The mechanism of action of kefir and its effect on the motility of breast and colorectal cancer cells. (c2013) by Khoury, Nathalie El

“…In this study, we aim to determine a possible mechanism of action of kefir and to study its effect on the motility of colorectal and breast cancer cell lines. Results from the reverse-transcription PCR experiment have shown that kefir decreases the expression of TGF-α and TGF-β1 in HT-29 cells in a dose dependent manner. …”

Basin of Attraction through Invariant Curves and Dominant Functions by Al-Sharawi, Ziyad

“…We study a second-order difference equation of the form ₙ₊₁= ₙ(ₙ₋₁) + ℎ, where both () and () are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves at ℎ = 1 and use it to characterize the behaviour of solutions when ℎ > 1 and when 0 < ℎ < 1.The case ℎ > 1 is related to the Y2K problem. …”
