The phrase "activates factors" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where something triggers or initiates certain elements or conditions, often in scientific or technical discussions.
Example: "The new software update activates factors that enhance system performance."
Alternatives: "triggers elements" or "initiates components".
TF complexes with factors VII and VIIa and activates factors IX and X, and these activated factors contribute to the generation of thrombin on cell surfaces [ 2].
It was recently reported that resolvin E1, a novel lipid mediator generated from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), activates factors that reduce inflammation.
After reaching some threshold, cargo recruits and/or activates factors to initiate ESCRT-III assembly.
During parasite recognition through TLR4 pathway, the adapter molecule MyD88 is recruited and activates factors such as NF- κB [ 67, 68], leading to transcription of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF, IL-6, and IL-23.
Another example is represented by the mitochondria retrograde signalling pathway, in which mitochondrial dysfunction activates factors such as NFκB, NFAT, and ATF, through altered Ca2+ dynamics (Butow and Avadhani, 2004).
HIF1α is a transcription factor that normally accumulates under hypoxic conditions and then activates factors involved in angiogenesis and cell survival [ 127], including the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor families (Fig. 2).
Thrombin plays a central role in thrombogenesis: it activates platelets, converts fibrinogen to fibrin, and activates factor XIII, which then crosslinks and stabilizes the fibrin clot.
In this process, factor 5 (FV) is cleaved and activates factor Va (FVa).
TF binds and activates factor VII.
Activated factor X (factor Xa) activates factor VII in complex VII-TF (inactive extrinsic tenase), thus forming a positive feedback.
Extrinsic tenase activates factor X, which activates thrombin, the main protein of blood coagulation.
