The phrase "alterations in cellular processes" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing changes or modifications that occur within the functions or activities of cells, often in a scientific or medical context.
Example: "The study focused on the alterations in cellular processes that occur during the aging process."
Alternatives: "changes in cellular functions" or "modifications in cellular activities."
To further investigate the biological significance of target protein modification, this study was designed to determine the impact of furan on the activity of key target enzymes involved in glycolysis, β-oxidation, ATP synthesis, and redox regulation in rat liver, and to link these functional changes to alterations in cellular processes.
Proteomic signatures from cells expressing the NPM ALK fusion show alterations in cellular processes including proliferation, ribosome synthesis, survival, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and cyto-architectural organization.
In their review "The Hallmarks of Cancer", Hanahan and Weinberg [1] defined six alterations in cellular processes that are required to turn a normal cell into a cancer cell: response to growth and antigrowth signals, prevention of apoptosis and senescence, induction of angiogenesis, and the ability to colonize other body parts.
This approach has been referred to as a gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and allows large lists of transcriptional alterations to be distilled down into changes in cellular processes such as the immune response, DNA repair, apoptosis, etc.
The functional consequences of breast cancers harboring alterations in both HER2 and the PI3K pathway are most likely to provide a selective advantage in cellular processes that include cell growth and survival.
Rab family GTPases play critical roles in intracellular membrane trafficking and it is clear that alterations in these cellular processes contribute to impaired neuronal trafficking in HD, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases.
By far, the major risk factor for AD is old age (Herrup, 2010), and age-related decreases in cognitive function in both non-AD and AD subjects involve alterations in multiple cellular processes.
It is possible that alterations in basal cellular processes may play an important role in the development of cancer or modulate the risk of cancer.
GADD45A revealed a weak staining in all tissues with a score of 1. PTPN14 is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family, which is increased in many tumours, indicating that a complex dysregulation in the balance of tyrosine phosphorylation could be responsible for major alterations in various cellular processes (Freiss and Vignon, 2004).
Many human diseases result from alterations in multiple cellular processes.
Although lung has excellent antioxidative system, in the presence of excessive ROS the cells become oxidatively stressed leading to loss of intracellular redox homeostasis, additional ROS production, alterations in cellular signaling and pathological processes [4], [5].
