Opposing calcium-dependent signalling pathways control skeletal muscle differentiation by regulating a chromatin remodelling enzyme
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Calcium signalling is important for differentiation-dependent gene expression, but is also involved in other cellular functions. Therefore, mechanisms must exist to distinguish calcium signalling relevant to differentiation. ...
Outlier robust nonlinear mixed model estimation
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In standard analyses of data well-modeled by a nonlinear mixed model, an aberrant observation, either within a cluster, or an entire cluster itself, can greatly distort parameter estimates and subsequent standard errors. ...
Selective inhibition of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 blocks initiation and maintenance of B-cell transformation
(
American Society of Hematology
, 2015 , Article)
Epigenetic events that are essential drivers of lymphocyte transformation remain incompletely characterized. We used models of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–induced B-cell transformation to document the relevance of protein ...
On the origins of antiferromagnetic order in a frustrated spin system at high pressure
(
National Academy of Sciences
, 2015 , Article)
In this letter, I would like to complement the discussion on the antiferromagnetic (AFM) order in the model-frustrated quantum magnet SrCu2(BO3)2 at high pressure.
A comparison of physiological and transcriptome responses to water deprivation and salt loading in the rat supraoptic nucleus
(
American Physiological Society
, 2015 , Article)
Salt loading (SL) and water deprivation (WD) are experimental challenges that are often used to study the osmotic circuitry of the brain. Central to this circuit is the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus, which ...
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
Hypoxia in the central Arabian Gulf Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during summer season
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract One of the most fascinating and unexpected discoveries during the Qatar University Marine Expeditions to the marine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in 2000–2001, was the detection of a hypoxic water layer ...
Listening to music during warming-up counteracts the negative effects of ramadan observance on short-term maximal performance
(
Public Library of Science
, 2015 , Article)
Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine whether listening to music during warming-up might influence short-term maximal performance (STMP), cognitive anxiety, self-confidence, and enjoyment during Ramadan, and ...
Ginsenoside Rb1 inhibits fibrillation and toxicity of alpha-synuclein and disaggregates preformed fibrils
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Compelling evidence indicates that α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. Identification of compounds that inhibit or reverse the ...
Measurement and modelling of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions: a marker for traffic-related air pollution in Doha, Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
In the State of Qatar, recent statistics show a continued increase in the motor-vehicle fleet commensurate with population growth and economic development. This trend, together with the rapid expansion of urban areas and ...
