The phrase "assays focus on" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the specific areas or topics that assays are designed to examine or analyze.
Example: "The research paper indicates that the assays focus on the detection of specific biomarkers in the samples."
Alternatives: "assays concentrate on" or "assays target".
While CFU assays focus on the myeloid lineage of hematopoietic cells and do not allow to reflect different physiological conditions, the system described here allows investigating the entire population of CD34+ cells and their descendants as well as mimicking a more static and activated state.
Microscopic assays focus on only a readily-observed subset of cells within a starved organism, however, and studies rarely attempt to compare the effects of autophagy across multiple tissues in response to nutrient limitation.
As noted in the study above, the main source of marine indole alkaloids are sponges, whilst pharmacological assays focus on activity toward parasites from the genus Plasmodium and Trypanosoma.
Thus the two assays focus on different aspects of the adaptive radiation that are not necessarily directly correlated, for example, a mutant can be superior in initial attachment, but grow slowly at the air liquid interface.
Most anti-CCP2 assays focus on quantitative measurements of autoantibody levels in the high (positive) range, when run according to the manufacturer's instructions, and do not always deliver quantitative results below the company-defined cut-off.
We have added the following sentence to the section where the fitness assays are described: "Thus the two assays focus on different aspects of the adaptive radiation that are not necessarily directly correlated, for example a mutant can be superior in initial attachment, but grow slowly at the air-liquid interface.
Further, using selective pharmacological inhibition assays, focused on the PI3K/mTOR/AKT signaling axis, we validate whether there is a causal relationship to electrotaxis and these mechanisms of action.
This is a collection of multiplexed gene expression assays focused on Phase I and II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and transporters.
In contrast, the reagents and conditions defined in this study provide a firm foundation for the future development of screening assays focused on changes brought about by protein-protein interactions.
While these assays focused on the embryonic salivary gland, qualitatively similar observations were made in other tubular organs.
Chronic toxicity assays focused on the more common dosage with high probability of occurrence in clinical practice.
