An Actuated Variable-View Rigid Scope System to Assist Visualization in Diagnostic Procedures by Sofia Basha (17773161)

“…This requires an intuitive mechanism to allow an operator to easily understand the anatomical surroundings and smoothly adjust the scope’s focus during diagnosis. To address this challenge, the objective of this work is to develop a mechanized arm that assists in visualization using variable-view rigid scopes during diagnostic procedures.…”

Notch Signaling Inhibition by LY411575 Attenuates Osteoblast Differentiation and Decreased Ectopic Bone Formation Capacity of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells by Nihal AlMuraikhi (6002234)

“…Among the tested molecules, LY411575, a potent γ-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblastic differentiation of hBMSCs manifested by reduced ALP activity, mineralized matrix formation, and decreased osteoblast-specific gene expression as well as in vivo ectopic bone formation. …”

Kefir exhibits anti‑proliferative and pro‑apoptotic effects on colon adenocarcinoma cells with no significant effects on cell migration and invasion by Khoury, Nathalie

“…Our data suggest that kefir is able to inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in HT‑29 and Caco‑2 CRC cells, yet it does not exhibit a significant effect on the motility and invasion of these cells in vitro.…”
