A YEAST TWO-HYBRID SCREEN REVEALS A STRONG INTERACTION BETWEEN THE LEGIONELLA CHAPERONIN Hsp60 AND THE HOST CELL SMALL HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN Hsp10
(
Akadémiai Kiadó
, 2015 , Article)
L. pneumophila is an intracellular bacterium that replicates inside a membrane-
bound vacuole called Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), where it plentifully
liberates its HtpB chaperonin. From LCV, HtpB reaches the ...
Deletion of potD, encoding a putative spermidine-binding protein, results in a complex phenotype in Legionella pneumophila
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2014 , Article)
L. pneumophila is an intracellular pathogen that replicates in a membrane-bound compartment known as the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). We previously observed that the polyamine spermidine, produced by host cells or ...
Arrhythmogenic calmodulin E105A mutation alters cardiac RyR2 regulation leading to cardiac dysfunction in zebrafish
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Calmodulin (CaM) is a universal calcium (Ca )-binding messenger that regulates many vital cellular events. In cardiac muscle, CaM associates with ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) and regulates excitation-contraction coupling. ...
Seroprevalence and incidence of hepatitis E virus among blood donors: A review.
(
Wiley
, 2017 , Article)
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an RNA virus with 4 main genotypes. HEV-1 and HEV-2 infect solely humans, while HEV-3 and HEV-4 infect humans and various animals such as pigs, deer, and rabbits. HEV-5 and HEV-6 infect mainly ...
A systematic investigation of the bio-toxicity of core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres using zebrafish model
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract In this work, shearing interface coassembly in biliquid phase systems is employed to synthesize biocompatible core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres with uniform size of about 600 nm, perpendicular ...

(2021 , Article)
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to be a global health concern. The mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine was reported to have an efficacy of 94.1% at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 due to infection with ‘wild-type’ variants in a ...
Toxicity evaluation of selected ionic liquid compounds on embryonic development of Zebrafish.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Hydrate formation in seafloor pipelines is considered an economic and flow assurance issue for the oil and gas industries. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently used as potential hydrate inhibitors. Although branded as ...
Antimicrobial Resistance of Commensal Escherichia coli Isolated from Food Animals in Qatar
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2020 , Article)
This study aims at evaluating the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of 18 clinically relevant antibiotics in food animals in Qatar. Fecal samples from camels, cattle, and pigeons (300) were ...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa: arsenal of resistance mechanisms, decades of changing resistance profiles, and future antimicrobial therapies.
(
Future Medicine
, 2015 , Article)
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious public health issues facing humans since the discovery of antimicrobial agents. The frequent, prolonged, and uncontrolled use of antimicrobial agents are major factors ...
Review of recent research on biomedical applications of electrospun polymer nanofibers for improved wound healing
(
Future Medicine
, 2016 , Article)
Wound dressings play an important role in a patient’s recovery from health problems,
as unattended wounds could lead to serious complications such as infections or,
ultimately, even death. Therefore, wound dressings since ...
