The impact of digital literacy and internet usage on health behaviors and decision-making in Arab MENA countries
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)BackgroundDigital literacy is essential for health behaviors and decision-making, particularly in Arab MENA countries, where access to digital resources varies considerably. ObjectiveThis study investigates the impact of ... -
Near-complete Middle Eastern genomes refine autozygosity and enhance disease-causing and population-specific variant discovery
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)Advances in long-read sequencing have enabled routine complete assembly of human genomes, but much remains to be done to represent broader populations and show impact on disease-gene discovery. Here, we report highly ... -
Joint analysis of diet quality, inflammatory potential of diet and ultra-processed food exposure in relation to chronic respiratory diseases and lung cancer mortality
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)ObjectiveExamined the combined effects of ultra-processed food (UPF), Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), and Dietary Antioxidant Index (DAI) on mortality from chronic respiratory diseases ... -
Diet-induced mechanical stress promotes immune and metabolic alterations in the Drosophila melanogaster digestive tract
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)A fundamental query in immunology is how cells recognize danger in the tissue milieu. For many years, standpoints were mainly centered around damaged cells or structures of invading pathogens, like lipopolysaccharide, being ... -
The role of soluble CD40L in autoimmune diseases
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)CD40−CD40L is essential for immune system modulation because it coordinates both adaptive and inflammatory responses.Systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, thrombocytopenic purpura, ... -
Comprehensive analysis of human coronavirus antibody responses in ICU and non-ICU COVID-19 patients reveals IgG3 against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as a key biomarker of disease severity
( Microbiology Society , 2025 , Article)Introduction. Pre-existing immunity to human coronaviruses (HCoVs) may shape the immune response in COVID-19 patients. Increasing evidence suggests that immune cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses ... -
Prevalence and predictors of breastfeeding practices in Saudi Arabia: a national cross-sectional study based on the 2021 WHO breastfeeding indicators.
( BioMed Central , 2025 , Article)Breastfeeding is described as a cost-effective strategy to improve child survival, growth and development, and reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases later in life. This study aims to provide national estimates for ... -
Antibody-dependent enhancement of SARS-CoV-2, the impact of variants and vaccination
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2025 , Article)This study characterized antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in serum samples from individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2 via infection or vaccination and evaluated its association with SARS-CoV-2 variants (Wuhan and Omicron), ... -
The impact of pre-existing immunity on the emergence of within-host immune-escape mutations in Omicron lineages
( Microbiology Society , 2025 , Article)The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 circulating amongst highly immunized populations is anticipated to induce immunological pressures, potentially compromising existing immunity. This study investigates vaccine-induced ... -
