The phrase "a host of developmental" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a large number of developmental aspects, issues, or opportunities in a specific context.
Example: "The project faced a host of developmental challenges that needed to be addressed before moving forward."
Alternatives: "a multitude of developmental" or "a range of developmental".
To even admit that feels shameful; I chose both single parenthood as well as WD himself – a charming, beautiful little boy, whom I adore, and whom I adopted knowing he had a host of developmental delays.
People with fetal alcohol syndrome tend to have a host of developmental problems, including difficulty paying attention, bad memory, learning disabilities and speech problems.
By knocking down the expression of Parp3 in zebrafish embryos, we readily observed a host of developmental defects within the first 48 hrs after fertilization consistent with impaired regulatory networks at the neural plate border, a region formed at the interface of the neuroectoderm and the non-neural ectoderm in the hindbrain of early embryos.
Implications and future directions The authors' comprehensive analysis of sesB mutant flies demonstrates that ANT deficiency causes a host of developmental and neurological phenotypes that are underpinned by abnormalities in metabolism.
The 'rough' eye readout is relatively nonspecific in models of human neurodegenerative diseases and can result from the disruption of a host of developmental processes in addition to cell death per se.
A host of developmental and reproductive abnormalities in many species, including humans (Guillette et al. 1995; McLachlan 2001; Tyler et al. 1998), result from exposure to estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
Auxin regulates a host of plant developmental and physiological processes, including embryogenesis, vascular differentiation, organogenesis, tropic growth, and root and shoot architecture.
This study turned out to become one of the most influential longitudinal studies tackling a host of major developmental questions.
In fact, the pelagobenthic transition is coordinated by a host of conserved developmental regulators (i.e. signaling pathway components and transcription factors) that are differentially expressed in larval and adult stages.
Elevated PbB concentrations in children are associated with a host of cognitive, developmental, and behavioral impairments so serious that lead-based paint was banned in the United States in 1978 and lead water pipe solder was banned in the 1980s.
Some of the most well-studied avian genetic developmental mutants have been the talpids (talpid, talpid and talpid ): three independently discovered, naturally occurring, autosomal recessive, lethal mutants characterized by pre-axial polydactyly, craniofacial anomalies and a host of other developmental defects (Abbott et al., 1959; Ede and Kelly, 1964a, b; MacCabe and Abbott, 1974).
