The phrase "altering cell surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or medical contexts, particularly when discussing changes to the outer layer of cells, such as in biology or biochemistry.
Example: "The research focused on altering cell surface properties to enhance drug delivery systems."
Alternatives: "modifying cell membrane" or "changing cell exterior".
In particular, both infection efficiency and development of exo-erythrocytic forms (EEFs) can be perturbed by altering cell surface oxygen concentrations.
Our results further underscore the possibility for the development of modulators that influence channel function by altering cell surface expression densities rather than by direct action on channel biophysical parameters.
Studies on solid tumors such as breast cancer, or on tumor infiltrating immune cells, are also possible if appropriate processing techniques are used to generate single-cell suspensions without altering cell surface receptor expression.
Instead, Ecs deficiency was found to alter cell surface.
For the present study, we further examined whether PSD-95 could alter cell surface levels of ApoEr2 in primary hippocampal neurons.
In particular, we hypothesized that deletion of the F. graminearum barA homologue BAR1 would alter cell surface organization and hence disturb plant infection.
The ability of surfactants to promote bacterial motility and alter cell surface charge [50], [51] could also help to release bacteria from biofilms.
In the absence of Ecs, significant changes occur in the cell wall, as evidenced by increased autolysis and sensitivity to lysostaphin, altered cell surface texture as well as decreased levels of cell wall proteins.
To determine whether the GLUT4-translocating activity of serum was due to the presence of factors that have previously been shown to alter cell surface GLUT4 levels or glucose transport under certain conditions, we tested platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF; [33]), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1; [34]), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF; [35]) in our cell system (Figure S3).
C16 ceramide treatment did not alter cell surface Fas protein level.
WapE appears to alter cell surface and biofilm formation [ 18, 24].
