Example: "Understanding the basic principles of physics is a prerequisite to define the laws of motion accurately."
Alternatives: "a requirement to define" or "a condition to define".
Thus, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of viral entry and escape is a prerequisite to define viral and cellular targets and develop novel preventive and therapeutic antivirals.
This study proposes that unfolding the cross-sectoral multilevel interactions that result from existing policies is a prerequisite to define target network structures of collaboration as a basis to design policies for an effective implementation of sustainable climate action.
Since ESR1 is only expressed in a proportion of epithelial cells, the identification of epithelial-specific genes is a prerequisite to define ER associated genes and a specific ER classifier.
Accordingly, our study may be considered as a prerequisite to better define the target population and patient characteristics for further larger intervention studies.
First, we demonstrated that reconstruction of complete 3D morphologies and registration to anatomical reference structures were imminent prerequisites to define objective criteria that discriminate between cell types.
In Phase 3, our discussions indicated the need to specify activity steps and triggers as prerequisites to defining the content of a prompt.
As a matter of fact, the shift closedness of time scales plays a very important role in introducing the well-defined functions on time scales, it is a prerequisite to introduce the functions which are defined by shifts, e.g., periodic functions, almost periodic functions and almost automorphic functions, etc.
We therefore have to question whether anti-tumor activity in vivo of the mimotope defining mAb should be a prerequisite to induce antibodies with tumor inhibiting properties.
CONCLUSIONS: Describing and defining the distinct clinical entities, intuitively, is a prerequisite to developing optimal treatments.
