The phrase "adjacent mechanism" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to a mechanism that is next to or closely related to another mechanism, often in technical or scientific discussions.
Example: "The adjacent mechanism in the assembly plays a crucial role in the overall functionality of the device."
Alternatives: "neighboring mechanism" or "contiguous mechanism".
Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axes are adjacent mechanisms in regulating body core temperature that can be influenced by drugs that affect them.
The widely proposed hypothesis that there is an infectious pathogen associated with the arterial damage, which can condition adjacent immune mechanisms prolonging the inflammatory response, independently from whether the pathogen persists or not in the affected tissue, has been controversial and could be due to the diverse methodological approaches.
In summary, the system behaves precisely as predicted by the adjacent cap open mechanism.
The resulting films are electroactive, involving an electron hopping mechanism between adjacent ferrocene moieties.
Repast- HPC provides "buffer" sharing mechanism across adjacent processes, which is parametrized by the neighborhood type and the size of the buffer (see Fig. 4a).
These observations are quite counter-intuitive since proteins in the internal leaflet are not in direct contact with the interacting lymphocyte and GPI-anchored proteins have been shown to be frequently transferred to adjacent cells via a mechanism called GPI-painting (see [42] and references therein).
This finding indicates that even if the LINE/SINE elements in E. histolytica contain DNA methylation they do not necessarily co-regulate adjacent genes by this mechanism.
Multiple independent lines of evidence strongly suggest that heparin from mast cells can suppress tumor cell growth through an indirect mechanism involving adjacent fibroblasts.
These results are not surprising as interactions of CD47/IAP and integrins are through a cis mechanism whereby adjacent molecules in the cell membrane of an individual cell may interact.
One mechanism whereby adjacent genes that function in the same biochemical pathway could arise is through a gene duplication event followed by subsequent divergence of one of the duplicates.
