Geochemistry of the Greater Zab River and its Tributaries Sediments (Deraluk- Bekhme) Area, Iraqi Kurdistan Region: Implication for Provenance and Tectonic Setting

Abstract Active sediments along a 90 km section of Greater Zab River (GZR) in Kurdistan Region/ Iraq were analyzed for their major, trace, and rare earth elements contents to investigate their provenance, weathering at the source area, and tectonic setting. The enrichment of sediments with transition elements (Co, Cr, and Ni), the bivariate (Zr/Sc vs […]

Toxicity of Antiviral Remdesivir on Human Liver’s ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily D Member 3 Transporters in COVID-19 Patients

Summary      The World Health Organization advises against using the antiviral Remdesivir medication for treating severe COVID-19 infections due to its potential toxicity. The efficacy and toxicity of many medications are influenced by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which play a significant role in the transport of several drugs used to treat numerous disorders. Therefore, this

Evaluation of Advanced Glycation End Products and Oxidative Status in Atherosclerosis Patients on Lipid-Lowering Drugs

Summary Cardiovascular disease is the main reason for mortality in developed and developing nations. Atherosclerosis is the major source of morbidity and mortality, more people died in the Kurdistan region of cardiovascular diseases. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), such as Nε-(carboxymethyl)-lysine (CML) and pentosidine (PTD) are implicated in vascular disease. This study aims to investigate

Enhancement of Natural Killer Cell Function Via Adding T Cell Phenotypes and Genetic Engineering of Chimeric Receptor Single Chain Gene Constructs

SUMMARY Unlike T cells, Natural Killer (NK) cells are negative for T cell receptors (TCRs). The functional TCR complex protein consists of TCRαβ chains and downstream signaling subunits of CD3δ, CD3γ, CD3ε and CD3ζ chains. T cells are positive for all, while NK cells lack all these polypeptides except CD3ζ. NK92 cells were transduced by
