Hereditary retinal degenerations represent a leading cause of blindness with genetic defects that affect millions globally. This study aimed to explore novel gene therapy strategies to address these debilitating conditions. We employed adeno-associat...
Synaptic plasticity, a fundamental mechanism underlying learning and memory, is modulated by a variety of cellular and molecular processes. Recent studies suggest that astrocytes, through calcium signaling, play a crucial role in regulating synaptic ...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a prominent opportunistic pathogen responsible for severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. The bacterium's ability to evade host immune responses is a significant factor in its pathogenicity. This stud...
The human gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining metabolic health, yet its diversity is influenced by various cultural and dietary factors. This study explores the relationship between microbiome diversity and metabolic health across diff...
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the immune system's aberrant response to self-antigens, leading to tissue damage and chronic inflammation. Despite extensive research, the precise mechanisms underlying self-antigen recognition remain poorly u...
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) are characterized by progressive synaptic loss and cognitive decline. Understanding the molecular underpinnings of synaptic vulnerability in AD is crucial for developing effective therapies. Th...
Patients' views on healthcare service delivery are often overlooked in developing countries like Lebanon. Traditionally seen as passive beneficiaries, patients' perceptions of service quality and satisfaction can provide valuable insights for healthc...
