Comparison of potential inhibitors and targeting fat mass and obesity-associated protein causing diabesity through docking and molecular dynamics strategies.
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified an association between polymorphisms in the FTO gene and obesity. The FTO: rs9939609, an intronic variant, is considered a risk allele for developing diabesity in ...
Tumor reversion: a dream or a reality.
(
Pubmed
, 2021 , Article)
Reversion of tumor to a normal differentiated cell once considered a dream is now at the brink of becoming a reality. Different layers of molecules/events such as microRNAs, transcription factors, alternative RNA splicing, ...
miR-21 mimic blocks obesity in mice: A novel therapeutic option
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising drug targets for obesity and metabolic disorders. Recently, miRNA mimics are providing a unique mechanism of action that guides the process for drug development and sets out the context of ...

(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Propionic Acidemia (PA) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by variants in the or genes, leading to mitochondrial accumulation of propionyl-CoA and its by-products. Here, we report a 2 year-old Egyptian boy with PA ...
