If you want to be considered a precursor, that would seem to be the minimum requirement.
An initial list of future building block and precursor biochemicals was compiled with inspiration from a study that aimed to identify the top value added chemicals that can be produced from biomass [ 25].
As shown in Figure 4A, the myelosuppression model is a physiologically based based model, with components of blood cell precursor proliferation, maturation, blood cell circulation and a feedback mechanism, that aim to separate system-related parameters from drug-related parameters.
In a screening programme that aims to detect both CRC and its precursors (adenomas), as applies to endoscopy-based screening, the epidemiology of adenomas might also be considered.
The combination of anorganic bone mineral (ABM/P-15) and synthetic peptide P-15 acts as a bioactive attachment factor that aims to replicate type I collagen binding mechanism with osteogenic precursor cells in bone tissue [ 11, 12].
Clinically relevant molecules that modify the properties of neural stem and progenitor cells (termed neural precursor cells; NPCs) could well provide a foundation for regenerative strategies that aim to replace lost and damaged neural cell types in the injured CNS.
The mechanisms of regional specification of hippocampal precursor cells has not been analyzed in greater detail, except for a few reports that aimed at delineating broader differences between precursor cells in the SGZ and the SVZ [4], [5].
N.B.A. owners and players held another "information-sharing session" on Wednesday, a precursor to negotiations aimed at reaching a new labor deal by the summer of 2011.
"In a sense, Coubertin was a precursor of that.
When we look back on these Frost/Nixon interviews, we may have been seeing a precursor of that.
