Effects of vitamin E derivatives on the proliferation of KG-1 leukemic cells in vitro by Rizk, Sandra

“…XTT cell viability assay, which detects the presence of metabolically active cells, was used to assess cell proliferation. A decrease in proliferation of KG-1 cells was observed upon treatment with both forms of vitamin E derivatives; however, β-T3 was more potent than γ-T3 in promoting cell death with lower IC50 values. …”

Rising mortality related to cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer amongst older men across the United States by Abdul Ahad (545575)

Stimulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling as an alveolar cell survival strategy in emphysema by Diab, Khalil J.

“…Measurements and Main Results: Consistent with previously reported de novo activation of ceramide synthesis, VEGFR inhibition triggered increases in lung ceramides, dihydroceramides, and dihydrosphingosine, but did not alter sphingosine kinase activity or S1P levels. Administration of sphingosine decreased the ceramide-to-S1P ratio in the lung and inhibited alveolar space enlargement, along with activation of prosurvival signaling pathways and decreased lung parenchyma cell apoptosis. …”

Combined Noncoding RNA-mRNA Regulomics Signature in Reprogramming and Pluripotency in iPSCs by Salam Salloum-Asfar (656363)

“…Introducing miRNAs, such as miR-294 and miR302/3667, with reprogramming factors, has shown to increase iPSC colony formation. Previously, we identified five transcription factors, GBX2, NANOGP8, SP8, PEG3, and ZIC1, which may boost iPSC generation. …”

A Sociodemographic Analysis of the Impact of COVID-19-Related Schools’ Closure on the Diet and Physical Activity of Children and Adolescents in Qatar by Muna Abed Alah (14779534)

“…Male to female ratio was almost 1:1. We found a significant decrease in the intake of vegetables, increases in the intake of soft drinks, fried food, fast food, and sweets, and a reduction in physical activity during schools’ closure compared to before. …”

Fixed-interval versus OCT-guided variable dosing of intravitreal bevacizumab in the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration by El-Mollayess, Georges M.

Efficacy and safety of the newer oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with T2DM during Ramadan: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Hoda Gad (6470522)

“…Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) led to a significant reduction in Hb_A1c (%) (SMD -0.25) and a non-significant decrease in weight (kg) (SMD -1.06) during Ramadan. …”

Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 promotes steatosis in HepG2 cells by modulating target gene expression in presence of Exendin-4 by Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

“…Furthermore, confocal microscopy analysis of BODIPY-stained untreated, steatotic, and Ex-4-treated steatotic cells showed that Ex-4 significantly decreases the number of lipid droplets. Fatty acid uptake and transport genes were also affected by MALAT1 knockdown. …”

Exploring Sustainable Strategies for Shelter Design at Refugee Camps: The Case of Domiz 1 Refugee Camp in Iraq by AL AMEEN, FARAH

“…As a result, the proposed strategy provides an opportunity for personalization and deepens the refugees’ sense of belonging and dignity. Furthermore, a 42% decrease in cooling loads, and 31% decrease in heating loads was achieved by using the proposed wall panel, the sunspace during winter, and the roof canopy during winter, in comparison to the baseline case, the UNHCR tent.…”

Enhanced optical properties of <i>β</i>-Ga₂O₃-_<em>x</em>S_<em>x</em>S: A DFT study by G.B. Eshonqulov (22927297)

“…Here, we conduct systematic density functional theory calculations to study the effect of sulfur doping on the electronic and optical properties of <i>β</i>-Ga₂O₃. We find that the band gap of the material decreases with increasing sulfur content (from 4.81 eV to 1.59 eV), accompanied by symmetric shifts in both the valence-band offset and the conduction-band edge. …”

Generalized and pregnancy-related anxiety prevalence and predictors among pregnant women attending primary health care in Qatar, 2018–2019 by Sarah Naja (9954737)
