Increased BMI in children on a path to becoming overweight adults precedes an advancement in skeletal development and subsequently tall stature during puberty. Further work is required to assess the predictive value of accelerated pubertal height growth for assessing obesity risk in a variety of ...
Lower third molar development in relation to skeletal maturity and chronological age. The development of lower third molar anlage was investigated longitudinally and related to chronological age and to skeletal maturation stage as judged by the mineralization of epiphyses in the hand. Strong correlations...
Average age and body mass at maturation (imago emergence) for cohorts of different starting densities were calculated for each sex separately. Smooth curves were generated from quadratic fits to non-averaged empirical data of growth rate vs. body mass (MATLAB routine polyfit), combined with ...
The development of crustal growth models for the continental crust are discussed, and a number of models based on different data sets indicate that 65%-70% of the present volume of the continental crust was generated by 3 Ga. Such estimates may represent minimum values, but since ∼3 Ga ...
BFO-mediated shoot growth promotion under LP probably results from complex microbiota–root–shoot signalling mechanisms involving light perception, plant development and immune responses. To identify host components required for the prioritization of microbiota-induced growth over defence under LP, we monit...
The growth and development of each group are obviously affected by environmental factors (Wang et al., 2013). Generally, the population hatching in the cold water period was larger in size and grew faster (Wang, 2009; Yamaguchi et al., 2015). The growth of individuals at different stages ...

Improved survival due to advances in neonatal care has brought issues such as postnatal growth and development more to the focus of our attention. Most studies report stunting in children born very preterm and/or small for gestational age. In this articl
