      Marei, Hany El Sayed; El-Gamal, Aya; Althani, Asma; Afifi, Nahla; Abd-Elmaksoud, Ahmed; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2018 , Article)
      Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types such as cartilage, bone, and fat cells. Recent studies have shown that induction of MSCs in vitro by growth factors including ...
    • Impact of Obesity-Related Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress on Cancer and Associated Molecular Targets 

      AlBashtawi, Joud; Al-Jaber, Hend; Ahmed, Sara; Al-Mansoori, Layla ( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2024 , Article Review)
      Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat, is closely linked to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Inflammatory pathways like c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) worsen insulin ...
