  2. Cell signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_signaling

    In biology, cell signaling (cell signalling in British English) is the process by which a cell interacts with itself, other cells, and the environment. Cell signaling is a fundamental property of all cellular life in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Typically, the signaling process involves three components: the signal, the receptor, and the effector.

  3. Development of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_human_body

    It is characterised by the process of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo that occurs during the early stages of development. In biological terms, human development entails growth from a one-celled zygote to an adult human being. Fertilization occurs when the sperm cell successfully enters and fuses with an egg cell . [2]

  4. Play therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_therapy

    Play and play therapy are generally employed with children aged six months through late adolescence and young adulthood. They provide a contained way for them to express their experiences and feelings through an imaginative self-expressive process in the context of a trusted relationship with the care giver or therapist.

  5. Adult development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_development

    The concept of adulthood has legal and socio-cultural definitions. The legal definition [4] of an adult is a person who is fully grown or developed. This is referred to as the age of majority, which is age 18 in most cultures, although there is a variation from 15 to 21. The typical perception of adulthood is that it starts at age 20 or 21.

  6. Signal transduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_transduction

    The process of signal transduction involves around 560 known protein kinases and pseudokinases, encoded by the human kinome [33] [34] As is the case with GPCRs, proteins that bind GTP play a major role in signal transduction from the activated RTK into the cell.

  7. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    For this process, the cell goes through the steps of the cell cycle and development which involves cell growth, DNA replication, cell division, regeneration, and cell death. The cell cycle is divided into four distinct phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The G phase – which is the cell growth phase – makes up approximately 95% of the cycle.

  8. House (game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(game)

    House, also referred to as "playing house" or "play grown up", is a traditional children's game. It is a form of make-believe where players take on the roles of a nuclear family . Common roles include parents, children, a newborn, and pets.

  9. Cell growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_growth

    Cell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume. [1] Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than the overall rate of cellular degradation (the destruction of biomolecules via the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism).
