The phrase "and ability to sensitize" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing someone's capacity or skill to make someone or something more aware or responsive to certain stimuli or issues.
Example: "The training program focuses on developing the participants' awareness and ability to sensitize others to environmental concerns."
Alternatives: "and capacity to raise awareness" or "and skill to make sensitive".
Furthermore, we demonstrate the dependency of binaphthoquinone cytotoxicity on NDE1 and the ability to sensitize yeast to binaphthoquinones by overexpression of this enzyme.
The down-regulated Chk2 expression attenuated NPRL-2-induced apoptosis and its ability to sensitize the tumor cells' response to cisplatin.
To determine if both PZ-34 and PZ-38 have the ability to sensitize ABCG2-mediated drug resistance, we performed analyses of the effects of these compounds on survival of HEK293/ABCG2 cells in the absence or presence of mitoxantrone.
Forty-four drugs from the library demonstrated cell viabilities higher than 70% at a concentration of 20 μM and were screened for their ability to sensitize PC3-TR cells to TRAIL under these conditions.
Additional features of NFV and other protease inhibitors are the ability to sensitize cancer cells to chemoradiotherapy, anti-angiogenesis by decreasing VEGF/HIF expression, decreased expression of FAS (fatty acid synthase), the combination of radiation and PIs is well tolerated, NFV cancer cell killing ability can easily be enhanced with other ER stressors like celecoxib.
A key advantage of PEG-NRs and plasmonic nanomaterials more generally is the ability to "sensitize" tumor tissue to incident NIR light relative to surrounding tissues containing fewer PEG-NRs.
Using the BJ stepwise human cellular tumorigenesis model, we show that this process is highly selective, as (i) only senescent cell medium had the ability to sensitize to TRAIL and (ii) only pretransformed cells could be sensitized, while normal (BJ) or immortalized (BJEH) cells remained unresponsive.
Interestingly, several PPIs (omeprazole, ESOM and pantoprazole) raise lysosomal pH and decrease intracellular pH, a feature associated with their ability to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutics as well.
Glutamate is part of many pharmaceuticals due to its ability to sensitize the taste receptors and stimulate the brain activity.
The lack of difference in CyPPA-induced EDH in control compared to obese may be due to its ability to sensitize SKCa to calcium [42], and a potential differential ability of vascular cells in disease states to buffer intracellular calcium, as previously described in obese and hypertensive rat models [43], [44].
