The initiation of the activity of the inactive enzyme MAP kinase by phosphorylation by a MAPKK [goid 187] [pmid 12728244] [evidence TAS]; Blood vessel formation when new vessels emerge from the proliferation of pre-existing blood vessels [goid 1525] [pmid 12604792] [evidence IDA]; A process which directly inhibits any of the steps required for cell death by apoptosis [goid 6916] [pmid 12604792] [evidence IDA]; The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis) [goid 6935] [pmid 12604792] [evidence IDA]; The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages [goid 6954] [pmid 11259612] [evidence NAS]; Any process that increases the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol [goid 7204] [pmid 12728244] [evidence TAS]; The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a peptide neurotransmitter binding to a cell surface receptor [goid 7218] [evidence IEA]; The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis [goid 7283] [pmid 10580115] [evidence IMP]; The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population [goid 8283] [pmid 12604792] [evidence IDA]; The series of events required for an organism to receive a painful stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Pain is medically defined as the physical sensation of discomfort or distress caused by injury or illness, so can hence be described as a harmful stimulus which signals current (or impending) tissue damage. Pain may come from extremes of temperature, mechanical damage, electricity or from noxious chemical substances [goid 19233] [pmid 12728244] [evidence TAS]; Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction [goid 45987] [pmid 11259612] [evidence IDA]; Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism [goid 48511] [evidence IEA]
