The phrase 'alter the pathways' is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to indicate that something is changing the course that something else takes. For example, "The new technology will alter the pathways people take to find information."
Thus, early life dietary exposures may modify later breast cancer risk through epigenetic changes that alter the pathways that participate in regulating mammary gland development.
On the other hand, the cumulative effects of genetic lesions involved in cancer progression could alter the pathways of the hypoxic response and therefore could affect the CAIX plasma level (Rak et al, 2002).
Since we did not observe significant differences in mRNA levels for these ligands between the three cell lines, we concluded that the presence of HER2 or HER3 in the HMEC did not significantly alter the pathways that regulate AREG and TGF-α expression upon activation of HER1.
In addition, and even more striking, is that the alterations observed (e.g. deletions versus amplifications) often alter the pathway output in the same direction, either all increasing or all decreasing the pathway activation.
These interventions need to dive into the heart of the process of technological development: more than the basic tick-box compliance, but tools that can actually alter the pathway of the technologies being assessed.
This demonstrates precisely how off-path reactions may alter the pathway enrichment structure.
Caregivers' narratives of their children's disease are marked by a recurrence of unexpected clinical events that alter the pathway of the disease.
Blocking fangchinoline-induced autophagy process would alter the pathway of cell death leading to apoptosis; thus cell death was an irreversible process induced by fangchinoline [ 34].
By altering the pathways leading to these UDP-sugars we would expect different cell wall composition [ 3, 5, 20].
This indicates that the Cit3− additives have significantly modified the hydrolysis behaviors of Zn2+ and Ga3+ and altered the pathway of hydrothermal reaction, though the exact mechanism yet needs clarification.
While SARM-1 regulated the least number of functional and canonical pathway genes, the highly androgenic DHT altered the pathway genes remarkably.
