Alternatives: "a temporary delay" or "a brief delay".
The conditioned stimulus (CS) was a tone, the unconditioned stimulus (US) a strong white noise, and the response a transient delay in a regular sequence of hand movements in the resolution of the Tower of Toronto puzzle.
Checkpoint-proficient cells undergo a transient delay in mitotic entry upon exposure to damage [7].
Phosphorylation, kinase activation, and nuclear accumulation are events critical to the ability of Chk1 to induce a transient delay in cell cycle progression.
However, Lindquist and coworkers [37] reported only a transient delay in Hela cells microinjected with siRNA targeting cdc25C and suggested that cdc25C was not essential to mitosis in highly transformed cells.
Over-expression of miR-221/222 in myoblasts undergoing differentiation, while hampering p27 accumulation and inducing a transient delay in the exit from the cell cycle, was not sufficient to maintain myoblast proliferation.
We observed that tamoxifen induces a transient delay in pubertal ductal development.
A consistent, transient delay in 18S rRNA processing in both fibroblasts and lymphoblasts was found, although it did not result in a detectable alteration of steady-state levels of 18S rRNA or small ribosomal subunits.
In yeast, the Hog1 MAPK induces a rapid and transient delay at various stages of the cell cycle to permit the full development of adaptive responses before cell-cycle progression resumes (Clotet and Posas 2007; Yaakov et al. 2009).
Loss of sensitivity towards RSV is therefore associated with an early and transient delay in S-phase progression and a robust generation of polyploid cells enriched in stable resistant populations.
Bishop et al. (2003) provided some evidence that persistent delay has a significantly greater genetic component than transient delay.
In the complete absence of CENP-A or when CENP-A has been depleted to below the threshold required to create an epigenetic centromeric mark, cells exhibit a transient mitotic delay followed by apoptosis (22�� 22).
