Molecular aspects of delta opioid receptors.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)The delta opioid receptor (DOP) belongs to the Class A, rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. Although this receptor has a high level of similarity with the other opioid receptors, it displays unique aspects ... -
Molecular basis of FAAH-OUT-associated human pain insensitivity.
( Oxford University Press , 2023 , Article)Chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide and new treatments are needed urgently. One way to identify novel analgesic strategies is to understand the biological dysfunctions that lead to human inherited pain ... -
Molecular Big Data in Sports Sciences: State-of-Art and Future Prospects of OMICS-Based Sports Sciences.
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Together with environment and experience (that is to say, diet and training), the biological and genetic make-up of an athlete plays a major role in exercise physiology. Sports genomics has shown, indeed, that some DNA ... -
Molecular characterization of cancers with NTRK gene fusions
( Springer Nature , 2019 , Article)Targeted inhibitors of neurotropic tyrosine kinases are highly effective in selected patients with gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3. These fusions are consistently detected in rare cancer types (e.g., secretory ... -
Molecular characterization of circadian gene expression and its correlation with survival percentage in colorectal cancer patients
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a form of cancer characterized by many symptoms and readily metastasizes to different organs in the body. Circadian rhythm is one of the many processes that is observed to be dysregulated in ... -
Molecular characterization of extended spectrum β -lactamases enterobacteriaceae causing lower urinary tract infection among pediatric population.
( BioMed Central , 2018 , Article)The β-lactam antibiotics have traditionally been the main treatment of Enterobacteriaceae infections, nonetheless, the emergence of species producing β- Lactamases has rendered this class of antibiotics largely ineffective. ... -
Molecular Characterization of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing and Among the Pediatric Population in Qatar
( Frontiers Media , 2020 , Article)Although extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are a public health problem in the Arabian Peninsula, data on the molecular characteristic of their antimicrobial resistance determinants in children ... -
Molecular characterization of influenza virus in intestines and its effect on intestinal microbiota
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Background: Influenza predominantly causes respiratory diseases; however, gastrointestinal symptoms are not uncommonly reported, particularly among high risk groups. Influenza virus RNA has been also detected in stools of ... -
Molecular correlates of immune cytolytic subgroups in colorectal cancer by integrated genomics analysis
( Oxford University Press , 2021 , Article)Although immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has shown promising results in metastatic dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC), the majority of pMMR/MSS patients do not respond to such therapies. To systematically evaluate the ... -
Molecular Design of Novel Chemicals for Iron Sulfide Scale Removal
( Hindawi Limited , 2021 , Article)Scale deposition is a pertinent challenge in the oil and gas industry. Scales formed from iron sulfide are one of the troublous scales, particularly pyrite. Moreover, the use of biodegradable environmentally friendly ... -
Molecular Design Strategy for Ordered Mesoporous Stoichiometric Metal Oxide
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2019 , Article)A molecular design strategy is used to construct ordered mesoporous Ti3+-doped Li4Ti5O12 nanocrystal frameworks (OM-Ti3+-Li4Ti5O12) by the stoichiometric cationic coordination assembly process. Ti4+/Li+-citrate chelate is ... -
Molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 from indoor air samples in environmental monitoring needs adequate temporal coverage and infectivity assessment
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The relevance of airborne exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments is a matter of research and debate, with special importance for healthcare low-risk settings. Experimental approaches to the bioaerosol sampling are ... -
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Fibrous Distillation Membranes
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)The rate of heat and mass transfer through distillation membranes is typically estimated using an over-simplified, straight-cylindrical-pore approach coupled with several empirical correction factors that are included to ... -
Molecular dynamics and combined docking studies for the identification of Zaire ebola virus inhibitors
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Ebola virus (EBOV) is a lethal human pathogen with a risk of global spread of its zoonotic infections, and Ebolavirus Zaire specifically has the highest fatality rate amongst other species. There is a need for continuous ... -
