Autophagy is a complex process comprising many steps, including initiation, elongation, and autophagosome and autolysosome formation.
The delivery of medication to patients is the end result of a complex process comprising many steps, each vulnerable to error.
Although much previous work has implicitly viewed disclosure as a more or less simple one-off task, there is a growing recognition that disclosure is a complex process, comprising more than simply naming the illness.
The skin involvement in SSc is a complex process comprising ischaemia, inflammation and fibrosis and it is difficult to distinguish between thick, hard or hidebound skin.
It is a complex process comprising demographic, epidemiological, and health care transitions that manifested in rising life expectancy at birth due to changes in the fertility, mortality, and morbidity profile of a population (1, 2).
Cancer metastasis is a complex process comprising dissociation of cancer cells from the bulk tumor, invasion of the neighboring tissue, intravasation, transport through the vascular system, extravasation, engraftment of disseminated cells and, finally, outgrowth of micrometastases [ 4].
Instead, Aβ assembly has been found to be a remarkably complex process comprising aggregation events that are 'on-pathway' and 'off-pathway' for fibril formation (for a recent review, see [ 27]).
Liver regeneration or more precisely its "compensatory" growth is a complex process that comprises three main stages: transition of the quiescent hepatocyte into the cell cycle (priming); progression beyond the restriction point into the G1 phase of the cycle; and regulation of liver mass by apoptosis of excess hepatocytes in order to restore optimal liver mass/body mass ratio.
Wound healing is a complex process which comprises 4 partially overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammatory phase, proliferation phase, and remodeling.
It has been suggested that the granuloma formation represents a complex process involving initiation and development of organized multicellular structures comprised of macrophages, CD4 and CD8 T cells, dendritic cells as well as components of extracellular matrix (ECM) [2].
