Binding to a nuclear glucocorticoid receptor.

Binding to a nuclear receptor protein. Nuclear receptor proteins are DNA-binding transcription factors which are regulated by binding to a ligand.

Replacement ossification wherein bone tissue replaces cartilage.

Ossification that requires the replacement of a preexisting tissue prior to bone tissue formation.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a neurotransmitter into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.

Catalysis of the transfer of a xylosyl group to an acceptor molecule, typically another carbohydrate or a lipid.

Direct ossification that occurs within mesenchyme or an accumulation of relatively unspecialized cells.

The formation of bone or of a bony substance, or the conversion of fibrous tissue or of cartilage into bone or a bony substance, that does not require the replacement of preexisting tissues.

A cytoskeleton-like structure, originating from the basal body at the proximal end of a cilium, and extending proximally toward the cell nucleus. Rootlets are typically 80-100 nm in diameter and contain cross striae distributed at regular intervals of approximately 55-70 nm.

A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for a blood vessel to attain its fully functional state.

OBSOLETE. The fraction of cells, prepared by disruptive biochemical methods, that is enriched for plasma membranes.

Uptake of D-glucose into the blood by absorption from the small intestine.

Uptake of hexoses, notably D-glucose, fructose, and galactose, into the blood by absorption from the small intestine.

The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a brown adipocyte, an animal connective tissue cell involved in adaptive thermogenesis. Brown adipocytes contain multiple small droplets of triglycerides and a high number of mitochondria.

Partitioning the posterior region of the insect head anlage into gnathal (mandibular, maxillary and labial) segments. Unlike the anterior head (procephalic) segments, formation of the posterior head (gnathal) segments occurs by a similar mechanism to trunk segmentation, where a cascade of gap genes, pair-rule genes and segment-polarity genes subdivide the embryo into progressively smaller domains.
