Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2017 , Article)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by a disruption in the normal function of the brain due to an injury following a trauma, which can potentially cause severe physical, cognitive, and emotional impairment. The ...
Genetically unmatched human iPSC and ESC exhibit equivalent gene expression and neuronal differentiation potential.
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
The potential uniformity between differentiation and therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) remains debatable. We studied the gene expression profiles, ...
Synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial properties of novel double layer nanocomposite electrospun fibers for wound dressing applications
(
Dove Press
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, novel hybrid nanomaterials were developed for wound dressing applications with antimicrobial properties. Electrospinning was used to fabricate a double layer nanocomposite nanofibrous mat consisting of an upper ...
Molecular identification and characterization of Cryptosporidium spp. among pediatric and food-handlers subjects in Qatar
(
Frontiers Media
, 2017 , Article)
World Health Organization (WHO) has identified Cryptosporidium spp. as globally the most common diarrhea-causing protozoan. Its transmission occurs mainly through ingestion of water or food contaminated with the feces of ...
Calreticulin regulates Src kinase in osteogenic differentiation from embryonic stem cells
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Calreticulin, the major Ca2+ buffer of the endoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in the choice of fate by embryonic stem cells. Using the embryoid body method of organogenesis, we showed impaired osteogenesis in ...
Colorimetric gold nanoparticles-based assay for direct detection of Clostridium difficile in clinical isolates from Qatar
(
Academic Journals
, 2017 , Article)
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a significant health problem worldwide. Control and prevention strategies of C. difficile horizontal transmission require assays with fast detection with high specificity and ...
PDGFRα depletion attenuates glioblastoma stem cells features by modulation of STAT3, RB1 and multiple oncogenic signals.
(
Impact Journals
, 2016 , Article)
Platelet derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) play an important role in tumor pathogenesis, and they are frequently overexpressed in glioblastoma (GBM). Earlier we have shown a higher protein expression of PDGFR isoforms ...
Nanotubes Impregnated Human Olfactory Bulb Neural Stem Cells Promote Neuronal Differentiation in Trimethyltin-induced Neurodegeneration Rat Model
(
Wiley
, 2017 , Article)
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent self-renewing cells that could be used in cellular-based therapy for a wide variety of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's diseases (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), ...
Aberrant DNA methylation of PTPRG as one possible mechanism of its under-expression in CML patients in the State of Qatar
(
Wiley Open Access
, 2020 , Article)
Several studies showed that aberrant DNA methylation is involved in leukemia and cancer pathogenesis. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor gamma (PTPRG) expression is a natural inhibitory mechanism that is downregulated ...
Effect of flow-induced shear stress in nanomaterial uptake by cells: Focus on targeted anti-cancer therapy
(
MDPI
