GO:0060612 | adipose tissue development | biological_process | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of adipose tissue over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Adipose tissue is specialized tissue that is used to store fat. [GOC:dph] |
GO:0072539 | T-helper 17 cell differentiation | biological_process | The process in which a relatively unspecialized T cell acquires the specialized features of a T-helper 17 (Th17) cell.
