Towards understanding the genetics of Autism
(
Frontiers in Bioscience
, 2016 , Article Review)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that affect communication skills, social interaction and intellectual ability. Despite evidence suggesting a strong genetic link with ASD, the ...
SOD2, a Potential Transcriptional Target Underpinning CD44-Promoted Breast Cancer Progression
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
CD44, a cell-adhesion molecule has a dual role in tumor growth and progression; it acts as a tumor suppressor as well as a tumor promoter. In our previous work, we developed a tetracycline-off regulated expression of CD44’s ...
Molecular Evidence of Anticancer Activity of Camel Milk Combined with Camel Urine
(
Austin Publishing Group
, 2021 , Article)
Camel Milk (CM) and Camel Urine (CU) is a traditional practice in the
Middle East and other countries as an alternative treatment against cancer. We
hypothesized that a combination of CM and CU (CM+CU), used at ...

(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article Review)
Over the past two decades, diabetes mellitus (DM) has been receiving increasing attention among autoimmune diseases. The prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes has increased rapidly and has become one of the leading ...
Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors in Hypertension.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2018 , Article Review)
Chronic hypertension remains a major cause of global mortality and morbidity. It is a complex disease that is the clinical manifestation of multiple genetic, environmental, nutritional, hormonal, and aging-related disorders. ...
CD44 mediates stem cell mobilization to damaged lung via its novel transcriptional targets, Cortactin and Survivin
(
Ivyspring International Publisher
, 2020 , Article)
Beyond their role in bone and lung homeostasis, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are becoming popular in cell therapy. Various insults may disrupt the repair mechanisms involving MSCs. One such insult is smoking, which is a ...
Haematococcus pluvialis Microalgae Extract Inhibits Proliferation, Invasion, and Induces Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Article)
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant cancer in females worldwide. Drug resistance, toxicity, and the failure of current therapies to completely cure BC has challenged conventional medicine. Consequently, ...
Nox2 activity is required in obesity-mediated alteration of bone remodeling
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Despite increasing evidence suggesting a role for NADPH oxidases (Nox) in bone pathophysiology, whether Nox enzymes contribute to obesity-mediated bone remodeling remains to be clearly elucidated. Nox2 is one of the ...
SIRT1, a novel transcriptional downstream target of CD44, linking its deacetylase activity to tumor cell invasion/metastasis
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Short Survey)
Our tetracycline-off-inducible CD44 expression system previously established in mouse model, revealed that activation of CD44 with its major ligand hyaluronan (HA) promoted breast cancer (BC) metastasis to the liver. To ...
PCF11, a Novel CD44-Downstream Transcriptional Target, Linking Its 3'-End Polyadenylation Function to Tumor Cell Metastasis
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Article Review)
Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common and the major health issue in women worldwide. Metastasis, a multistep process, is the worst aspect of cancer and tumor cell invasion is the defining step. Tumor cell invasion requires ...
