The phrase "a sensitization of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing the process of making someone or something more aware or responsive to a particular issue or stimulus.
Example: "The workshop aimed at a sensitization of the participants regarding environmental sustainability."
Alternatives: "an awareness of" or "a heightened sensitivity to".
Maes, M., Ombelet, W., De Jongh, R., Kenis, G. & Bosmans, E. The inflammatory response following delivery is amplified in women who previously suffered from major depression, suggesting that major depression is accompanied by a sensitization of the inflammatory response system.
The acidification of the treatment medium from 7.0 to 4.5 caused a sensitization of C. jejuni to heat (δ value at 55 °C × 1/4); on the contrary, resistance to PEF was increased (δ value at 25 kV/cm × 2.5).
A common link in many of the theories of photalgia is a sensitization of the trigeminal nerve to bright light12,13,14,15, which has also been demonstrated in animal models16, although the mechanism by which the trigeminal nerve is sensitized to light remains unresolved.
Repeated cycles of ethanol intoxication and withdrawal lead to a sensitization of central nervous system hyperexcitability as a result of an imbalance between inhibitory GABAergic transmission and excitatory glutamatergic transmission.
A major contributing factor appears to be that, whereas for the binary PRF mixtures quite considerable extents of reaction can occur during the course of compression, which leads to a "sensitization" of the mixture in the postcompression period at higher temperature, not all of the single-component alkanes are similarly reactive.
Our data suggest a mechanism of enhanced anti-tumor activity of the FASN and taxane drug combination that includes inhibition of tubulin palmitoylation and disruption of microtubule organization in tumor cells, as well as a sensitization of tumor cells to FASN inhibition-mediated effects that include gene expression changes and inhibition of β-catenin.
In marked contrast with the polA1 mutation, which only produced a small sensitization of a uvrA strain, the (ΔpolA mutation produced a large sensitization, about the same magnitude as a recF mutation.
As shown in Fig. 3C, PZ-39 at 50 nM significantly reduced the IC50 of mitoxantrone with a sensitization index of 0.4 (Table 2).
At 50 nM, PZ-34 and PZ-38 significantly reduce the IC50 of mitoxantrone with a sensitization index of 1.6 and 2.2, respectively (Table 2).
Importantly, a behavioral sensitization of a similar magnitude was also observed in rats which acquired a strong preference for lever S under the S+/C+ condition [Day×Intervals: F(40,1680) = 6.57, P<0.01] (Fig. 3b).
Recently, several studies on the nociceptive blink reflex have shown a sensitization phenomenon of the trigeminal pathways in migraine patients during the attack [17 19].
