The phrase "augment sensitivity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to express the idea of increasing or enhancing sensitivity, such as in discussions about technology, psychology, or biology.
Example: "The new software update aims to augment sensitivity to user feedback, allowing for a more personalized experience."
Alternatives: "enhance sensitivity" or "increase sensitivity."
We uncovered three distinct states of insulin sensitivity – a typical response in spring, augmented sensitivity in autumn, and resistance during hibernation [ 46].
Deficiency in p38α in IECs augmented sensitivity to colitis-associated colon cancer due to enhanced infiltration of inflammatory cells and increased apoptosis of IECs followed by compensatory hyperproliferation.
We predict that the loss of EZH2 silencing on SEMA3A augments sensitivity to both chemo- and radiotherapy, and thus may contribute to therapy-related AML pathogenesis.
Oxytocin (OXT) acts through its specific receptor (OXTR) and increased density of OXTR and/or augmented sensitivity to OXT were postulated as prerequisites of normal onset of labor.
Increased density of OXTR and/or augmented sensitivity to OXT were postulated as prerequisites of effective parturition with normal induction of uterine contractions [ 22, 25].
The taxotere sensitivity in HAG/src3-1 cells was reversed, if not completely, by herbimycin A, a specific inhibitor of Src family protein tyrosine kinase, indicating that Src protein tyrosine kinase augments sensitivity to taxotere.
Residual oil fly ash, a combustion PM rich in bioavailable metal, was evaluated in a rat model of cardiopulmonary disease (pulmonary vasculitis/hypertension) to ascertain whether the disease state augmented sensitivity to that PM.
While probabilistic extensions to sequence alignment, such as profiles and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), can capture position-specific variation in multiple alignments, and typically demonstrate significantly augmented sensitivity, all alignment methods remain prone to similar limitations.
Furthermore, in agreement with previous data (Wang et al, 2003; Voboril et al, 2004), inhibition of NF- κB also augmented sensitivity of HT-29 tumour cells to 5-FU, the most common antimetabolite used for the treatment of CRC and other types of solid tumours.
Over expression of miR-181a in mature mouse T cells can augment the sensitivity to peptide antigens, while suppressing miR-181a expression can reduce sensitivity and impair both positive and negative selection [ 13].
