The Role of Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C3 in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy- Progress and Novel Therapeutic Opportunities
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common autosomal dominant genetic cardiovascular disorder marked by genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Mutations in the gene encodes the cardiac myosin-binding protein C, cMYBPC3 ...
Benchmarking the Self-Assembly of Surfactin Biosurfactant at the Liquid–Air Interface to those of Synthetic Surfactants
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
The adsorption of surfactin, a lipopeptide biosurfactant, at the liquid–air interface has been investigated in this work. The maximum adsorption density and the nature and the extent of lateral interaction between the ...
New insights about the introduction of the Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata, into the North East Atlantic from Asia based on a highly polymorphic mitochondrial region
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
It is commonly presumed that the Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata was introduced into the North East (NE) Atlantic from Asia. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a highly polymorphic non-coding mitochondrial ...
Modern problems in marine biodiversity records-illustrated by the case of the Caribbean Pelia mutica (Gibbes, 1850) confirmed in Brazil
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2016 , Article)
This report confirms the presence of Pelia mutica in Brazil, extending its range by approximately 4000 km south to the southwestern Atlantic Ocean from its most southerly recorded distribution. The presence of this small ...
Reconstituted B cell receptor signaling reveals carbohydrate-dependent mode of activation
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Activation of immune cells (but not B cells) with lectins is widely known. We used the structurally defined interaction between influenza hemagglutinin (HA) and its cell surface receptor sialic acid (SA) to identify a B ...
Roles of Gibberellins and Abscisic Acid in Regulating Germination of Suaeda salsa Dimorphic Seeds Under Salt Stress
(
Frontiers Media
, 2016 , Article)
Seed heteromorphism observed in many halophytes is an adaptive phenomenon toward high salinity. However, the relationship between heteromorphic seed germination and germination-related hormones under salt stress remains ...
Impact of single-walled carbon nanotubes on the embryo: a brief review
(
Dove Press
, 2016 , Article)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered one of the most interesting materials in the 21st century due to their unique physiochemical characteristics and applicability to various industrial products and medical applications. ...
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ...
Flexible thermo-electrochemical cells using Iodolyte HI-30 for conversion of low-grade heat to electrical energy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, we investigated the flexible thermo-electro chemical cells (TECs) for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical energy in the temperature range of 20–70 °C. The TECs were fabricated using 30 ...
Structural and electrochemical properties of electrodeposited Ni-P nanocomposite coatings containing mixed ceramic oxide particles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2016 , Article)
Mixed oxide ceramic particles were incorporated into Ni-P matrix to synthesize Ni-P-TiO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings. In the present study, the effect of concentration of mixed oxide ceramic particles (TiO2 and CeO2) on ...
