The phrase "confer properties" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It means to grant or give certain qualities or characteristics to something or someone. Example: The new technology has been designed to confer many advanced properties, including increased speed and improved efficiency.
Second, it represses SSTF genes expressed in dorsal commissural interneurons and thereby prevents the establishment of network states that confer properties of relay interneurons.
These "resting" microglia in both the brain and the retina have been observed to exhibit a remarkable motility in their processes that is thought to confer properties central to CNS housekeeping functions [1], [2], [3].
Thus, Lbx1 activates SSTF genes expressed in the nascent dorsal association interneurons and thereby promotes the establishment of network states that eventually confer properties of association, or pain-gating, interneurons.
Collectively, these observations raise the possibility that dysregulation of MUC4 in patient tumors can confer properties to tumor cells that promote tumor progression.
These differences suggest that removing liver cells from their in vivo environment may confer properties of plasticity not representative of in vivo biology.
Nitta et al. noted that both fruit flies and humans have transcription factors that recognize a few unique motifs, and confer properties that are specific to each species.
The deposition of ethylene glycol plasma polymer-coated nanoparticles confers properties to the surface making it more biocompatible, which is beneficial in applications of SS316L as a blood-contacting implant (e.g. vascular stents, heart valves).
Due to its more stable and diffusible nature, hydrogen peroxide acts as a second messenger because of its reactions with specific oxidation-prone protein cysteinyl residues [45], which confers properties to hydrogen peroxide as a mitochondrial signaling molecule [4].
Another explanation could be the possible emergence, with time, of cell mutations conferring properties of resistance to the drug.
A wide range of further transfection and mutagenesis experiments introducing or ablating different claudins has been performed to date, and been partially helpful to elucidate the conductance conferring properties of the resulting pores (Matter and Balda 2003b).
Once having undergone EMT, tumour cells are able to invade and migrate to distant sites where they may establish metastases – by definition, conferring properties of malignancy on these cells.
