But the possessive "Benedict's" can't fill that role grammatically, since it, too, functions as a modifier.
Therefore, these results suggest that the T/C allele of the 950 T/C polymorphism functions as a modifier of OPG expression and has some effect on metastasis and the spread of PCa cells.
The SWR.CAST-X congenic strain and SWR.CAST-X1 subline have supported our goal to fine-map the X-linked Gct4 locus that functions as a modifier for GC tumor initiation events.
For example, a clause may be rankshifted to function as a Modifier of a Head in a nominal group as in As a simple illustration, think of an intern [[who examines a patient in the emergency ward of a hospital]] (the rankshifted clause is marked by while the rankshifted group is marked by ) (see Matthiessen 1995: 99 100).
Thus, the hTERT-VNTR2-2nd locus may function as a modifier of prostate cancer risk by affecting gene expression.
Previous work had identified Fn1 gain of function as a modifier of lung branching morphogenesis, associated with gain of cell matrix adhesion relative to the reciprocal repression of E-cadherin cell cell adherence (Sakai et al, 2003).
The data suggested that sex chromosome complement underlies the differential sensitivity of male and female embryonic cells to some stressors, with the introduction of hormonal secretions functioning as a modifier of those differences [ 78].
In (3.11), very functions as a predicate modifier, in particular a subsective modifier, since the set of things that are very(P) is a subset of the things that are P. Do we need such modifiers in our logical forms?

10.7554/eLife.07369.005 Figure 2. Yoda1 functions as a gating modifier of Piezo1.
