STIM1 signals through NFAT1 independently of Orai1 and SOCE to regulate breast cancer cell migration by Ayat S. Hammad (9592374)

“…SOCE has been shown to be important for breast cancer cell migration where knockdown of SOCE components (STIM1 or Orai1) decreases cancer metastasis. Here we show unexpectedly that complete knockout of STIM1 (STIM1-KO) using gene editing in metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells results in faster migration and enhanced invasion capacity. …”

Effect of Intravenous Mannitol on Intraocular Pressure Changes in Vitrectomized and Non-Vitrectomized Eyes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by HASHEM ABU SERHAN (19737499)

“…Three studies were included at 30 min and 2 studies at all other time points in the analysis. In vitrectomized eyes, notable decreases were observed: at 30 min, the Ratio of Means (ROM) was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.53; 1.24), indicating a 19% reduction; at 60 min, the ROM of 0.833 (95% CI: 0.77; 0.89) showed a 16.7% reduction; at 90 min, the ROM of 0.757 (95% CI: 0.755; 0.758) corresponded to a 24.3% reduction; at 2 h, the ROM of 0.726 (95% CI: 0.642; 0.820) reflected a 27.4% reduction; at 3 h, the ROM of 0.692 (95% CI: 0.600; 0.797) resulted in a 30.8% reduction; and at 4 h, the ROM of 0.700 (95% CI: 0.363; 1.350) indicated a 30% reduction. …”
