Soluble Neuropilin-1 Response to Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes: Increased Risk or Protection in SARS-CoV-2 Infection? by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Hypoglycemia potentiated both plasma sNRP1 level elevation and its ligands VEGF and SEMA3A, likely through an ADAM9-mediated mechanism that was not associated with RAS overactivity or ACEi therapy; however, whether this is protective or promotes increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection in T2D is unclear.…”

CO, CO2, and SO2 detection based on functionalized graphene nanoribbons: First principles study by Ehab, Salih

“…Before modification, the adsorption energies have been found to be −0.260, −0.145, and −0.196 eV due to the adsorption of CO, CO2, and SO2, respectively. After modification, the adsorption energy increased remarkably to −0.538 and −0.767 eV for the cases of AGNR-O-OH-CO2 and AGNR-O-OH-SO2, respectively. …”

AI avatars and co-creation in the metaverse by Ramadan, za

“…Findings Based on data triangulation, the extracted themes dealt with four key areas: (1) avatars’ relational encounters in hospitality, (2) avatars’ realism, (3) self-representation and self-perception skewness and (4) AI co-creation. The findings show that while avatars’ realism would increase the authenticity of virtual social connections, engagement and monetization, the issue of a self-misrepresentation will diminish the effect of virtual encounters. …”
