The phrase "a more appropriate marker" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the suitability or relevance of a particular marker in a given context.
Example: "In this study, we found that a more appropriate marker for measuring success is the completion rate rather than the initial enrollment numbers."
Alternatives: "a better indicator" or "a more suitable sign".
Absolute density may be a more appropriate marker in studies where body fat mass is investigated, such as in dietary studies [ 46- 48].
Phosphorylation of mTOR by Akt at serine 2448 might not correlate with mTOR activation, therefore, pmTOR may not necessary be involved with the development of HRPC, and a more appropriate marker of mTOR activation could be S6Kinase (Ruggero and Sonenberg, 2005).
Some investigators now believe that chromosome 17 polysomy is a more appropriate predictive marker [ 27, 28].
It is now increasingly recognized that adult stem cells, in contrast to their embryonic counterparts, have little if any regenerative capacity and that their presumed beneficial effects more likely involve paracrine signaling, in which case infarct size, perfusion, or left ventricular volumes might be more appropriate markers.
We do not believe, however, that this reservation detracts from the intrinsic value of our observations and of the process, and indeed further experiments may result in more appropriate markers of "activation" which influence cellular migration to be defined.
The factors which govern net cellular migration into and out of organs in vivo are likely highly complex and variable, and as yet relatively poorly understood, and in time it may be possible to identify more appropriate markers to "screen" for possible effects of cellular isolation on these processes.
The Hoechst dye thus appears to be a more appropriate stem cell marker.
In retrospect, whilst a membrane-localised GFP marker provides a more appropriate reference point in principle for these comparisons, it presents complications when considering its particle composition.
To facilitate the analysis, and to allow a more appropriate comparison between the studies, we divided the non-invasive markers into four groups: serum markers; effusion markers, that is, pleural and peritoneal fluid markers; immunohistochemical markers used for cytological analysis of effusion samples; and genetic markers.
Moreover, the use of genetic markers would be a more appropriate choice in order to determine the angiogmyogenic fate of the transplanted cells.
If, in practice, breeding schemes wish to select upon GW-EBV that require frequent updating, then a more appropriate comparison is between frequently updated fBayesB estimates of marker effects and the use of 'old' MCMC based estimates of marker effects, where the GW-EBV of animals are calculated without updating the estimates of marker effects, because of computational constraints.
