Toads in Qatar: The species present and their probable original source
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Toads are likely to have been introduced to Qatar, but little information is available on toad populations in the country, including the species present and their probable origin. Therefore, we collected tissue samples for ... -
Impacts of urban land use changes on ecosystem services in Dianchi lake basin, China
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Land use change is widely regarded as a key factor altering the structure and function of ecosystems. Urbanization is a particular driver and influence in land use change and is expanding globally, especially in developing ... -
Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ... -
Ecosystem service supply and demand: Theory and management application
( ACTA ECOLOGICA SINICA , 2017 , Article)Ecosvstem service is a very important issue for current, sustainable scientific research. Environmental protection and management requirements are increasing and policymakers hope to incorporate ecological service information ... -
Effects of Climate and Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition on Early to Mid-Term Stage Litter Decomposition Across Biomes
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Litter decomposition is a key process for carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and is mainly controlled by environmental conditions, substrate quantity and quality as well as microbial community abundance ... -
Early stage litter decomposition across biomes
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the ... -
Traditional plant functional groups explain variation in economic but not size-related traits across the tundra biome
( Wiley , 2019 , Article)Aim: Plant functional groups are widely used in community ecology and earth system modelling to describe trait variation within and across plant communities. However, this approach rests on the assumption that functional ... -
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 ... -
PCF11, a Novel CD44-Downstream Transcriptional Target, Linking Its 3'-End Polyadenylation Function to Tumor Cell Metastasis
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Article Review)Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common and the major health issue in women worldwide. Metastasis, a multistep process, is the worst aspect of cancer and tumor cell invasion is the defining step. Tumor cell invasion requires ... -
The power of phytochemicals combination in cancer chemoprevention
( Ivyspring International Publisher , 2020 , Article Review)Conventional therapies for cancer treatment have posed many challenges, including toxicity, multidrug resistance and economic expenses. In contrast, complementary alternative medicine (CAM), employing phytochemicals have ... -
SIRT1, a novel transcriptional downstream target of CD44, linking its deacetylase activity to tumor cell invasion/metastasis
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Short Survey)Our tetracycline-off-inducible CD44 expression system previously established in mouse model, revealed that activation of CD44 with its major ligand hyaluronan (HA) promoted breast cancer (BC) metastasis to the liver. To ... -
Deregulation of cell growth and apoptosis in UV-induced melanomagenesis
( Frontiers in Bioscience , 2020 , Article Review)We have previously characterized the role of p16/Rb in coordinating the early events in UVB-irradiated skin. As an extension to this work, normal melanocytes and mutant p16-inducible melanoma cell models were employed to ... -
Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) and the role of complement system in disease pathogenesis
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article Review)Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) has been associated with severe disease outcomes in several viral infections, including respiratory infections. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that antibody-response to SARS-CoV ... -
KYNU, a novel potential target that underpins CD44-promoted breast tumour cell invasion
( Blackwell Publishing Inc. , 2021 , Article Review)Using a validated tetracycline-off-inducible CD44 expression system in mouse model, we have previously demonstrated that the hyaluronan (HA) receptor CD44 promotes breast cancer (BC) metastasis to the liver. To unravel the ... -
Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms influence on clinical profile and bone mineral density at different skeletal sites in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
( Wiley , 2023 , Article)Bone remodeling is marked by bone synthesis and absorption balance, and any altered dynamic in this process leads to osteoporosis (OP). The interaction of hormonal, environmental and genetic factors regulate bone metabolism. ... -
Towards Gas Hydrate-Free Pipelines: A Comprehensive Review of Gas Hydrate Inhibition Techniques
( MDPI , 2022 , Article Review)Gas hydrate blockage is a major issue that the production and transportation processes in the oil/gas industry faces. The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines results in significant financial losses and serious safety ... -
