This defense mechanism is called hemostasis and implies a delicate equilibrium between coagulation with formation of a fibrin-platelet mesh and fibrinolysis.
Extracellular matrix remolding (ECMR) is a delicate equilibrium and a prerequisite for maintenance of a healthy tissue, in which old proteins continuously are degraded and new proteins are formed (Karsdal et al., 2013).
Despite the probable absence of indicators, other than the tectonic event itself, volcanoes in a delicate equilibrium (e.g., active hydrothermal systems) could enter a state of tectonic unrest because of the seismic event.
A delicate equilibrium keeps order in the vast majority of our prisons, where the slightest misunderstanding can lead to tension and all sorts of trouble.
Under normal physiologic conditions, the integrity of bone tissues depends on maintaining a delicate equilibrium between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts which promotes bone homeostasis [ 1, 2].
Buie thinks Pluto's darker appearance is due to evaporation and redistribution of ice on the surface, which is in a delicate equilibrium with the thin atmosphere.
The adaptation phase is a fine place to be, but it's a delicate equilibrium.
"The IMF's seniority is an unwritten principle, sustained in a delicate equilibrium, and high-volume lending is testing the limit," Blejer and Eduardo Levy Yeyati, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote recently.
Complications of sepsis have been related to an intense host response based on a delicate equilibrium between various proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators [ 28].
The asymmetric distribution of lipids and proteins in the pollen tube plasma membrane modulates ion fluxes and actin dynamics and is maintained by a delicate equilibrium between exocytosis and endocytosis.
