In this book, two pioneers in research on the thalamus examine the close two-way relationships between thalamus and cerebral cortex and look at the distinctive functions of the links between the thalamus and the rest of the brain.
Moreover, the increasing body of evidence for the distinctive functions of the galectins themselves, all binding to some undefined β-D-galactoside ligands, clearly underscores the need to understand the multiple but selective binding interactions.
These analysis do not find male vs. female-specific expression for the two LEAFY-paralogs in several gymnosperm species, and thus do not support distinctive functions of the two LEAFY-like genes in specifying male and female reproductive organs, which is compatible with the OOM/OOF theories but not with the MM one.
However, the distinctive function of the two tissues is determined by the exact composition of the matrices synthesised by their native cells.
Because of the overlapping substrate preferences, there is a redundancy in the PC functionality, albeit distinctive functions of furin have also been reported [47].
In contrast to the effect on aldicarb sensitivity, expression of Ex[eat-6] in WT background did not change EPG (Figure 3b,f), which again points to distinctive functions of EAT-6 in the pharyngeal and locomotory circuits.
Extensive studies have focused on T memory stem cells (TSCM), defined as CD45RO−, CD45RA+, CD28+, CD27+, CCR7+, CD62L+, and IL-7Rα+ T cells, with increased levels of IL-2Rβ, LFA-1, CD95, and CXCR3; these studies have demonstrated several distinctive functions of memory cells.
NF- κB-dependent differentiation of monocytes into either M1 or M2 macrophages in response to cytokines produced by immune cells also accounts for the involvement of NF- κB in inflammation associated metabolic disorders, taking distinctive functions of M1 and M2 macrophages into consideration.
The distinctive function of phonemes, which depends upon and supports the principle of the duality of structure, can be related to the cognitive function of language.
The view that "art is imitation" is at least as old as the Greek philosopher Plato (c. 428 c. 347 bce), and, although not widely held today, its long and distinguished history is evidence of its continuing hold on human beings as an account of the distinctive function of art.
