Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers of myocardial infarction
(2023)
Abstract:
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encompass a family of ubiquitous RNA molecules that lack protein-coding potential and have tissue-specific expression. A significant body of evidence indicates that ncRNA’s aberrant ...
Activity-Dependent Non-Coding RNA MAPK Interactome of the Human Epileptic Brain
(2023)
Abstract:
The human brain has evolved to have extraordinary capabilities, enabling complex behaviors. The uniqueness of the human brain is increasingly posited to be due in part to the functions of primate-specific, ...
Insights into Synonymous Codon Usage Bias in Hepatitis C Virus and Its Adaptation to Hosts
(2023)
Abstract:
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is enveloped RNA virus, encoding for a polyprotein that is processed by cellular proteases. The virus is responsible for liver cirrhosis, allograft rejection, and human hepatocellular ...

(2023)
Purpose:
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of self-reported polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among Emiratis and examine bi-directional associations of PCOS with self-reported chronic diseases, namely: diabetes, ...
A Rare Case of Primary Mycobacterium tuberculosis Myositis of the Thigh in an Immunocompetent Infant
(2023)
Abstract:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection is a serious health condition that affects individuals of all age groups. Although MTB infections are more common in immunocompromised patients, they are frequently ...
A Synthetic Biology Approach for Vaccine Candidate Design against Delta Strain of SARS-CoV-2 Revealed Disruption of Favored Codon Pair as a Better Strategy over Using Rare Codons
(2023)
Abstract:
The SARS-CoV-2 delta variant (B.1.617.2) appeared for the first time in December 2020 and later spread worldwide. Currently available vaccines are not so efficacious in curbing the viral pathogenesis of the ...
Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Its Cardioprotective Abilities: A Systematic Review
(2023)
Abstract:
Despite the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) being used in neuroscience, it has recently been highlighted that it has cardioprotective functions. However, many studies related to VNS are not mechanistic in nature. ...
Potentially Zoonotic Viruses in Wild Rodents, United Arab Emirates, 2019—A Pilot Study
(2023)
Abstract:
The majority of emerging viral infectious diseases in humans originate from wildlife reservoirs, such as rodents and bats. We investigated a possible reservoir, namely wild gerbils and mice trapped in a desert ...
Peptidomic analysis of the host-defense peptides in skin secretions of the Amazon River frog Lithobates palmipes (Ranidae)
(2023)
Abstract:
Skin secretions of certain frog species represent a source of host-defense peptides (HDPs) with therapeutic potential and their primary structures provide insight into taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships. ...
