The phrase "a decreasing propensity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a diminishing tendency or likelihood of a particular behavior or occurrence over time.
Example: "There is a decreasing propensity for people to engage in face-to-face communication in the digital age."
Alternatives: "a declining tendency" or "a waning inclination".
Closer to home, Dr. Hansen is collaborating with engineers and industry to develop a central venous catheter with a decreased propensity for infection or clot formation.
However, at higher filler contents a decreased propensity for crystallization was noted, which again indicated network formation.
The C48A and C139A mutants of hPNMT, which are incapable of forming the disulfide bond observed in the crystal structure, have a decreased propensity to form dimer in solution.
The regioisomeric 2- and 3-ketopyrrolidines demonstrated high levels of potency against all three monoamine transporters as well as good human in vitro stability, low drug drug interaction potential and a decreased propensity for hERG channel binding.
iPSCs derived from mouse neural progenitors, for example, contained methylomic signatures at loci important for hematopoietic differentiation, resulting in a decreased propensity for differentiating into hematopoietic cell types.
Interestingly, the antimony-resistant phenotype of field isolates was reported to be accompanied by a decreased propensity to undergo apoptosis following exposure to either SbIII, MF or AMB.
Novel pre-clinical assays have shown that LVs have a decreased propensity to integrate near the regulatory elements of actively transcribed genes thereby significantly reducing the probability of insertional mutagenesis.
Obviously, alterations in these pathways do not lead to high-level cross-resistance (Table 1) but can contribute to a decreased propensity to undergo apoptosis, thereby favouring the emergence of more specific resistance mechanisms.
