Human and avicennia marina mangrove populations: With special reference to Qatar
( University of Akron , 2017 , Article)This study's aim is to find out the reasons and the ways to ensure the survival of Qatari mangroves along with the current development of the country. Mangroves are halophyte trees, able to survive in intertidal areas, ... -
Human antigen R: Exploring its inflammatory response impact and significance in cardiometabolic disorders
( Wiley , 2024 , Article Review)RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a crucial role in the regulation of posttranscriptional RNA networks, which can undergo dysregulation in many pathological conditions. Human antigen R (HuR) is a highly researched RBP that ... -
Human Defensins from Antivirals to Vaccine Adjuvants: Rediscovery of the Innate Immunity Arsenal
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2022 , Other)Human defensins are a class of antimicrobial peptides, belonging to the innate immunity system. These peptides are expressed at the level of respiratory tract (both upper and lower) where they represent the first line of ... -
Human Factors in Driving Accidents: A Cognitive Investigation in the Gulf Context
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Human factors were reported by researchers to be the reason behind the majority of car accidents; examples of these factors were: inattention, stress, distraction, decision making, drugs and alcohol abuses. Most of such ... -
Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as a Platform for Modeling Arrhythmias
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Book chapter)Cardiac arrhythmias can arise due to a host of both genetic and acquired factors. Specifically, the genetic basis of arrhythmogenesis is not fully understood due to the lack of robust models that reliably recapitulate human ... -
Humoristic Translanguaging in Intercultural Communication in Qatar: Merits, Limitations, and Its Potential Contribution to Policy Development
