The phrase "assess activation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are evaluating or measuring the activation or engagement of a particular process, system, or response.
Example: "In this study, we aim to assess activation of the neural pathways involved in memory recall."
Alternatives: "evaluate the activation of" or "measure the activation of".
A specific caspase-inhibitor CaspACE FITC VAD FMK In Situ Marker (Promega, Mannheim, Germany) was used to assess activation of Caspase-like cysteine protease activity in the parasite, following manufacturer's instructions.
A strategy widely used to assess activation of memory networks is the semantic priming procedure (Neely, 1991).
Thus, to completely assess activation of a cell signaling molecule, both total and phosphorylated levels of proteins in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway were examined by western blotting.
The rmNinj11 50 was also introduced to MLE-12 cells in order to assess activation of AECs, which would produce pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cytokines.
Scintigraphy using 99mTc-3PRGD2 targetintegringrin αvβ3 could assess activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).
To assess activation of muscles of hip adduction using EMG and force analysis during standard clinical tests, and compare athletes with and without a prior history of groin pain.
To identify the key functional pathways downstream of activated JAK2, we assessed activation of Stat1, 3, and 5, Pi3k/Akt, and Mek/Erk in the presence and absence of TG101209.
To confirm apoptosis, we assessed activation of cellular caspase 3 using FITC-conjugated active caspase 3 antibody, followed by FACS analysis.
To further examine processes involved in the effects of AMPH, we also incorporated a task that assessed activation of gambling-related memory networks or semantic domains.
In order to determine whether PM014 is capable of exerting anti-fibrotic effects on fibroblast cells, we assessed activation of p38 MAPK as well as Smad2 and Smad3 in lung fibroblasts from healthy donor and IPF patients (Fig. S5).
We injected insulin into fasted mice and assessed activation of the insulin signaling pathway by Western blot (Fig. 4).
