Sentence examples for and thereby the extent from inspiring English sources

Fine-tuning each of these factors provides a possible mechanism for cells to regulate the PCD and thereby the extent a cell locally communicates.

The cartilage thickness could have also influenced the lubrication and thereby the extent of friction, through the generation of differential fluid pressures (i.e. a greater thickness has the potential to generate higher fluid pressure, thereby enhanced lubrication and a lower frictional coefficient).

Increased acetylation has a dramatic effect on the conformation of histones and thereby the extent of DNA supercoiling; this results in changes in the cellular gene expression profile, by modulating access of transcription factors to their DNA-binding sites (Momparler, 2003; Duan et al, 2005).

Moreover, it has been established that high insoluble glucan content in the EPS matrix acts as a diffusion barrier, trapping acid near the tooth surface and thereby increasing the extent of the acidification period [41], [42] and the cariogenicity of human plaque [43].

Tregs suppress the proliferation and cytokine response of effector T-cells and thereby control the extent of the immune response.

As noted above, 3dBCG was better than the parent BCG vaccine at inducing CD8+ T cell responses, which may be crucial for killing M. tuberculosis within macrophages in the lung and thereby limiting the extent of tissue-damaging granulomatous inflammation.

These phenomena would greatly affect the ability of saliva to reduce the adverse effects of acid production by S. mutans and other acidogenic bacteria, and thereby increase the extent of acidification within the dental plaque on the tooth surface.

Solvents with a hydrogen donor site competed with the drug for binding sites on crospovidone and thereby decreased the extent of drug adsorption.

It is possible that this relative protease susceptibility may make the agent less robust in field conditions and thereby reduce the extent to which it is transmissible by natural routes, and so limit the number of cases.
