Safe, accessible, and good water quality are essential characteristics for reducing various waterborne diseases. Since domestic is the most consumed by Lebanese people, cleaning household tanks important to prevent their exposure pathogenic microorganisms. Generally, all stages of value chain sector still imperfect. Thus, should be regularly tested, especially in impoverished landmarks where worst. The aim this study evaluate physicochemical parameters microbiological storage homes Sidon,...
This work aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in an experimental mouse model rotenone-induced PD and investigate therapeutic ZnO, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, their combination.
Targeting cell cycle and inducing DNA damage by activating death pathways are considered as effective therapeutic strategy for combating breast cancer progression. Many of the naturally known small molecules target these signaling against resistant and/or aggressive types cancers. Here, we investigated effect catechol, a occurring plant compound, its specificity chemotherapeutic efficacies in (MCF‐7 MDA‐MB‐231) cells. Catechol treatment showed concentration‐dependent cytotoxicity...
Gene therapy is the use of genes to heal diseases at genetic level. It involves insertion, correction or inactivation specific in organisms suffering from disorders. Ever since it was introduced as a hypothesis 1960s, gene has gone on become medical wonder that promises relief likes Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Today, technique used manipulate genome not only somatic cells but also germline early embryos gametes with vast range viral non-viral vectors. The targeted by are...
In kidney, extracellular [Ca2+] can modulate intracellular to control key cellular processes. Hence, is normally maintained within narrow range. We tested effect of ATP on viability human proximal (HK-2) cells at high calcium. Modulation calcium was assessed by imaging cytosolic [Ca2+], and expression calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs). present an artificial intelligence enabled deep learning model for prediction injury protection against in HK-2 cells.HK-2 were cultured calcium-free DMEM...
Cisplatin (CDDP) is currently one of the most effective FDA-approved treatments for breast cancer. Previous studies have shown that CDDP-induced cell death in human cancer (MCF-7) cells associated with disruption calcium homeostasis. However, whether sensitivity to cisplatin dysregulation expression calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs) remains unknown. In this study, we evaluated effect intracellular chelator (BAPTA-AM) on viability MCF-7 presence toxic and sub-toxic doses cisplatin....
The preservation of pure fungal cultures is considered as an important part applied and industrial microbiology applications. In this study, we are focusing on filamentous fungi these species very useful in applications such wastewater treatment, biofuel production etc. We presenting evaluation three methods to maintain preserve fungi: refrigeration filter paper, with glycerol cryopreservation DMSO. were tested the Aspergillus versicolor niger. successful where viability measured by colony...
By analyzing the abundant microorganisms in naturally occurring mangroves of Ras Al Khaimah United Arab Emirates (UAE), this policy paper discusses feasibility a future where emirate invests biofuels sourced from its as opposed to using conventional methods fuel production and usage, which can have negative impacts on environment economy. It explores successes challenges each phase biofuel technology innovation, so that previous trials errors help decision makers critically assess potentials...
Ancient DNA (aDNA) refers to the genetic material found in dead paleontological and archeological samples.Being subject various types of stressors, it undergoes different hydrolytic oxidative post mortem modifications that result formation lesions.These lesions are either block polymerase during replication or induce nucleotide misincorporations.Besides, aDNA samples occur minimal quantities; which represents an additional obstacle researchers have overcome order study aDNA.The earliest...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Identification genetic variants that pose risks to MS high interest since they contribute largely pathogenesis. A rich body literature associated these with HLA genes located mostly on short arm chromosome 6 (6p21). These variations may result in alteration protein function and are associated, therefore, phenotype therapy outcome. Although region has been routinely known have strongest correlation...
Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a significant threat to the health of many worldwide. The emergence AR has become main source morbidity and mortality from infections that would otherwise have been treatable. mainly caused by inappropriate use antibiotics. In United Arab Emirates (UAE), bacterial antibiotics escalating due to: a) practice self-medication with among residents UAE; b) easy procurement local pharmacies without prescription; c) expatriates’ importation their home country. present...
Background: Several studies have suggested that the next-generation biofuels could be produced from lipids stored by oleaginous fungi. In these microorganisms, are as triglycerides (biofuel precursors) converted to fatty acid mono alkyl esters. Fungal growth is very fast and not impacted seasonal, climate, space variations opposed plants animals. Fungi mangrove ecosystems significantly been studied for oil production despite being second largest group of marine Methods: present study, we...
