The phrase "a modest extent and" is not correct as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a sentence where you are discussing the degree or level of something, but it needs to be followed by additional information to make sense.
Example: "The changes were implemented to a modest extent and had a positive impact on the overall performance."
Alternatives: "to a limited degree" or "to a small extent".
By contrast, the dominant Gr-1+ MoDC could stimulate naïve CD4+ T cells, albeit to a modest extent, and CD8+ T cells minimally (Fig. 6A).
At the Pdx1 promoter of the B13 cells, Ad-PNM increased the proportion of H3K4Me3 to a modest extent and it did not change the level of H3K9Me2, H3K27Me3 or H3Ac.
This was further confirmed by ELISA on cell supernatants, which identified increased levels of secreted G-CSF in two of the cell lines, albeit to a modest extent, and by FACS analysis, which showed increased levels of cell-surface G-CSFR on the four cell lines identified by qRT PCR, but not SKOV, CAOV3, ES2 or PA1.
For instance, similar profiles were observed between the HEK293 line and the U2OS cell line (Wilcoxon sign rank, zval = −1.7466, P = 0.0807) to a modest extent and between the cervical HeLa line and the PC3 prostate line (Wilcoxon sign rank, zval = −1.5303, P = 0.1259).
A model which would better explain the results for both cell lines might also include the possibility that low pH per se potentiates cytotoxic damage to a modest extent and that it is offset or augmented by altered uptake in HT 29 and SiHa cells respectively.
Photoenolization reactions have been thoroughly reviewed by Sammes in the 1970s, recently by Klán et al., and, to a modest extent, in several other reviews and book chapters.
Results of the reactive transport simulations show that under the site-specific conditions the temporal variations in groundwater flow do, to a modest extent, affect average biodegradation rates and average total (dissolved) contaminant mass in the aquifer.
Although it has been previously shown in adults with AIDS related cryptosporidiosis that nitazoxanide can improve to a modest extent the clearance of the parasite and reduce the period of clinical symptoms [ 10], we saw no such effect here.
The upregulation of Bim by IL-4 was also observed on day 1 by intracellular staining (data not shown) and to a modest extent (increase of ∼20%) by western blotting.
Controlling for the other variables diminished the effect of education and wealth to only a modest extent.
More recently, more and more researchers tend to support a modest extent of self-assembly as the condition for the strongest molecular recognition.
