Sentence examples for modulate sensitivity to from inspiring English sources
Keratin intermediate filament expression in hES cells may modulate sensitivity to death receptor mediated apoptosis and stress.
The mechanism by which RTN proteins modulate sensitivity to apoptosis is also not entirely clear but is supposed to be based on the ability of RTN proteins to influence Bcl-xL/Bcl-2 subcellular localisation.
Inducible expression of these genes can over-ride antiestrogen-induced growth arrest [13] and overexpression can modulate sensitivity to clinically-relevant antiestrogens in in vitro models [reviewed in Ref. 12].
Our study shows that the eEF-2 kinase-mediated autophagy plays a cytoprotective role in breast cancer cells treated with growth factor inhibitors, and inhibiting autophagic survival can modulate sensitivity to these therapeutic agents.
Honeybees, in particular, would be afforded a substantial fitness advantage: both the floral odor signals and food rewards' quality and quantity are highly variable, so the ability to modulate sensitivity to specific features in floral odors in accordance with reward quality could improve a foraging worker's efficiency for obtaining floral rewards.
However, still little is known about the regulatory mechanisms that modulate sensitivity to TNF-induced necroptosis.
