Mitotic Arrest and Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells Induced by Origanum majorana Extract: Upregulation of TNF-α and Downregulation of Survivin and Mutant p53
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
Background: In the present study, we investigated the effect of Origanum majorana ethanolic extract on the survival of the highly proliferative and invasive triple-negative p53 mutant breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. ...
Evidencing the diversity and needs of adjustment of the nutritional requirements for hydrocarbon-degrading activity of: Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapted to harsh conditions using 2<sup>n</sup> full factorial design
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
To overcome the partial or complete failure of oil hydrocarbon bioremediation due to weathering processes, occurring in most oil producing and spilling areas, nutritional requirements of the most widely used bacterium, ...
TRAF6-mediated ubiquitination of NEMO requires p62/sequestosome-1
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The atypical protein kinase C-interacting protein p62/sequestosome-1 (p62) has emerged as a crucial molecule in a variety of cellular functions due to its involvement in various signaling mechanisms. p62 has been implicated ...
Revealing the maternal demographic history of Panthera leo using ancient DNA and a spatially explicit genealogical analysis
(
BioMed Central Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Background: Understanding the demographic history of a population is critical to conservation and to our broader understanding of evolutionary processes. For many tropical large mammals, however, this aim is confounded by ...
Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ...
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 ...
Traditional plant functional groups explain variation in economic but not size-related traits across the tundra biome
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Aim: Plant functional groups are widely used in community ecology and earth system modelling to describe trait variation within and across plant communities. However, this approach rests on the assumption that functional ...
Comparing connection to theory in Bachelor's theses: Old research university versus new regional university college
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Article)
Quality of higher education is often assumed to be linked to the size of the faculty. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis whether Bachelor's theses in ecology at a large, old research university would have more ...
Isolation of the Bacillus thuringiensis plasmid carrying Bacthuricin F4 coding genes and evidence of its conjugative transfer
(
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
, 2014 , Article)
INTRODUCTION:
Conjugation is an excellent natural mode of DNA transfer in vivo between bacteria, particularly when these conjugative elements carry technological traits such as bacteriocin encoding genes. In the present ...
