Soluble ACE2 and Angiotensin II levels Modulated in Hypertensive COVID-19 Patients treated with different Antihypertension Drugs
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Hypertension is a major risk factor and common comorbidity among severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Prominent antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin ...
Assessment of Human Fetal Left Heart Hemodynamics during Prenatal Development
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
The hemodynamic forces and wall shear stresses (WSS) play an important role during the fetal heart development. Abnormal levels of flow-driven shear stress can deteriorate the proper functioning of the cells responsible ...
Understanding diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy from the perspective of renin angiotensin aldosterone system
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Experimental and clinical evidence suggests that diabetic subjects are predisposed to a distinct cardiovascular dysfunction, known as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which could be an autonomous disease independent of ...
Cilia proteins are biomarkers of altered flow in the vasculature
(
American Society for Clinical Investigation
, 2022 , Article)
Cilia, microtubule-based organelles that project from the apical luminal surface of endothelial cells (ECs), are widely regarded as low-flow sensors. Previous reports suggest that upon high shear stress, cilia on the EC ...
Evaluation of Metal-Organic Framework MIL-89 Nanoparticles Toxicity on Embryonic Zebrafish Development
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Metal-Organic Framework MIL-89 nanoparticles garnered remarkable attention for their widespread use in technological applications. However, the impact of these nanomaterials on human and environmental health is still ...
Reduced Cardiotoxicity of Ponatinib-Loaded PLGA-PEG-PLGA Nanoparticles in Zebrafish Xenograft Model.
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the new generation of anti-cancer drugs with high potential against cancer cells' proliferation and growth. However, TKIs are associated with severe cardiotoxicity, limiting their ...
Soluble ACE2 and angiotensin II levels are modulated in hypertensive COVID-19 patients treated with different antihypertension drugs.
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2022 , Article)
This study examines the effect of antihypertensive drugs on ACE2 and Angiotensin II levels in hypertensive COVID-19 patients. Hypertension is a common comorbidity among severe COVID-19 patients. ACE2 expression can be ...
Design and Microinjection of Morpholino Antisense Oligonucleotides and mRNA into Zebrafish Embryos to Elucidate Specific Gene Function in Heart Development
(
MyJove Corporation
, 2022 , Article)
The morpholino oligomer-based knockdown system has been used to identify the function of various gene products through loss or reduced expression. Morpholinos (MOs) have the advantage in biological stability over DNA oligos ...
Zebrafish as a Model for Anticancer Nanomedicine Studies.
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Nanomedicine is a new approach to fight against cancer by the development of anticancer nanoparticles (NPs) that are of high sensitivity, specificity, and targeting ability to detect cancer cells, such as the ability of ...
Developmental Toxicity of Surface-Modified Gold Nanorods in the Zebrafish Model
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Background: nanotechnology is one of the fastest-growing areas, and it is expected to have a substantial economic and social impact in the upcoming years. Gold particles (AuNPs) offer an opportunity for wide-ranging ...
