Antimicrobials: a global alliance for optimizing their rational use in intra-abdominal infections (AGORA)
( BioMed Central , 2016 , Article)Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) are an important cause of morbidity and are frequently associated with poor prognosis, particularly in high-risk patients. The cornerstones in the management of complicated IAIs are timely ... -
Aspirin inhibits cancer stem cells properties and growth of glioblastoma multiforme through Rb1 pathway modulation.
( Wiley , 2019 , Article)Several clinical studies indicated that the daily use of aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid reduces the cancer risk via cyclooxygenases (Cox-1 and Cox-2) inhibition. In addition, aspirin-induced Cox-dependent and -independent ... -
Cancer immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs): potential, mechanisms of resistance, and strategies for reinvigorating T cell responsiveness when resistance is acquired
( BioMed Central Ltd , 2023 , Article Review)Cancer is still the leading cause of death globally. The approval of the therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies against immune checkpoint molecules, notably those that target the proteins PD-1 and PD-L1, has changed the ... -
Common and Rare Genetic Variants Associated With Alzheimer's Disease
( WILEY PERIODICALS, INC. , 2016 , Article)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most devastating disorders. Despite the continuing increase of its incidence among aging populations, no effective cure has been developed mainly due to difficulties in early diagnosis ... -
Current status and innovative developments of CAR-T-cell therapy for the treatment of breast cancer
( BioMed Central Ltd , 2025 , Article Review)Breast cancer will overtake all other cancers in terms of diagnoses in 2024. Breast cancer counts highest among women in terms of cancer incidence and death rates. Innovative treatment approaches are desperately needed ... -
Differentiation of human olfactory bulb-derived neural stem cells toward oligodendrocyte.
( Wiley , 2018 , Article)In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes are the glial element in charge of myelin formation. Obtaining an overall presence of oligodendrocyte precursor cells/oligodendrocytes (OPCs/OLs) in culture from different ... -
The effect of triiodothyronine on maturation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells during remyelination following induced demyelination in male albino rat
( Elsevier, Ltd , 2016 , Article)Demyelination was induced by two weeks cuprizone treatment. Rats of +ve control and triiodothyronine (T3) then received three subcutaneous injections of either saline or T3 day after day and sacrificed at the end of the ... -
Gene Expression Profiling of Embryonic Human Neural Stem Cells and Dopaminergic Neurons from Adult Human Substantia Nigra
( Public Library of Science , 2011 , Article)Neural stem cells (NSC) with self-renewal and multipotent properties serve as an ideal cell source for transplantation to treat neurodegenerative insults such as Parkinson’s disease. We used Agilent’s and Illumina Whole ... -
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, ... -
Glioma extracellular vesicles for precision medicine: prognostic and theragnostic application
( Springer , 2022 , Article Review)EV produced by tumour cells carry a diverse population of proteins, lipids, DNA, and RNA molecules throughout the body and appear to play an important role in the overall development of the disease state, according to ... -
Human microbiome and its association with health and diseases
( Wiley , 2016 , Article)Human microbiota are distinct communities of microorganisms that resides at different body niches. Exploration of the human microbiome has become a reality due to the availability of powerful metagenomics and metatranscriptomic ... -
Human olfactory bulb neural stem cells (Hu-OBNSCs) can be loaded with paclitaxel and used to inhibit glioblastoma cell growth
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Exploitation of the potential ability of human olfactory bulb (hOB) cells to carry, release, and deliver an effective, targeted anticancer therapy within the central nervous system (CNS) milieu remains elusive. Previous ... -
Human Olfactory Bulb Neural Stem Cells Expressing hNGF Restore Cognitive Deficit in Alzheimer's Disease Rat Model
( Wiley , 2015 , Article)In this study, we aim to demonstrate the fate of allogenic adult human olfactory bulb neural stem/progenitor cells (OBNSC/NPCs) transplanted into the rat hippocampus treated with ibotenic acid (IBO), a neurotoxicant ... -
Human olfactory bulb neural stem cells mitigate movement disorders in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.
( Wiley , 2015 , Article)Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder characterized by the loss of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent stem cells that are capable of differentiating into different ... -
Landscape of NAT2 polymorphisms among breast cancer.
( Elsevier Masson , 2016 , Article)PURPOSE: The prevalence of phenotypes of Arylamine N-acetyltransferase-2(NAT2) gene (i.e. fast, intermediate and slow acetylators) among ethnic groups, as well as the association studies regarding NAT2 polymorphisms and ... -
Over-Expression of hNGF in Adult Human Olfactory Bulb Neural Stem Cells Promotes Cell Growth and Oligodendrocytic Differentiation
( Public Library of Science ONE Staff , 2013 , Article)The adult human olfactory bulb neural stem/progenitor cells (OBNC/PC) are promising candidate for cell-based therapy for traumatic and neurodegenerative insults. Exogenous application of NGF was suggested as a promising ... -
Pandemic COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2: genetic structure, vaccination, and therapeutic approaches
