nucleation
(Science: molecular biology) A general term used in polymerisation or assembly reactions where the first steps are energetically less favoured than the continuation of growth. Polymerisation is much faster if a pre formed seed is used to nucleate growth. (e.g. Microtubule growth is nucleated from the microtubule organising centre, although the nature of this nucleation is not known).
The human body is capable of regulating growth and energy balance through various feedback mechanisms. Get to know the e..
