Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, physicochemical and neurological study profile.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Clinically approved iron chelators are effective in decreasing significant transfusional iron accumulation. Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO), a novel high molecular weight iron chelator, was produced to increase binding capacity ...
“Safe” Chitosan Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite Has Minimal Organ-Specific Toxicity on Early Stages of Zebrafish Development
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Marine biofouling is considered one of the most challenging issues affecting maritime industries worldwide. In this regard, traditional biocides, being used to combat biofouling, have high toxicity toward the aquatic system. ...

Infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) could be asymptomatic or cause mild influenza-like illness. Therefore, the prevalence of MERS-CoV infections in the general population could be ...
Plasmonic MXene-based nanocomposites exhibiting photothermal therapeutic effects with lower acute toxicity than pure MXene
(
DOVE Medical Press
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: Here, we fabricated two plasmonic 2D Ti3C2Tx-based nanocomposites (Au/MXene and Au/Fe3O4/MXene) with similarly high anti-cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) capabilities, but with less in vivo toxicity than a pure ...

Curcumin, 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-hepta-diene-3,5-dione, is a natural product obtained from the rhizome of Curcuma longa. Curcumin has been demonstrated to be a strong antioxidant with anticancer properties ...
Natural History, with Clinical, Biochemical and Molecular Characterization, of Classical Homocystinuria in the Qatari Population
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Classical homocystinuria (HCU) is the most common inborn error of metabolism in Qatar, with an incidence of 1:1800, and is caused by the Qatari founder p.R336C mutation in the CBS gene. This study describes the natural ...
Negative epidemiological association between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Objectives: Existing evidence on an epidemiological association between herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and
type 2 infections remains conflicting and inconclusive. Using a multi-national database of HSV-1/2 serologica ...
Molecular Subtyping of Blastocystis from Diverse Animals in the United Arab Emirates.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The contribution of Blastocystis from non-human hosts to zoonotic transmission is only partly known. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of Blastocystis genetic subtypes in different animal species ...
Analysis of the Qatari R336C Cystathionine β-Synthase Protein in Mice.
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Classical homocystinuria is a recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) gene. The highest incidence of CBS deficiency in the world is found in the country of Qatar ...
