Example sentences for: modulators

How can you use “modulators” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Delivery of intracellular modulators for therapeutic angiogenesis, including transcription factors that control angiogenesis such as hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), is only possible through gene therapy.

  • In our system, the biological effects of Hox genes in chondrocytes can be modulated by external factors, and this finding points to the importance of gene-environment interactions as modulators of Hox gene function.

  • Small-molecule modulators of growth-factor pathways have proven valuable in providing enhanced understanding of the intracellular events that occur subsequent to receptor activation, and in establishing the biological functions of these pathways [ 6 7 8 ] . In Hh signaling, multiple insights have been gained through the use of the plant-derived Hh antagonist cyclopamine [ 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ] and a recently identified synthetic small-molecule Hh-signaling inhibitor, Cur61414 [ 17 ] . Interestingly, these specific inhibitors of Hh signaling appear to function downstream of Ptc but their precise molecular target(s) and mechanism of action are unknown.

  • Furthermore, this supports the data showing that the agonist can activate signaling in Shh -/-embryos (Figure 3) and suggests that the agonist function is not only downstream of the Hh protein but also independent of the endogenous Hh-signaling modulators, Tout veloux and HIP, that act via the Hh ligand [ 2 ] . The competition experiment with forskolin showed identical inhibition curves for Hh protein and the agonist, strongly suggesting that the action of the small molecule is upstream of the protein-kinase-A-sensitive step in the pathway.

  • Masking techniques refer to photorefractive procedures utilizing various masking means or so called modulators to protect flatter corneal areas while steeper areas are excised with the excimer laser.
