0 the ability or tendency of a living organism, cell, or group to keep the conditions inside it the same despite any changes in the conditions around it, or this state of internal balance: --
Warm-blooded animals are able to achieve temperature homeostasis.

Together these findings provide insights into how activation of microglia alters glutamate homeostasis, which results in oligodendrocyte excitotoxicity.
The homeostasis model's stress on the complex interplay between individual (or host) factors and environmental influences is particularly useful.
But the homeostasis process in the plasma makes the total energy loss almost unchanged.
Transplantation of pancreatic islets is arguably the most logical approach to restoring metabolic homeostasis in people with diabetes.
This work describes novel roles for mast cells in nerve homeostasis and pathology.
In older patients with disturbed fluid balance homeostasis, this can be problematic as, often, intravascular volume is low.
These functional changes lead to a progressive loss of the organism's ability to withstand both internal and environmental stresses, causing the failure of cellular homeostasis.
Under normal situations there is a balance between these two systems placing the body in a state of homeostasis.
