S100A4/Mts1 confers a metastatic phenotype in tumor cells and may also be related to resistance to apoptosis and angiogenesis. Approximately 5% of transgenic mice overexpressing S100A4/Mts1 develop pulmonary arterial changes resembling human plexogenic arteriopathy with...

Fourier transform mass spectrometry has recently been introduced into the field of metabolomics as a technique that enables the mass separation of complex mixtures at very high resolution and with ultra high mass accuracy. Here we show that this enhanced mass accuracy c...

Abstract The design of a transmembrane four-helix bundle is described. We start with an idealized four-helix bundle geometry, then use statistical information to build a plausible transmembrane bundle. Appropriate residues are chosen using database knowledge on the sequ...

My PhD dissertation examined discourses on Female Genital Cutting (FGC) in contemporary Egypt, particularly concerning the relation between FGC and religion. FGC is practiced by both Muslims and Christians and Egypt is among the countries with the highest prevalence rat...
