Iraq, including the investigated watershed, has endured destructive floods and drought due to precipitation variability in recent years.Protecting susceptible areas from flooding and ensuring water supply is essential for maintaining basic human needs, agricultural production, and industry development.Therefore, locating and constructing storage st
Lipoprotein(a) and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention across Diverse Populations
Abstract Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a highly proatherogenic lipid fraction that is genetically determined and minimally responsive to lifestyle or behavior changes.Mendelian randomization studies have suggested a causal link between elevated Lp(a) and heart disease, stroke, HAT and aortic stenosis.There is substantial inter-ethnic variation in Lp(a)
Visualizing Vpr-induced G2 arrest and apoptosis.
Vpr is an accessory protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with multiple functions.The induction of G2 arrest by Vpr plays a particularly important role in efficient viral replication because the transcriptional activity of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat is most active in G2 phase.The regulation of apoptosis by Vpr is also important
The Beneficial Role of Retinoids in Glomerular Disease
The primary etiology of CKD is a direct consequence of initial dysfunction and injury of the glomerulus, the main filtration system.Podocytes are terminally differentiated epithelial cells in the glomerulus, whose major function is the maintenance of this renal filtration barrier.Podocyte injury is implicated in many glomerular diseases including F
