BACKGROUND
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an RNA virus transmitted mainly through zoonotic transmission or fecal–oral route. More than 80% of Qatar's population are expatriates, including many coming from hyperendemic ...
Cholinergic and dopaminergic neuronal differentiation of human adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types such as cartilage, bone, and fat cells. Recent studies have shown that induction of MSCs in vitro by growth factors including ...

(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Parasites threaten human and animal health globally. It is estimated that more than 60% of people on planet Earth carry at least one parasite, many of them several different species. Unfortunately, parasite studies suffer ...
The effect of aluminum oxide on red blood cell integrity and hemoglobin structure at nanoscale
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, we explored the interaction of Al2O3 NPs with RBCs and Hb to determine the effect of Al2O3 NPs on hemolytic activity and Hb denaturation. The percentage of hemolysis of extracts and direct contact assays triggered ...
