It can be used when discussing a potential or theoretical connection between two or more concepts, variables, or phenomena.
Example: "The study aims to explore a hypothetical link between diet and mental health outcomes."
Alternatives: "a theoretical connection between" or "a conjectural relationship between".
Citing a few scientific articles, Nelson drew a hypothetical link between the fact that cigarette smoke contains radioactive particles and limited evidence that people exposed to radiation had higher rates of mesothelioma.
Interestingly, EPAS1 -/- mice show impaired reactive oxygen species homeostasis [ 62], which may be linked to the role of EPAS1 in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis [ 63], creating a hypothetical link between EPAS1 function and response to crocidolite.
Consequently, a hypothetical link between MS4A2 and AD would add new evidence in favor of the AD neuroinflammatory hypothesis, suggesting a role for the immune system in the pathogenesis of AD.
Diuk-Wasser is now collaborating with Fish on a study that tests the hypothetical link between biodiversity and human risk of Bb infection in new ways.
A potential mechanism for this hypothetical link between the osteogenic effects of strain and the Wnt pathway became evident with reports that sclerostin was a ligand for the Lrp5 receptor [11,12].
The present study aimed to verify the hypothetical link between the temperament traits of young adults and their attitudes towards the future.
These findings not only provide the first direct evidence for the effects of testosterone on punishment reward contingencies in humans, but they also give further insights into the hypothetical link between testosterone and psychopathy.
These findings support the hypothetical link between diminished GLDC function, reduced thymidylate biosynthesis and development of NTDs.
Actually, to focus on the biochemical reactions that more specifically support the hypothetical link between any two functions, functional links based on only one PPI are discarded (step 6 of the algorithm pseudocode).
Variants are related to genes implicated from the functional assays through a user-defined PPI network, such as STRING (Szklarczyk et al., 2011), which provides known and hypothetical links between proteins that are weighted by a confidence score.
