A novel role for CSRP1 in a Lebanese family with both cardiac defects and polydactyly -

Kamar, Amina Ali, (2017)

Abnormal cardiac development leads to human congenital heart disease (CHD), which is responsible for the vast majority of neonates’ death around the world. Although the major cause is still unknown, CHD has several etiologies ...
Analysis of genetic diversity of Matricaria chamomilla (L.) populations in Lebanon -

Soubra, Noura Anwar, (2015)

Matricaria Chamomilla is known as the star among medicinal plants given its diverse and multiple therapeutic properties. It has been used since the old times in traditional medicine and recently found its way into modern ...
Antitumor activities of natural and synthetic retinoids in 2D and 3D human breast cancer models -

Aouad, Patrick Antoine, (2016)

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women and the second cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite recent advances in the use of chemotherapy in breast cancer management, achieving complete remission ...
Connexin 43 loss induces early signs of neoplasia in normal mammary epithelium -

Bazzoun, Dana Ahmed, (2015)

Being one of the very few organs that continue to develop and differentiate late during the lifespan of an individual, the mammary gland is a good model to study how changes in the interaction between cells and their ...
Control of adult neural stem cell properties (aNSCs) by the retinoblastoma protein, pRb -

El Hayek, Dayana Joseph, (2015)

Neurogenesis is an ongoing developmental process throughout life in the adult mammalian brain; however, adult Neural Stem Cells (aNSCs)-progenitors display a low proliferative potential and restricted differentiation ...
Effect of endotoxin challenge on normal, tumor initiated, and invasive human breast cells -

Yassine, Farah Aly, (2016)

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide, recording high incidence rates caused by risk factors associated with urbanization and economic development. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal ...
Effects of sub-lethal high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) exposure on mammary epithelial tumorigenesis and cytotoxic response to anti-neoplastic agents -

Younes, Ingrid Farid, (2014)

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a therapeutic modality that is used to destroy unwanted tissues including solid tumors inside the body. At the focal point where the acoustic waves are intensified, cell death ...
Enhancing thymoquinone’s anticancer potential by combinatorial, conjugational and nanoformulation approaches -

Fakhoury, Isabelle Hilal (2016)

Thymoquinone (TQ), is the major bioactive component of Nigella sativa black seed oil. Our laboratory has long been investigating TQ’s anticancer potential as well as its mechanism of action in both solid and non-solid ...
Investigating evolutionary transitions in Wolbachia pipientis’ propensity to induce different reproductive host phenotypes -

Houry, Carine Oussama, (2016)

The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia infects wide range of arthropods and their relatives. It is an intracellular parasite transmitted through the egg from mother to offspring. Wolbachia can spread and persist through ...
Investigation of the role of candidate genes in Drosophila melanogaster immunity by an in vivo RNAi screen -

Merhi, Rawan Monzer, (2016)

Drosophila is an excellent model organism to genetically dissect innate immune pathways without interference from the adaptive responses since insects lack adaptive immunity. The abundant genetic tools available for this ...
Mechanisms implicated in the enhanced sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells to anti-neoplastic agents post sub-lethal HIFU exposure -

Assi, Sara Ahmad, (2016)

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an ex-corporeal medical device that was first introduced in the 1940s for the treatment of neurological disorders and has been subjected to several improvements since then. It ...
Mediators of the inhibitory effect of FTY720 phosphate, an analogue of sphingosine one phosphate, on hepatic Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase -

Al-Alam, Nadine Mikhael, (2014)

An inhibitory effect of sphingosine -1- phosphate (S1P) on hepatic Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase was previously demonstrated. This work is an attempt to delineate the signaling pathway involved using its agonist FTY720P (FTY720P). HepG2 ...
Metabolism of marbled spinefoot siganus rivulatus at various oxygen and salinity concentrations -

Babikian, Jessica Vartan, (2015)

The present study was carried out to: (1) assess the oxygen requirements of juvenile Siganus rivulatus and its tolerance to short-term hypoxia, (2) establish standard metabolic rate of marbled spinefoot juveniles, (3) ...
Overview of the gut microflora in wild-caught fish at the Lebanese shore -

Jammal, Ahmad Mahmoud, (2016)

Microflora refers to the collection of live microscopic organisms that flourish inside the organs of living creatures including fishes. Bacteria living on the inner intestinal walls play an important role in digesting food, ...
Substitution of fish meal by soybean meal in diets for juvenile marbled spinefoot Siganus rivulatus -

Monzer, Samer Talaat, (2014)

The challenge of replacing fish meal protein with alternative plant protein sources in aquafeeds for cultured species is an important aspect of modern aquaculture. The present study was conducted to assess the extent to ...
The role of clip-domain serine protease homologs in A. gambiae immune responses to systemic infections -

Kamareddine, Layla Yehya, (2016)

Malaria is one of the most devastating mosquito-borne infectious diseases of humans in the tropical and subtropical regions. It is caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium which develop through several stages inside the ...
Toxoplasma gondii type II Pru and its derivative Pru∆KU80 : investigation of similarities and differences -

Karam, Martin Marcel, (2015)

Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, is an obligate intracellular parasite. The host-induced immune response to the infection dictates the ability of this parasite to switch from the acute (tachyzoite ...
