Characterization of the potency and mechanism of action of a novel dual-selective intermolecularly complemented version of Anthrax Lethal Toxin (PAU2R200A- PAL1I207R/FP59) in Acute... by Farhat, Mirna

“…Finally, while IMC/LF treatment did not affect the expression of any of the proteases tested (uPAR, MMP2, and MMP9), treatment with IMC/FP59 did affect their expression with significant cytotoxic responses seen only in cells whose uPAR expression was not affected at any time point post-treatment. In this study, we showed for the first time the potency of IMC PrAg variant on AML cell lines, its mode of action, as well as its mechanism of cell death.…”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Haissam Abou-Saleh (497840)

“…Although no single sign of cardiotoxicity was observed upon exposure to 200 mg/L of ChNPs, as judged by heartbeat rate, the corrected QT interval (QTc, which measures the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle), maximum cardiac arrest, and ejection fraction assays, the same dosage elicited the impairment of both liver size (decreased liver size, but without steatosis and lipid yolk retention) and neurobehavioral activity (increased movement under different light conditions). …”

Hydrogen Supplement Co-combustion with Diesel in 2 Compression Ignition Engine by Hamdan, Mohammad O.

“…The study reports the engine thermal efficiency, NOx emissions and engine exhaust temperature while varying hydrogen content, engine speed and ignition timing. The results show that thermal efficiency of the compression ignition engine increases as hydrogen content increases in the air-intake manifold for the same diesel mass flow rate. …”

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Alters Neuropilin-1, PlGF, and SNAI1 Expression Levels and Predicts Breast Cancer Patients Response by Noura Al-Zeheimi (5177066)

“…To further identify the role of NRP-1 and its interacting molecules in correspondence with patients' response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), we conducted a comparative study on blood and tissue samples collected from a cohort of locally advanced breast cancer patients, before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). From a panel of tested proteins and genes, we found that the levels of plasma NRP-1, placenta growth factor (PlGF) and immune cell expression of the transcription factor <i>SNAI1</i> before and after NAC were significantly different. …”
