It is postulated that functional cation-dependent stacking of plant thylakoid membranes requires at least one phosphoryl group per PSII, and increased phosphorylation of PSII in plants exposed to high light enhances stacking dynamics of the photosynthetic membranes.
It has been postulated that a functional relationship between basal ganglia and cerebellum could be important for controlling movement (Amaral 2000).
Given the central role Tregs play in immune control, it has long been postulated that adoptive transfer of functional Tregs could be a potent weapon in the fight against autoimmune disease, graft v. host disease (GVHD), and transplant rejection [1].
It has been postulated that a successful example of this "functional remodeling" may be mediated by neuroendocrine and immune systems (Mobbs et al 2001).
It has been postulated that the extent of neovascularization determines the functional integrity of the (spared) myocardium [ 2].
It has been postulated that similar changes in heterochromatin could have functional significance for gene expression in metazoans [ 23], especially loss of gene silencing with age.
It has been postulated that even subtle conformational changes may have important functional consequences [ 6].
It has been postulated that parallel circuitry embedded within hippocampal subfields may underlie such functional diversity.
As such, it has been postulated that early disruptions in heteromodal association cortices can contribute to a functional isolation of the hippocampal formation thus giving rise to the clinical hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, progressive memory impairment [6], [7].
Thus, it has been postulated that high plasma concentrations of folic acid may lead to a "functional" folate deficiency [ 43, 44].
