Over-Expression of hNGF in Adult Human Olfactory Bulb Neural Stem Cells Promotes Cell Growth and Oligodendrocytic Differentiation
(
Public Library of Science ONE Staff
, 2013 , Article)
The adult human olfactory bulb neural stem/progenitor cells (OBNC/PC) are promising candidate for cell-based therapy for traumatic and neurodegenerative insults. Exogenous application of NGF was suggested as a promising ...
Novel immunoassay technique for rapid measurement of intracellular proteins using paramagnetic particles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2013 , Article)
Magnetic immunoassays have been shown to have similar detection limits to conventional immunoassays, with the advantage of reduced total assay time. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that an integrated lysis and ...
Intestinal Parasitic Infections among Long-Term-Residents and Settled Immigrants in Qatar in the Period 2005 to 2011
(
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
, 2013 , Article)
Abstract. The expanding economy of Qatar in the last two decades has attracted immigrants, often from countries
with poor socio-economic levels. Many arrive with patent intestinal parasitic infections, and recent analyses ...
12/15-Lipoxygenase-Derived Lipid Metabolites Induce Retinal Endothelial Cell Barrier Dysfunction: Contribution of NADPH Oxidase
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of 12/15- lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) metabolites on retinal endothelial cell (REC) barrier function. FITC-dextran flux across the REC monolayers and electrical ...
Cinnamon extract inhibits angiogenesis in zebrafish and human endothelial cells by suppressing VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and PKC-mediated MAP kinase
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Angiogenesis is a process of new blood vessel generation and under pathological conditions, lead to tumor development, progression, and metastasis. Many bioactive components have been studied for its antiangiogenic properties ...

(
BioMed Central Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
Background: Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) remains a common cause of clinic visits and hospitalizations, though its aetiology has not been determined in Qatar.
Methods: We performed a prospective, emergency department–based ...

(
International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is found to be at least 6-10% prevalent all over the world. It is the most common endocrine pathology among females of reproductive age. It is by definition a syndrome having multiple manifestations ...
The Dual Role of Paramagnetic Particles for Integrated Lysis and Measurement in a Rapid Immunoassay for Intracellular Proteins
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Abstract—A novel, integrated lysis and immunoassay method-
ology and system for intracellular protein measurement are de-
scribed. The method uses paramagnetic particles both as a lysis
agent and assay label resulting ...
