The phrase "augmenting the uptake of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to express the idea of increasing or enhancing the acceptance or adoption of something, such as a product, idea, or behavior.
Example: "The new marketing strategy is focused on augmenting the uptake of our latest software among small businesses."
Alternatives: "increasing the adoption of" or "boosting the acceptance of".
Hyperglycemia does not augment the glucose uptake of cardiac fibroblasts in vitro.
Continued improvements in cryopreservation techniques, which improve pregnancy rates using supernumerary frozen embryos, are expected to augment the global uptake of SET.
Triggering of growth factor receptors or of the co-stimulatory molecule CD28 in conjunction with the T cell receptor promotes glucose uptake by augmenting the expression of cell surface glucose transporter 1 (Glut1) in a PKB-dependent manner [ 1, 4].
It has been shown that HGF is highly expressed in adipose tissue where it exerts insulin-like effects and stimulates glucose uptake by augmenting the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase dependent protein kinase B (4).
We have shown that the plant extracts Aegle marmelos and Syzygium cumini stimulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle by augmenting the activity of the regulatory molecules; phosphatidyl inositol-3-kinase (PI3K), AMPK and GLUT-4 (Anandharajan et al. 2006).
While our hypothesis focuses on modulating the turbinate lymphatic vasculature in order to influence CSF absorption, other pathways may play a role in augmenting CSF outflow with the most obvious being the uptake of drug into the blood vasculature.
The intention of this modification is primarily to utilize the overexpression of glucose transporters (GLUT) in tumour cells for increased cellular uptake of the cytotoxic agents into cancer cells [93], thereby augmenting the efficacy of this alkylating drug candidate.
For example, augmenting the function of the astrocyte glutamate transporter EAAT2 with parawexin 1, a molecule isolated from spider venom, protects retinal neurons from ischemic degeneration by enhancing glutamate uptake and reducing excitotoxicity [ 70].
Possible mechanisms include augmented oligodendrocytic expression of α-synuclein in the disease state, or the uptake of α-synuclein that has been released from neurons10.
In addition, we verified that the uptake of radioactive signal by WT peritoneal macrophages have progressively augmented, whereas the uptake by Gal-3−/− macrophages was permanently lower (Fig. 8).
