The phrase "a regulated process" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a procedure or system that is controlled or governed by specific rules or standards.
Example: "The manufacturing of pharmaceuticals must follow a regulated process to ensure safety and efficacy."
Alternatives: "a controlled procedure" or "an overseen method".
The aim of this short review is to argue that CR is indeed a regulated process and that its main regulator pathways, mTOR and Sirt-1, are connected to the p53 pathway.
Thus, it seems that recruitment of the processing machinery at the time of nucleolar assembly is a regulated process most probably dependent on cell cycle progression.
Ever since the realization that aging is a regulated process, intense research has gone into uncovering the key players underlying its regulation.
Maizel, A. et al. Engrailed homeoprotein secretion is a regulated process.
Ageing is a regulated process in which hormones have pivotal roles.
Maciver, N.J. et al. Glucose metabolism in lymphocytes is a regulated process with significant effects on immune cell function and survival.
Autophagy is a regulated process that sequesters and transports cytoplasmic materials such as protein aggregates via autophagosomes to lysosomes for degradation.
This suggests that aging is not merely an issue of haphazard wear and tear, but that it follows a regulated process — and that the impairments associated with the aging process can be disrupted.
You have a red blister on your finger because you touched a hot iron; you have a red blister on your finger because the burn excited an inflammatory cascade of prostaglandins and cytokines, in a regulated process that we still understand only imperfectly.
In contrast, it has more recently been shown that signal fluctuations can sharpen the response in a regulated process by the principle of stochastic focusing (SF) (Paulsson et al., 2000, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 97 7148 7153).
But Kenyon reasoned that aging, like development, was a regulated process, meaning that there was "some kind of dial that you could turn to make aging go faster or slower that had to do with our the genes and was something more than just random damage". That thought was almost heresy in scientific circles, Kenyon recalls.
