Novel nitrogen-based chalcone analogs provoke substantial apoptosis in HER2-positive human breast cancer cells via JNK and ERK1/ERK2 signaling pathways
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Natural chalcones possess antitumor properties and play a role as inducers of apoptosis, antioxidants and cytotoxic compounds. We recently reported that novel nitrogen chalcone-based compounds, which were generated in our ... -
Novel polymethoxylated chalcones as potential compounds against kras-mutant colorectal cancers
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2020 , Article)Background/Objective: KRAS-mutant colorectal cancers (CRC) are tumors that are associated with poor prognosis. However, no effective treatments are available to target them. Therefore, we designed and synthesized novel ... -
Novel Theileria sp. as an Etiology of Cutaneous Theileriosis among the Vulnerable Arabian Oryx
( MDPI , 2024 , Article)The Arabian Peninsula’s endemic ungulate, Oryx leucoryx, was on the verge of extinction at the end of the 1970s. Despite the different reintroduction programs, the International Union for Conservation of Nature is still ... -
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 ... -
Numerical Investigation of the Fetal Left Heart Hemodynamics During Gestational Stages
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Flow-driven hemodynamic forces on the cardiac tissues have critical importance, and have a significant role in the proper development of the heart. These mechanobiological mechanisms govern the cellular responses for the ... -
Oncolytic viruses as nanomedicines against the tumor microenvironment
( AMG Transcend Association , 2021 , Article Review)The tumor microenvironment is best described as the battleground for fighting cancer and the host immune system. Contrary to primitive beliefs that cancer growth and progression are solely dependent on cancer cells, recent ... -
