Biological screening of newly synthesized BIAN N-heterocyclic gold carbene complexes in zebrafish embryos
( MDPI AG , 2015 , Article)N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metal complexes possess diverse biological activities but have yet to be extensively explored as potential chemotherapeutic agents. We have previously reported the synthesis of a new class of ... -
Biological-Based Produced Water Treatment Using Microalgae: Challenges and Efficiency
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Produced water (PW) is the most significant waste stream generated in the oil and gas industries. The generated PW has the potential to be a useful water source rather than waste. While a variety of technologies can be ... -
A Biomarker Based Severity Progression Indicator for COVID-19: The Kuwait Prognosis Indicator Score.
( Taylor and Francis , 2020 , Article)COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic that is mild in most patients but can result in a pneumonia like illness with progression to acute respiratory distress syndrome and death. Predicting the disease severity at time of diagnosis ... -
Biomarkers of Targeted Therapy and Immuno-Oncology in Cancers Metastatic to the Breast.
( Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins , 2019 , Article)The breast is a rare site for metastases, and their molecular characteristics have not been studied yet. Intrinsic molecular genetics, cancer characteristics, and breast tissue immune responses in diverse metastases to the ... -
Biomass loss in village ecosystems in Western Himalaya due to wild monkey interactions: A case study
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Conservation faces the challenge of reconciling human activities with the simultaneous presence of wildlife in cultivated landscapes. In a study carried out in two villages of Pauri Garhwal, Western Himalaya, an attempt ... -
Biomaterials in Tissue Engineering
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Book chapter)In the field of tissue engineering (TE), cells are recruited with scaffolds and soluble factors to make artificial tissues. The scaffolds aim to re-create the native extracellular matrix (ECM) for the cells in vitro, ... -
