Oxidative and transition metal stress response
Virulence

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis, is one of the leading infectious agents worldwide with a high rate of mortality. Following aerosol inhalation, M. tuberculosis primarily infects the alveolar macrophages, which results in a host immune response that gradually activates various antimicrobial mechanisms, including the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), within the phagocytes to neutralize the bacteria. OxyR is the master regulator of oxidative stress response in several bacterial species. However, due to the absence of a functional oxyR locus in M. tuberculosis, the peroxidase stress is controlled by alkylhydroperoxidases. M. tuberculosis expresses alkylhydroperoxide reductase to counteract the toxic effects of ROS. In the current study, we report the functional characterization of an orthologue of alkylhydroperoxidase family member, Rv2159c, a conserved protein with putative peroxidase activity, during stress response and virulence of M. tuberculosis. We generated a gene knockout mutant of M. tuberculosis Rv2159c (MtbΔ2159) by specialized transduction. The MtbΔ2159 was sensitive to oxidative stress and exposure to toxic transition metals. In a human monocyte (THP-1) cell infection model, MtbΔ2159 showed reduced intracellular survival and increased expression of pro-inflammatory molecules, including IL-1β, IP-10 and MIP-1α, compared to the wild type M. tuberculosis and Rv2159c-complemented MtbΔ2159 strains. Similarly, in a guinea pig model of pulmonary infection, MtbΔ2159 displayed growth attenuation in the lungs, compared to the wild type M. tuberculosis and Rv2159c-complemented MtbΔ2159 strains. Our study suggests that Rv2159c has a significant role in maintaining the cellular homeostasis during stress and virulence of M. tuberculosis.

description: Spinal cord injury, specifically in the cervical C3-C4 region of the cervical spine, contributes to impaired breathing and a diminished quality of life. Therefore it is important to find effective and safe therapeutics to restore breathing function. Indeed, there are a myriad of research being performed in addition to valuable collaboration amongst different institutions. As such, inspired by a previous experiment, we decided to test our hypothesis that an enriching environment consisting of different hypoxic environments - sustained and intermittent hypoxia alongside normoxia - would result in neurite outgrowth. Moreover, we hypothesized that sustained hypoxia would result in the greatest neurite outgrowth, followed by intermittent hypoxia. Lastly, we predicted that normoxia would result in the smallest amount of neurite outgrowth. We tested this hypothesis first in-vivo by placing female, retired breeder rats (n=3) in sustained or intermittent hypoxia or normoxia conditions for a period of 2 hours and 32 minutes. This was followed by dorsal root ganglion (DRG) culturing, plating, and fixing. Notably, because the premise of this experiment is a hybrid of both an in-vivo and in-vitro (specifically an ex-plant) we cannot, with accuracy, state that the growths are of axonal in nature. As such, we will refer them to as neurite. We used NeuronJ to manually trace and measure neurite outgrowth. In addition, we also utilized the Sholl analysis to better understand neurite arborization and their location in relation to the soma. We conclude that, interestingly, normoxia resulted in the greatest neurite outgrowth, followed by intermittent hypoxia and lastly by sustained hypoxia. As such, this experiment augments others experiments that show the promising therapeutic effects of intermittent hypoxia in restoring breathing function whether it is through enhancement of the crossed phrenic pathway or increased serotonergic receptor activation.

description: Biological data and knowledge bases are increasingly relying on Semantic Web technologies and the use of knowledge graphs for data integration, retrieval and federated queries. Over the last decade, feature learning methods that are applicable to graph-structured data are becoming available, but have not yet widely been applied and evaluated on structured biological knowledge. In this thesis, we have developed a novel method for feature learning on biological knowledge graphs. Our method combines symbolic methods, in particular knowledge representation using symbolic logic and automated reasoning, with neural networks to generate node representations (embeddings) that encode for related information within knowledge graphs. Through the use of symbolic logic, we have shown that these embeddings contain both explicit and implicit information. We have applied these embeddings to the prediction of edges in the knowledge graph representing problems of function prediction, finding candidate genes of diseases, protein-protein interactions, or drug target relations. Similarly, we have learned and applied our embeddings to the prediction of disease comorbidities in an additional knowledge graph designed for this purpose and centered on disease instances. Importantly, our approach have demonstrated a performance that matches and sometimes outperforms traditional approaches based on manually crafted features. Interestingly, our method can be applied to any biological knowledge graph, and will thereby open up the increasing amount of Semantic Web based knowledge databases in biology and will expand its usage in machine learning and data analytics.

