However, although these models are currently the best method available ([Bouman and Tuong, 2001]), they still rely on imperfect mechanistic processes and weak assumptions.

The prospect of vanadium's involvement in redox-active ROS-RNS associated apoptotic processes, interactions with miRNA, autophagy, anoikis mechanistic processes and cell differentiation capacities, individually and/or collectively contributing to the demise of cancer cells, denotes the potential of that metal ion as a future anticancer metallodrug.

This approach is also known as mechanistic modeling because it describes known biological or mechanistic processes and is motivated by the observation that different molecular features can have different patterns of molecular evolution [ 20, 21, 36- 43].

Further, although it may be tempting to extrapolate from in vitro results to an in vivo risk assessment, it is important to keep in mind that in vitro tests are most useful in providing information on mechanistic processes and in elucidating mechanisms/mode of actions suggested by studies in whole animals.

A proxy system model may be defined as the complete set of forward and mechanistic processes by which the response of a sensor to environmental forcing is recorded and subsequently observed in a material archive.

Computer simulations of individual-based models have been used to study the complex biophysical and mechanistic processes at the individual cell level, but such simulations can be challenging to parameterize and analyze.

The underlying mechanistic processes may be manifold and include, among others, neofunctionalization (Boucher et al. 2014) and subfunctionalization (Chain and Evans 2006), for example, due to newly attained biochemical functions (Ganfornina and Sánchez 1999), or new genomic (Abascal et al. 2013) or cellular (Soskine and Tawfik 2010) environments.
