Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The period of virion development during which the capsid components form the immature capsid and encapsulate the viral genome; the capsid often undergoes a number of structural alterations during this period. A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for an anatomical structure to attain its fully functional state. Steps required to form an initiated synaptic vesicle into a fully formed and transmissible synaptic vesicle. Steps required to form a membrane-bounded organelle into a pigment granule containing pigment. Maturation is a developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for a cell or structure to attain its fully functional state. The final stages of microgametogenesis after the trinucleate stage has been reached resulting in viable pollen grains. A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for a cell to attain its fully functional state. The cross-linking of chitin and other cuticle proteins, rendering them insoluble and hardening the cuticle. This process generally darkens the color of the cuticle. A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for an anatomical structure, cell or cellular component to attain its fully functional state. The process that organizes a synapse so that it attains its fully functional state. Synaptic maturation plays a critical role in the establishment of effective synaptic connections in early development.
