Heavy Metals Hyperaccumulation and the Role of Stress-Induced Proteins in Phytoremediation Mechanism in Selected Qatari Plants
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Dissertation)
Progressive pollution of the environment by trace and heavy metals pose a significant risk and causes diverse human diseases. Current world initiatives to remove these toxic substances from the environment are costly and ...
The Novel Role of BRIP1 in Breast Tumor Development and Progression
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Dissertation)
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy and the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Only 5-10% of mutations in the BRCA genes are attributed to familial breast tumors in Eastern countries, suggesting the ...
Uncovering the Epigenetic Contribution of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) during Zebrafish Cardiomyogenesis
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Dissertation)
The heart develops through an extremely intricate process mediated by a network
of transcription factors initiated by key chromatin modification events. Scientist have
implicated the protein arginine methyltransferase ...
Development of a Novel Polymer-Modified Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites for Controlling Calcium Sulfate Scaling and Biofouling on Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Mechanistic Study
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Dissertation)
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a promising environment friendly desalination
technology for clean water production. However, the performance of RO is getting
affected by the mineral scaling and biofouling. During this research, ...
Role of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in WNT/β--CATENIN proliferative signaling in breast cancer
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Dissertation)
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) activity is dysregulated in many aggressive
cancers and its enhanced levels are associated with increased tumor growth and survival.
In this study, we show that PRMT5 is ...
