Nanoparticle enrichment mass-spectrometry proteomics identifies protein-altering variants for precise pQTL mapping by Karsten Suhre (67967)

“…</i>) where we quantify over 18,000 unique peptides from nearly 3000 proteins in more than 320 blood samples from a multi-ethnic cohort in a bottom-up, peptide-centric, mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. We identify 184 protein-altering variants in 137 genes that are significantly associated with their corresponding variant peptides, confirming target specificity of co-associated affinity binders, identifying putatively causal cis-encoded proteins and providing experimental evidence for their presence in blood, including proteins that may be inaccessible to affinity-based proteomics.…”

Morphological changes in amblyopic eyes in choriocapillaris and Sattler’s layer in comparison to healthy eyes, and in retinal nerve fiber layer in comparison to fellow eyes through... by Masri, Oussama Samer

“…Results The method of measuring reflectivity is good to excellent reliability for all regions of interest except the fourth. The mean reflectivity of the choriocapillaris and Sattler’s layer in amblyopic eyes were significantly lower than in healthy eyes (p = 0.003 and p = 0.008 respectively). …”

Evidence and gaps in clinical outcomes of novel pharmacologic therapies for sickle cell disease: A systematic literature review highlighting insights from clinical trials and real-... by Mohamed Yassin (4166515)

“…The high discontinuation rate and results of the STAND trial led to a significant decrease in the use of crizanlizumab. The HOPE trial demonstrated a 51 % improvement in hemoglobin response and a reduction in hemolytic markers in patients treated with voxelotor. …”

Application of surfactants in enhancing oil recovery from tight carbonates: Physicochemical properties and core flooding experiments by Osama Massarweh (17012217)

“…It was shown that the presence of the surfactants and the increase in salinity both caused a significant reduction in the oil-water IFT. Additionally, all surfactant formulations altered the wettability of carbonate rock from intermediate-to water-wet conditions. …”

The synergistic effects of cationic surfactant and smart seawater on the recovery of medium-viscosity crude oil from low-permeability carbonates by Osama Massarweh (17012217)

“…The use of smart SW and CTAB significantly altered the wettability of carbonate rock towards water-wet and reduced the interfacial tension (IFT) between crude oil and water, reaching levels below 0.087 mN/m. …”

Novel Synonymous Variant in<i> IL7R</i> Causes Preferential Expression of the Soluble Isoform by Rafah Mackeh (14151225)

Kernel-Ridge-Regression-Based Randomized Network for Brain Age Classification and Estimation by Raveendra Pilli (21633287)

“…Moreover, the proposed algorithm demonstrated excellent prediction accuracy with a mean absolute error (MAE) of <b>3.89</b> years, <b>3.64 </b>years, and <b>4.49</b> years for GM, WM, and CSF regions, confirming that changes in WM volume are significantly associated with normal brain aging. Additionally, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) examines age-related anatomical alterations in different brain regions in GM, WM, and CSF tissue volumes.…”

Microalgal-based desalination brine remediation: Achievements, challenges, and future research trends by Isra E. Gilani (17019066)

“…<p dir="ltr">Desalination brine discharge has several negative impacts on the marine environment, such as increase in salinity levels, effects on marine biodiversity, and alteration of the physical and chemical characteristics of water. …”

A New Restriction Endonuclease-Based Method for Highly-Specific Detection of DNA Targets from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Maria W. Smith (18807382)

“…Sequences of target oligonucleotides were altered to demonstrate that (i) any mutation of the restriction site reduced the signal to zero; (ii) double and triple point mutations of sequences flanking the restriction site reduced restriction to 50–80% of the positive control; and (iii) a minimum of a 16-bp target-probe dsDNA hybrid was required for significant cleavage. …”

A Fully Optical Laser Based System for Damage Detection and Localization in Rail Tracks Using Ultrasonic Rayleigh Waves: A Numerical and Experimental Study by Masurkar, Faeez
