Comparison of Myeloid Cells in Circulation and in the Tumor Microenvironment of Patients with Colorectal and Breast Cancers by Salman M. Toor (8854751)

“…We found that although granulocytic myeloid cells were expanded in the TME of both PBC and CRC patients, the levels of these cells were significantly higher in the TME of CRC patients. Moreover, our results indicate that increased levels of circulating granulocytic myeloid cells are associated with poorly differentiated tumors in CRC patients. …”

Rapid mercury removal using living indigenous microalgal communities for water treatment applications by Amr Nasr Fekry (22521185)

“…Advanced characterization revealed significant surface modifications, with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showing increased surface roughness, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) indicating involvement of hydroxyl, protein, and carbohydrate functional groups, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) confirming Hg(II) binding to oxygen-containing moieties with distinctive Hg 4f peaks at 101.78 and 105.8 eV. …”

Waterpipe Tobacco Smoke Nicotine Mediates Resilience to Chronic Stress by Activating BDNF Signaling by Khalifeh, Mohamad Rabieh

“…Even though initially, WTS decreased anxiety-like behaviors it was found that 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. …”

Transcriptome Profile Identifies Actin as an Essential Regulator of Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C3 Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Zebrafish Model by Sahar Isa Da’as (18288880)

“…Although cardiac contractility was similar to the wild-type control, the ejection fraction was significantly increased in the mypbc3 mutants. At later stages of larval development, the mutants demonstrated an early cardiac phenotype of myocardium remodeling, concurrent cardiomyocyte hyperplasia, and increased ejection fraction as critical processes in HCM initiation to counteract the increased ventricular myocardial wall stress. …”

The role of protected areas in modulating vegetation response to climatic stressors in hyper-arid ecosystems by Ammar Abulibdeh (15785928)

“…Results show that vegetation sensitivity to climate drivers increased significantly post-protection. For example, in Al Reem, the effect of evaporation on NDVI shifted from a non-significant, 28.1 (p = 0.136) before 2006 to a significant, 18.5 (p = 0.007) after protection, while the number of precipitation events lost its prior significance (β = 3.4, p = 0.016 → p = 0.981). …”

Risk factors for microscopic hematuria in women by Ritcher, Lee A.

Performance evaluation of 3D-printed PLA composites doped with WE43 magnesium alloy for bone tissue engineering applications by Sumama Nuthana Kalva (17302906)

“…The results from the compression study showed that increasing magnesium content showed improved mechanical properties, with 15 % WE43 showing the highest strength value of 740.6 MPa and elastic modulus of 6.45 GPa. Also, significant calcium phosphate deposition was observed in the bioactivity study and higher degradation was observed for higher magnesium content scaffolds. …”

Land surface temperature responses to land use dynamics in urban areas of Doha, Qatar by Shikha Patel (14151027)

“…Specifically, the mean summer LST increases by 7.64 °C (0.34 °C annually), and the mean winter LST decreases by 4.87 °C (0.22 °C annually). Notably, built-up areas and desert lands consistently recorded the highest mean LST in both seasons in all observed years. …”

Andrographolide pre-treatment enhances the anti-tumor activity of topotecan on acute myeloid leukemia cells in vitro by Rizk, Sandra

“…Cotreating the cells with both topotecan and andrographolide simultaneously at various concentrations did not result in any significant changes. However, pretreating the cells with andrographolide for 24 hours prior to topotecan addition, led to a significant decrease in cell proliferation (39%) as compared to treatment with the compounds separately (67%). …”
