"reduce viability" is a valid and commonly used phrase in written English.
It means to decrease the likelihood of something being successful or able to survive. Example: The harsh living conditions in the desert greatly reduce the viability of growing crops in that area.
Fig. 2 Inhibition of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1) reduced the viability of ACC cell lines: Given that PLK-1 is a negative regulator of p53, inhibition of PLK-1 should reduce viability of the ACC cell lines.
Cytotoxicity of AgNPs on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line via MTT assay showed that AgNPs were able to reduce viability of the MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
We also determined whether inhibiting MDM2 with nutlin-3, an inhibitor of MDM2 would reduce viability of ACC cells, presumably as a result of the restoration of p53 functions.
Cellular studies demonstrated that these dietary polyphenols reduce viability of adipocytes and proliferation of preadipocytes, suppress adipocyte differentiation and triglyceride accumulation, stimulate lipolysis and fatty acid β-oxidation, and reduce inflammation.
Treatment with PYRRO-C3D (a representative C3D containing the diazeniumdiolate NO donor PYRRO-NO) was found to significantly reduce viability of planktonic and biofilm pneumococci, demonstrating that C3Ds can elicit direct, cephalosporin-like antibacterial activity in the absence of β-lactamases.
We next determined whether Mcl-1 knockdown alone could reduce viability of melanoma cells.
Hybrid individuals, which carry genes combined from the two gene pools, will therefore experience reduced viability or fertility.
However, MoS2-PEG-PEI exhibited slightly reduced viability mainly because it was positively charged.
Moreover, MCNs at similar concentrations reduced viability of J774A.1 macrophages and lung epithelial A549 cells.
As seen in Fig. 4, cisplatin treatment of Raji cells reduced viability by >50% at 24 h of induction.
The Ubx-YFP line has reduced viability; 31% of homozygotes survive to adulthood.