description: Personal finance, from Shari’ah perspective, is a benevolent provision that should not be offered by Islamic financial institutions for a profit. There are different motives for PF whether on individual, corporate, financial institution or government levels and genuine needs for cash may arise under specific circumstances. Current instruments used by Islamic banks to provide PF have Shari’ah issues and serious implications and effects on the economy apart from the resulting reputational risk for the industry. This thesis is an attempt to explore and present Shari’ah-compliant alternative instruments that fulfil the needs for which PF is usually given. Four profit-based instruments are discussed: (1) Service Ijarah, (2) Murabahah/Service Ijarah Line-of-Credit with Wakalah, (3) Musharakah Line-of-Credit and (4) Murabahah/Service Ijarah Credit Card. Through these instruments, most cash needs are fulfilled whether for individuals, corporations, financial institutions or governments. Cash Waqf fund should be activated as a non-profit based instrument for PF. The study investigates lending cash through operationalization of cash as a PF instrument, especially for individuals, within a banking context and its potential advantages and disadvantages are examined. The Cash Waqf instrument is restricted to fulfill only those needs which cannot be met through other Shari’ah compliant profit-based contracts. IBs have adequate tools to provide PF within the boundaries of Shari’ah particularly for retail customers and corporates and they do not need to resort to controversial tools that only mimic interest-based loans. Enhanced research and development initiatives will help the IF industry come up with innovative solutions within Shari’ah boundaries.

description: This thesis studies Customer satisfaction in Islamic banks in Qatar in comparison with their conventional counterpart. It attempt to investigate whether Islamic banks have overcome the obstacle of being relatively new compared to conventional banks, whether they started providing satisfying services to their customers or whether they act as taking advantage of their customers’ needs for Islamic finance products and treat them as captive clients who resort to Islamic banks for religious reasons ad actually don’t give much attention to the level of services provided. Questions like this needs to be answered to identify where do Qatari Islamic banks stand and how do their customers view their services. Also, what kind of improvements they need to reach a higher level of customer satisfaction. A comprehensive comparison questionnaire was formulated, responses from the questionnaire and other data collected from banks’ websites, personal interviews, lists of service charges, etc., analyzed and reviewed. The study conducted sub-sectoral comparisons of Islamic and conventional banking as well as individual comparisons between banks. The results show that customers of conventional banks indicated higher level of satisfaction than the level shown by customers of Islamic banks. The best performing bank according to the index in conventional banks and in general is the commercial bank followed by Doha bank, while the best performing bank in Islamic banks category is QIB. The lowest performing of all 8 banks is AL Ahli bank followed by QIIB. QIIB is also the lowest performing bank among the four Islamic banks with a significant difference from the best performing bank.

description: These days the importance and significance of regional architectural identity has become a current issue. Regionalism is the belief that an architectural work should reflect the characteristics of the region in which it is located. In other words, Regionalism should be the passage for both technology and culture. Unfortunately, in Doha, is struggling with the idea of globalization, and the contradiction in architectural style and appearances. The new buildings (towers and houses) of Doha are trying to represent the modern architecture phenomena; modernity that is associated with westernized manifestation. This modern architecture in the western sense means imposing structure, lacking relevance and ignoring local architecture characteristics. Thus, the disappearances of building traditions have been considered to be something positive. In other words, abandoning the past has become the trend of the current lifestyle. The main objectives of this thesis are to acknowledge and critically analyze the architectural characteristics of The Mosque of Imam Mohammed Abdul-Wahhab. As well, evaluate the success of the mosque of Imam Abdul-Wahhab in achieving the goal of integrating regionalism with modernism to create new identity for the city.

description: As climate change progresses, it is crucial that researchers and policymakers understand the ways in which climate-mental health risks arise through interactions between climate hazards, human exposure and social vulnerabilities across time and location. This scoping review systematically examined the nature, range and extent of published research in North America that investigates climate-mental health interactions. Five electronic databases were searched and two independent reviewers applied pre-determined criteria to assess the eligibility of articles identified in the search. Eighty-nine articles were determined to be relevant and underwent data extraction and analysis. The published literature reported on numerous exposure pathways through which acute and chronic climate hazards interacted with social vulnerabilities to increase mental health risks, including wellbeing, trauma, anxiety, depression, suicide and substance use. This review also highlights important gaps within the North American climate-mental health evidence base, including minimal research conducted in Mexico, as well as a lack of studies investigating climate-mental health adaptation strategies and projected future mental health risks. Further research should support effective preparation for and adaptation to the current and future mental health impacts of climate change. Such strategies could reduce health risks and the long-term mental health impacts that individuals and communities experience in a changing climate.

description: RMC researchers Dr. Heath Prince and Ashweeta Patnaik have completed the baseline analysis for the four-year impact evaluation of Nuru International’s programming in Nigeria. The overarching goal of Nuru Nigeria is to equip rural, vulnerable households to improve livelihoods and build resilience capacities to cope with conflict, environmental, economic, and social shocks and stressors for stability and prosperity. The goal of the multi-year impact evaluation is to study, through a development economics lens, how Nuru’s anti-poverty interventions in Nigeria impact resiliency to shocks. A cluster randomization approach was used to randomly assign two wards to the intervention group and two wards to the comparison group. Statistical methods designed for improving inter-group comparability were applied at baseline to bring the intervention and comparison group participants as closely into balance as possible. A difference-in-differences statistical technique will be used to estimate program impact annually and at endline. The impact evaluation utilizes a mixed-method approach with both quantitative and qualitative components, including a household survey, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. The evaluation design, baseline data, and the covariate balancing methods applied to the baseline data place the project on a solid footing for rigorous impact analyses at midline and endline.

