In addition, the function as well as the transformation of Kölliker's organ to the inner sulcus is crucial for the maturation of the cochlear structure and function.
In addition to function as a water channel, AtPIP1 2 and NtAQP1 may function to facilitate CO2 transport and enhance photosynthesis by increasing the mesophyll conductance to CO2 diffusion [ 55- 59].
In addition, mitochondrial function as a measure of aging was assessed by determining mitochondrial membrane potentials using flow cytometry and by amplifying mitochondrial DNA deletions associated with aging.
In addition, cognitive function as assessed by the MMSE score was negatively correlated to amyloid deposition in this group of MDD patients.
They are able to respond to the micro-environment and adapt into differing cell types in addition to function as a signalling centre for other cells of the immune system [12].
In addition, peroxidases function as regulators of redox-mediated signal transduction in some eukaryotes [49], [50], and are therefore important components for the cellular antioxidant defense system and redox homeostasis [46].
In addition, TFP function as phage receptors, are initiators of biofilm formation, and are the primary adhesins associated with P. aeruginosa binding to both biotic and abiotic surfaces, including mammalian cells.
In addition, integrins function as mechanoreceptors and provide a force-transmitting physical link between the ECM and cytoskeleton [ 44- 48].
Analysis of the bifurcation structure also reveals novel, programmable multi-functionality; in addition to functioning as a frequency multiplier, the network is able to function as a switch or an oscillator, depending on the temporal nature of the input.
In addition to functioning as direct antimicrobial compounds, AMPs can function as chemokines.
T7-like RNA polymerases, in addition to functioning as transcription enzymes in viruses, also function as primases in lagging strand synthesis in eukaryotic mitochondria [ 19].
