The phrase "diminished viability" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is commonly used in discussions related to biology and genetics, but can also be used in a general sense to describe something that has decreased in its ability to thrive or survive. Example: The endangered species' diminished viability has resulted in a decline in their population numbers.
Similar to U2OS, only 48 compounds diminished viability at ≥20 μM.
We also verified that miR-125b-ASO transfection significantly diminished viability of the cells treated with cisplatin plus oltipraz compared with Con-ASO transfection.
Seventy-two hours later diminished viability and enhanced apoptosis occurred in cells upon single treatment while combination treatment was more effective.
Studies using organochlorines, which are found in the diet of Inuit tribes from the Arctic (Dewailly et al. 1993), have demonstrated decreased motility and diminished viability of sperm within 2 hr of exposure.
Interestingly, we noted that, with the exception of SAOS cells, the cell lines that received Dkk-1 blocking RNAi had diminished viability and overall cell recovery when compared with cultures that received scrambled RNAi (Supplementary Figure S3a).
And when lead-exposed erythrocytes were co-cultured with unexposed HK-2 cells, the HK-2 cells not only phagocytized the erythrocytes, but also showed increased production of reactive oxygen species, diminished viability, and greater expression of genes associated with kidney damage.
Arabs blame Israel — as the occupying power — for the diminishing viability of a two-state solution, even while Mr. Sobeih said he would never, under any circumstances, accept Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
More specifically, the cytotoxicity studies show that exposure to increasing concentrations of anionic MNPs, from 0.15 to 15 mM of iron, results in a dose-dependent diminishing viability and capacity of PC12 cells to extend neurites in response to nerve growth factor [21].
The work of Pisanic et al. (2007) showed that the intracellular delivery of 0.15 15 mm of iron oxide (( {text{Fe}}_{2} {text{O}}_{3} )) NPs may adversely affect cell function and results in a dose-dependent diminishing viability and capacity of PC12 cells (rat pheochromocytoma cell line) to differentiate, in response to nerve growth factor.
Our study showed that earlier washout of high level of stressor prevented further drop in cell viability while late washout diminished the viability further similar to continuous treatment with excessive level of ER stressor.
For example, a dose of 10 μ after 48 h incubation, on B16-F10 melanoma cells diminished their viability to ∼80% (Senff-Ribeiro et al, 2003, 2004) and in all the four human melanoma cell lines the viability was lower than 30% under these conditions.
