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.…”

Significance of Avicennia Marina in the Arabian Gulf Environment: A Review by Kaiprath Puthiyapurayil Haseeba (21392966)

“…However, in the past two decades Gulf mangroves have been facing significant threats, including extensive coastal development, shoreline modification by establishing marinas and ports, and climate change-associated impacts such as sea-level rise and altered precipitation patterns, which pose significant risks to this fragile ecosystem. …”

Serum metabolic signatures for Alzheimer’s Disease reveal alterations in amino acid composition: a validation study by Jonas Ellegaard Nielsen (21633062)

“…Pathway analysis of significantly altered metabolites in the validation set revealed that they are involved in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and energy metabolism (glycolysis and gluconeogenesis). …”

Kefir exhibits anti‑proliferative and pro‑apoptotic effects on colon adenocarcinoma cells with no significant effects on cell migration and invasion by Khoury, Nathalie

“…MMP expression was not altered by kefir treatment. Furthermore, results from time‑lapse motility movies, wound‑healing, and invasion assays showed no effect on the motility of colorectal as well as breast (MCF‑7 and MB‑MDA‑231) cancer cells upon kefir treatment. …”

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. …”

When Should a Brain MRI Be Performed in Children with New-Onset Seizures? Results of a Large Prospective Trial by Hourani, R.

“…Univariate analysis showed a significant increase in the frequency of epileptogenic lesions with decreasing age, the presence of developmental delay, and the number and types of seizures at presentation. …”

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. …”

Fourier-Transform Infrared Imaging Spectroscopy and Laser Ablation -ICPMS New Vistas for Biochemical Analyses of Ischemic Stroke in Rat Brain by Mohamed H. M. Ali (5768066)

“…</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The FTIR results revealed that in the lesioned gray matter the relative distribution of lipid, lipid acyl and protein contents decreased significantly. Also at this locus, there was a significant increase in aggregated protein as detected by high-levels Aβ1-42. …”

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.…”

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

“…Fourth, it is observed that a small change in the location of the sensing point may significantly alter the overall signal. Fifth, it is also observed that the actuation and sensing position plays a crucial role in receiving the time-domain data with a sufficient SNR and the one that is easy to analyze and interpret. …”
