of heme, bacterial survival and persistent infection.
"It's very conserved, and that's because it plays such a basic function". Though it makes up only about 0.3percentt of the adult human brain, the hypothalamus serves as a regulator for numerous basic physiological functions.
