The answer to this question is one of the most commonly used indices in gerontological research and is an important indicator of functional decline and consequent restriction of activity.
The remaining six domains that do exist in the human kinome are far less common than in fungi, indicating that these kinase associated domains could be good indicator of functional differences among species.
Physical health status was measured using an indicator of functional health based on responses to 15 questions about limitations in specific areas of function or mobility including reaching; lifting; bending; stair climbing; walking; running and also bathing and dressing.
We propose that the high level of retention of Novel Core genes is an indicator of functional importance.
Early in the development of geriatric medicine, falls were identified as a "geriatric giant", a nonspecific indicator of functional decompensation.
Objective Zinc protoporphyrin/heme ratio (ZnPP/H) has been well established as an indicator of functional iron deficiency in subjects 6 months of age to adult.
A third and more recent front of research involves the measurement of blood flow in the brain, which is a fairly direct indicator of functional activity in brain tissue.
An association between functional status and nutritional status has previously been demonstrated and the value of the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) as an indicator of functional status has been investigated.
The aim of this study was to assess the ability of human limbal melanocytes (hLM) to support the expansion of human limbal epithelial cells (LECs) in vitro as an indicator of functional cell cell interaction.
The predominant expression found among paralogous kinases might be a valuable indicator of functional dominance.
Cell adhesion is an indicator of functional state of cells, and it is necessary for further growth of culture.
