The phrase "augments the sensitivity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to express that something increases or enhances the sensitivity of a system, process, or individual.
Example: "The new software update augments the sensitivity of the sensors, allowing for more accurate readings."
Alternatives: "enhances the sensitivity" or "increases the sensitivity."
Our results suggest that although improved design augments the sensitivity of event-related designs, these benefits are not sufficient to overcome the sensitivity advantages of traditional blocked designs.
In addition, T cell produced TNF augments the sensitivity of SCs to cPTH by upregulating their expression of CD40 (Fig. 7).
In addition, we demonstrate the mechanism by which ADI augments the sensitivity of ASS-deficient pancreatic cancer cells to GEM treatment.
Furthermore, 24 h of ZOL pretreatment significantly augmented the sensitivity of doxorubicin (DOX), PAC or GEM against osteosarcoma cells.
We also developed quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) assays using the LightCycler System (Idaho Technology Inc., Idaho Falls, ID) to augment the sensitivity of detection (9 ).
TNF increases osteoclast formation and bone resorption both directly and by augmenting the sensitivity of maturing osteoclasts to the essential osteoclastogenic factor RANKL (the RANK ligand).
The use of various bDNA molecules to build the scaffold results in a large amplification of the signal from a single mRNA molecule, thus greatly augmenting the sensitivity of the assay.
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].
We asked if Mn-SOD is a potential target to augment the sensitivity of cancer cells to various anti-cancer treatments and for this we established stable Mn-SOD antisense RNA expressing cell clones from two human colon cancer cell lines, HCT116 (p53 wild-type) and DLD1 (p53 mutant-type).
Our data here show here that acquisition of tamoxifen resistance results in the overexpression of CD44 which augments the cells' sensitivity to ligands commonly found within the tumour microenvironment.
