Sesamum indicum (sesame) enhances NK anti-cancer activity, modulates Th1/Th2 balance, and suppresses macrophage inflammatory response
Majdalawieh, Amin; Farraj, Jenna F.; Carr, Ronald I. (Medknow, 2020)To evaluate the potential immunomodulatory effects of an aqueous extract of Sesamum indicum seeds with regard to splenocyte proliferation, Th1/Th2 balance, macrophage function, and the cytotoxic activity of natural killer ... -
Stromal Adipocyte Enhancer-binding Protein (AEBP1) Promotes Mammary Epithelial Cell Hyperplasia via Proinflammatory and Hedgehog Signaling
Holloway, Ryan W.; Bogachev, Oleg; Bharadwaj, Alamelu G.; McCluske, Greg D.; Majdalawieh, Amin; Zhang, Lei; Ro, Hyo-Sung (Elsevier, 2012)Disruption of mammary stromal-epithelial communication leads to aberrant mammary gland development and induces mammary tumorigenesis. Macrophages have been implicated in carcinogenesis primarily by creating an inflammatory ... -
The trans-10, cis-12 isomer of conjugated linoleic acid decreases adiponectin assembly by PPARγ-dependent and PPARγ-independent mechanisms
Miller, Jessica R.; Siripurkpong, Pilaiwan; Hawes, Jennifer; Majdalawieh, Amin; Ro, Hyo-Sung; McLeod, Roger S. (Elsevier, 2008)The adipocyte-derived secretory protein adiponectin functions as an insulin-sensitizing agent. In plasma, adiponectin exists as low, medium, and high molecular weight oligomers. Treatment with trans-10, cis-12 conjugated ... -
Use of A Hydroalcoholic Extract of Moringa oleifera Leaves for the Green Synthesis of Bismuth Nanoparticles and Evaluation of Their Anti-Microbial and Antioxidant Activities
Das, Prince Edwin; Majdalawieh, Amin; Abu-Yousef, Imad; Narasimhan, Srinivasan; Poltronieri, Palmiro (MDPI, 2020)The employment of plant extracts in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a very attractive approach in the field of green synthesis. To benefit from the potential synergy between the biological activities of the Moringa ... -
Validation of a Novel Fluorescent Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Total Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD Binding Antibody Units (BAU) from Plasma or Fingerstick Whole-Blood of COVID-19 Vaccinees
Younes, Nadin; Al-Sadeq, Duaa W.; Shurrab, Farah M.; Zedan, Hadeel T.; Abou-Saleh, Haissam; Abo-Halawa, Bushra Y.; AlHamaydeh, Fatima M.; Elsharafi, Amira E.; Daas, Hanin I.; Thomas, Swapna; Aboalmaaly, Sahar; Al Farsi, Afra; Al-Buainain, Reeham; Ataelmannan, Samar; Paul, Jiji; Al Saadi, Amana Salih; Yassine, Hadi M.; Majdalawieh, Amin; Ismail, Ahmed; Abu-Raddad, Laith J.; Nasrallah, Gheyath K. (MDPI, 2022)Background: Limited commercial LFA assays are available to provide a reliable quantitative measurement of the total binding antibody units (BAU/mL) against the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-RBD). ...
