Nicotine induces resilience to chronic social defeat stress in a mouse model of water pipe tobacco exposure by activating BDNF signaling by Khalifeh, Mohamad

“…Even though WTS initially decreased anxiety-like behaviors, prolonged exposure after the completion of CSDS significantly induced anxiety-like behaviors. Finally, we showed that nicotine mediates the effects of WTS only on resilience to stress by increasing BDNF and TRKB levels and signaling. …”

Profiling the autoantibody repertoire reveals autoantibodies associated with mild cognitive impairment and dementia by Hanan Ehtewish (17149825)

“…The exact mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of the disease remain to be fully defined. There is an increasing body of evidence for the role of immune dysregulation in the pathogenesis of dementia, where blood-borne autoimmune antibodies have been studied as potential markers associated with pathological mechanisms of dementia. …”

Driving against the clock: Investigating the impacts of time pressure on taxi and non-professional drivers’ safety and compliance by Qinaat Hussain (15294164)

“…<p>Drivers often encounter time pressure, which can lead to riskier driving habits, decreased safety margins, and a higher chance of accidents. …”

Structural and Biophysical Characterization of Stable Alpha-Synuclein Oligomers by Nishant Vaikath (3554687)

“…Increasing evidence also suggests that prefibrillar oligomeric species are more toxic than the mature amyloid fibrils. …”

Adaptive response for climate change challenges for small and vulnerable coastal area (SVCA) countries: Qatar perspective by Shoukat Alim Khan (14778226)

“…Long-term mitigation efforts would not help them reduce their current or immediate vulnerability in the short-term, as long as large countries with comparably huge populations, economies, heavy industrial dependences, and extreme consumption levels do not change their courses significantly. …”

National Culture and Leadership in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by MORADKHAN, EALBRA

“…Globalisation and transferability of human capital across the globe has stimulated an increasing need to develop global managers who understand the implications of cross-cultural work environments and are able to effectively manage people from different cultural backgrounds with diverse cultural values and practices to achieve business success. …”

The Conceptualization, Perceptions, and Practice of Positive Education in University Student Accessibility Departments by KARAKI, SUHA

“…This is further supported by literature that states that in spite of the increasing attention toward the growth of positive education, there is still a need to: understand how they are to be implemented in inclusive higher education settings, and to incorporate this educational framework in a more systematic and overt manner. …”

Knowledge and Anxiety about COVID-19 in the State of Qatar, and the Middle East and North Africa Region—A Cross Sectional Study by Sathyanarayanan Doraiswamy (4091776)

“…Good knowledge about COVID-19 was associated with low levels of anxiety. Panic and unfounded anxiety, as well as casual and carefree attitudes, can propel risk taking and mistake-making, thereby increasing vulnerability. …”

Deep Learning for the Accurate Prediction of Triggered Drug Delivery by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…The model accurately predicts drug release from liposomes and MOFs under various conditions, including low- and high-frequency ultrasound (extrinsic triggering), microwave exposure (extrinsic triggering), ultraviolet light exposure (extrinsic triggering), and different pH levels (intrinsic triggering). The deep learning-based predictions significantly outperform linear predictions, proving the utility of advanced computational methods in drug delivery. …”

A novel phosphorylated STAT3 inhibitor enhances T cell cytotoxicity against melanoma through inhibition of regulatory T cells by Abou-Ghazal, Mohamed K.

“…The activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) has been identified as a key mediator that drives the fundamental components of melanoma malignancy, including immune suppression in melanoma patients. Increasing evidence also suggests that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important in suppressing anti-tumor immunity and play a dominant role in negating efficacious immunotherapy approaches. …”

Selective induction of apoptosis in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by pristimerin through dual PI3K/AKT pathway inhibition and ROS generation by Shilpa Kuttikrishnan (3520079)

“…In this study, we demonstrate that Prist effectively inhibits the proliferation of T-ALL cell lines (Jurkat and Molt 4) by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and triggering intrinsic and extrinsic caspase-dependent apoptosis. Prist significantly increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and depletes glutathione (GSH), leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cytochrome c release. …”

MicroRNA Expression Profiling on Paired Primary and Lymph Node Metastatic Breast Cancer Revealed Distinct microRNA Profile Associated With LNM by Ramesh Elango (7542068)

“…Interestingly, interrogation of the expression levels of hsa-miR-205 and hsa-miR-214 in the METABRIC breast cancer dataset revealed significantly poor overall survival in patients with downregulated expression of miR-205 [HR = 0.75 (0.61–0.91)], p = 0.003 and hsa-miR-214 [HR = 0.74 (0.59–0.93) p = 0.008]. …”