The Center’s experience and expertise supports Nuru’s work in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria by demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of its integrated approach to addressing poverty. The integrated Nuru model seeks to address four key areas of need: 1) food insecurity, 2) inability to cope with economic shocks, 3) unnecessary disease and death, and 4) lack of quality education for children. In Ethiopia and Kenya, Nuru M&E utilizes a quasi-experimental design with the intent of measuring the effectiveness of the four impact programs as well as the overarching impact of these programs on multidimensional poverty. By following a panel of farmers from a non-intervention group as well as the same cohort of Nuru households over time, Nuru M&E evaluates whether or not any observed changes in well-being can be attributed to Nuru programming. Additionally, M&E analyzes key performance indicators to ensure programs track toward their goals. Since 2017, RMC researchers have been responsible for carrying out data analyses for the Nuru M&E team and studying the outcomes and impacts of Nuru’s programming in Ethiopia. Findings from the analyses are used by the Nuru M&E team to inform program planning and decision making. In this report, RMC researchers present results from an outcomes and impact analysis of Nuru’s Rural Livelihoods, Health, and Education programs in Ethiopia in 2018.

Tumor angiogenesis. From bench to bedside
Creators: name: Ribatti, Domenico
name: Nico, Beatrice
Publisher: name: Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology
Year: 2016
Subjects: angiogenesis; anti-angiogenesis; tumor progression

description: Starting with the hypothesis of Judah Folkman that tumor growth is angiogenesis dependent, this area of research has a solid scientific foundation. More than 30 years ago, Folkman found a revolutionary new way to think about cancer. He postulated that in order to survive and grow, tumors require blood vessels and that by cutting off the blood supply a cancer could be starved into remission. Several clinical studies have shown a positive correlation between the number of vessels in the tumor, metastasis formation and prognosis. The genetic instability of tumor cells permits the occurrence of multiple genetic alterations that facilitate tumor progression and metastasis, and cell clones with diverse biological aggressiveness may coexist within the same tumor. These two properties allow tumors to acquire resistance to cytotoxic agents. Inhibiting angiogenesis is a major area of therapeutic development for the treatment of cancer. Whereas conventional chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy are directed against tumor cells, anti-angiogenic therapy is aimed at the vasculature of a tumor and will either cause total tumor regression or keep tumors in a state of dormancy. Even though numerous compounds inhibit angiogenesis, few of them have proved effective in vivo, and only a couple of agents have been able to induce tumor regression. Bevacizumab is considered to be the first specific angiogenesis inhibitor for clinical oncology.

description: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer site in women (28.8% of all cancer sites), the second most common in the world with an estimated 1.67 million new cases diagnosed in 2012 (25% of all cancers) and an estimated lifetime risk of 1/9 women. It is the fifth cause of tumor death overall (7.5%) and the first in women. Diagnostic senology has the purpose of the early diagnosis of breast cancer. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the role of all imaging techniques in studying the normal morphological anatomy of the breast. Knowing the normal anatomy of the breast is essential to integrate all available imaging techniques in order to distinguish normal from pathological structures.

description: The weaponization of migration has emerged as a key tactic in hybrid warfare, allowing states to exert political pressure and destabilize rivals. Europe's vulnerability to migration crises has been exploited by various actors, including Libya, Turkey, Belarus, and Russia. Libya's Muammar Gaddafi used migration threats to negotiate political concessions, while Turkey leveraged refugee flows for financial and diplomatic gains. In 2021, Belarus orchestrated a border crisis to retaliate against EU sanctions, exposing European divisions. Russia, through its influence in conflict zones, has indirectly fueled migration pressures on Europe. These cases highlight the broader challenge of balancing security, humanitarian commitments, and EU solidarity. This analysis explores the legal and political implications of migration as a weapon, assesses Europe's current strategies, and outlines potential policy responses to mitigate future threats. As geopolitical instability persists, Europe must adopt a resilient, coordinated approach to prevent migration crises from undermining its stability.

Osteoimmunology represents a link between skeletal and immune system

description: There is a complex interplay between the cells of the immune system and bone. These interactions are not only mediated by the release of cytokines and chemokines but also by direct cell–cell contact. Studies of intracellular signaling mechanisms in osteoclasts have revealed that numerous immunomodulatory molecules are involved in the regulation of bone metabolism. Recently, it was proposed that immunoreceptors found in the immune cells are also an essential signal for osteoclasts activation, along with receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand (RANKL). Collectively, these and similar observations regarding cross-regulation between the immune and skeletal systems constitute the field of osteoimmunology. Here we briefly highlight core areas of interest and selected recent advances in this field.
