PRMT5-PTEN molecular pathway regulates senescence and self-renewal of primary glioblastoma neurosphere cells
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Glioblastoma (GBM) represents the most common and aggressive histologic subtype among malignant astrocytoma and is associated with poor outcomes because of heterogeneous tumour cell population including mature non-stem-like ...
Flavin Oxidase-Induced ROS Generation Modulates PKC Biphasic Effect of Resveratrol on Endothelial Cell Survival.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Dietary intake of natural antioxidants is thought to impart protection against oxidative-associated cardiovascular diseases. Despite many in vivo studies and clinical trials, this issue has not been conclusively resolved. ...
Short-term herbivory has long-term consequences in warmed and ambient high Arctic tundra
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
Climate change is occurring across the world, with effects varying by ecosystem and region but already occurring quickly in high-latitude and high-altitude regions. Biotic interactions are important in determining ecosystem ...
Database Facilitated Screening with NMR Spectroscopy Analysis for Drug Detection
(
IEEE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
© 2019 IEEE. Drug detection plays the key role in the enforcement of drug regulations. Various detection methods for them are thus developed. However, in most investigations, the most time-consuming and tedious part is not ...
Correlations between socioeconomic drivers and indicators of urban expansion: Evidence from the heavily urbanised Shanghai metropolitan area, China
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Rapid urban expansion resulting in increased impervious surfaces causes a series of urban environmental problems, e.g., the urban heat island and urban forest fragmentation. Urban expansion is a serious threat to human ...
The assessment of cadmium, chromium, copper, and nickel tolerance and bioaccumulation by shrub plant Tetraena qataranse
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
Heavy metals constitute some of the most significant environmental contaminants today. The abundance of naturally growing Tetraena qataranse around Ras Laffan oil and gas facilities in the state of Qatar reflects its ...
High-performance removal of toxic phenol by single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes: Kinetics, adsorption, mechanism and optimization studies
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The adsorption capabilities of two nano-sized adsorbents: multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated for the removal of toxic phenol. The maximum adsorption capacities ...
Identification and overcome of limitations of weathered oil hydrocarbons bioremediation by an adapted Bacillus sorensis strain
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
Because of the high production of oil and gas in Qatar, the likelihood of oil spill occurrence is most probably susceptible to happen. Contaminated soil treatment is very expensive. Cost effective mechanisms are investigated ...
Bone benefits of fish oil supplementation depend on its EPA and DHA content
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The preventive effect of high-dose (9%) regular-fish oil (FO) against bone loss during aging has been demonstrated, but the effects of a low-dose (1%–4%) of a highly purified concentrated FO (CFO) has not been elucidated. ...
Characterization and utilization of fly ash of heavy fuel oil generated in power stations
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Unlike coal fly ash, fly ash of heavy fuel oil has received much less attention in the literature. In this work, detailed physicochemical characterization of heavy fuel oil fly ash (FA) is provided. The ash has a carbonaceous ...
