Springer International Publishing
, 2019 , Other)
Since its foundation in 2018, Emergent Materials aimed to focus on evolving techniques/technologies for advanced materials in a wide variety of fields such as polymer science, composites, electronics, membranes, and ...
Do changes in ace-2 expression affect sars-cov-2 virulence and related complications: A closer look into membrane-bound and soluble forms
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
The SARS-CoV-2 virus utilizes angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE-2) for cell entry and infection. This enzyme has important functions in the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system to preserve cardiovascular function. In ...
Characterization of MXene as a Cancer Photothermal Agent Under Physiological Conditions
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
A growing interest has recently emerged in the use of nanomaterials in medical applications. Nanomaterials, such as MXene, have unique properties due to their 2D ultra-thin structure, which is potentially useful in cancer ...
Effect of Water-Pipe Smoking on the Normal Development of Zebrafish
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Background: Among all types of tobacco consumption,Water-Pipe Smoking (WPS) is the
most widely used in the Middle East and second-most in several other countries. The effect of WPS
on normal development is not yet fully ...
Soluble ACE2 and Angiotensin II levels Modulated in Hypertensive COVID-19 Patients treated with different Antihypertension Drugs
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Hypertension is a major risk factor and common comorbidity among severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Prominent antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin ...
Assessment of Human Fetal Left Heart Hemodynamics during Prenatal Development
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
The hemodynamic forces and wall shear stresses (WSS) play an important role during the fetal heart development. Abnormal levels of flow-driven shear stress can deteriorate the proper functioning of the cells responsible ...
Cilia proteins are biomarkers of altered flow in the vasculature
(
American Society for Clinical Investigation
, 2022 , Article)
Cilia, microtubule-based organelles that project from the apical luminal surface of endothelial cells (ECs), are widely regarded as low-flow sensors. Previous reports suggest that upon high shear stress, cilia on the EC ...
Evaluation of Metal-Organic Framework MIL-89 Nanoparticles Toxicity on Embryonic Zebrafish Development
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Metal-Organic Framework MIL-89 nanoparticles garnered remarkable attention for their widespread use in technological applications. However, the impact of these nanomaterials on human and environmental health is still ...
Design and Microinjection of Morpholino Antisense Oligonucleotides and mRNA into Zebrafish Embryos to Elucidate Specific Gene Function in Heart Development
(
MyJove Corporation
, 2022 , Article)
The morpholino oligomer-based knockdown system has been used to identify the function of various gene products through loss or reduced expression. Morpholinos (MOs) have the advantage in biological stability over DNA oligos ...
Zebrafish as a Model for Anticancer Nanomedicine Studies.
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Nanomedicine is a new approach to fight against cancer by the development of anticancer nanoparticles (NPs) that are of high sensitivity, specificity, and targeting ability to detect cancer cells, such as the ability of ...
