MAPK/ERK pathway. The MAPK/ERK pathway (also known as the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway) is a chain of proteins in the cell that communicates a signal from a receptor on the surface of the cell to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.
Acclimatization or acclimatisation (also called acclimation or acclimatation) is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment (such as a change in altitude, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH), allowing it to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions.
What the wood needs is acclimation, and it is the process of getting your new floors used to the conditions inside your house (temperature and humidity). Depending on the type of flooring the acclimation time can vary between 48 and 96 hours. This is an important step in the flooring installation process. There are flooring products which donât need to acclimate. Examples are tile, carpet and some engineered hardwood.
