Although MMP16 is closely related to MMP14 in terms of its molecular structure and tissue expression pattern [10], [24], differences in the expression profiles suggest that MMP16 is not merely functionally redundant to MMP14.
In terms of the functionally unknown genes in the modules (Additional file 13: Table S9), the analysis showed that they were also included in some gene clusters.
Results showed that treatment with ranibizumab both as monotherapy or combined treatment were significantly better than laser monotherapy in terms of VA functionally and OCT findings anatomically.
Drosophila melanogaster has one of the best characterized metazoan genomes in terms of functionally annotated regulatory elements.
An altogether different perspective stems from Mussa-Ivaldi and colleagues, namely that neural circuits in the spinal cord are organized in terms of functionally distinct modules.
The major challenge is to functionally reconstruct the anatomical region; this is crucial in terms of correct mandibular function.
Central among these is the notion of a basic entity that is individuated in terms of what it 'does.' This type of functionally individuated entity is often labeled 'process' in a technical sense of this term that does not coincide with our common-sense notion of a process.
And what is really and deeply controversial is whether phenomenal consciousness can be explained in terms of some or other functionally-definable notion.
In addition, some functions are not completely discernible in terms of structure because, e.g., the functionally discriminating properties are too rare to be singled out by general rules.
The study aimed (1) to examine if there are equivalent results in terms of union, alignment and elbow functionally comparing single- to dual-column plating of AO/OTA 13A2 and A3 distal humeral fractures and (2) if there are more implant-related complications in patients managed with bicolumnar plating compared to single-column plate fixation.
To better understand the root response, we divided all root responsive genes into 1 of 3 categories (initial, persistent, or latent), and selected 3 prominent (in terms of fold-change) clusters of functionally related genes per category.
