Sedation	NCIT_C21097	[The process of allaying nervous excitement or the state of being calmed. (Taber's)]
Anesthesia Procedure	NCIT_C15181	[Treatment with a pharmacological substance that produces a loss of feeling.]
Therapeutic Procedure	NCIT_C49236	[An action or administration of therapeutic agents to produce an effect that is intended to alter or stop a pathologic process.]
TNC Gene	NCIT_C21091	[This gene is involved in cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation.]
Wound Repair	NCIT_C17260	[Restoration of diseased or damaged tissues naturally by healing processes.]
Environment-to-Cell Communication	NCIT_C19143	[Any process by which signals are passed between two distinct cell types over a distance, typically through the circulatory system. This process is employed in most hormone-receptor communication, and is involved in metabolism, immune response, sexual development, behavior, nervous system function, regulation of mood and circadian rhythms, as well as other processes.]
HSPB1 Gene	NCIT_C21092	[This gene is involved in transcriptional regulation, and plays a major role in cellular stress responses.]
Chaperone Gene	NCIT_C25802	[Genes that encode cytoplasmic proteins of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that bind to nascent or unfolded polypeptides and ensure correct folding or transport. Chaperone proteins do not covalently bind to their targets and do not form part of the finished product. Heat-shock proteins are an important sub set of chaperones. Three major families are recognised, the chaperonins (groEL and hsp60), the hsp70 family and the hsp90 family. Outside these major families are other proteins with similar functions including nucleoplasmin, secB and T-cell receptor associated protein.]
Cell Survival	NCIT_C16407	[A process that encompasses the viability of a cell and its ability to subsist and maintain the integrity of cellular processes. Survival mechanisms ensure that the cell will be able to adapt and carry on cellular activities such as replication, repair, and metabolism.]
Cytoskeletal Modeling	NCIT_C20768	[Subcellular biological functions, activities, or processes that generate, maintain, or modify macromolecular cytoskeletal components. (NCI)]
Heat-Shock Response	NCIT_C17888	[A constellation of responses that occur when an organism is exposed to excessive heat and other environmental stresses. Responses include synthesis of some proteins, repression of other proteins, and expression of new proteins. (From Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)]
Preemptive Analgesia	NCIT_C21093	[Treatment with analgesics on a schedule or in advance of the return of pain in an attempt to minimize peaks in the pain cycle.]
