An experienced orthodontist (GP) who was blinded to the dental maturation stages assessed the skeletal maturity of the subjects.
The consecutive maturation stages from pre-B cells to mature B cells could be monitored by the coordinated acquisition and loss of leukocyte differentiation antigens.
The cervical vertebral maturation stages should be used along with other methods of biologic maturity assessment when considering both dentofacial orthopedic treatment and orthognathic surgery.
The expression differences probably reflect differences in maturation stages of the two cell types as IL-18 promotes mature T-helper cell generation (Nakanishi et al, 2001).
"If collected at late maturation stages, the truffles will likely carry eggs and larvae — adding proteins and aroma to the truffle," Dr. Martin said.
(A) AP and sPSC electrophysiological parameters indicated different maturation stages of 20 single neurons.
All of the combined dental maturation stages yielded positive LHRs up to 2.6.

We observe time-specific changes in intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters corresponding to HSC maturation stages.
Conclusions: Dental maturation stages can be used as a reliable indicator of facial growth.
However, all of these investigations [10 14, 19, 20] were limited to analyses of the distributions of the dental maturation stages according to the skeletal maturation stages, and they lacked any specific diagnostic performance analysis.
