The Effect of Soy Isoflavones on Steroid Metabolism by Amanda C. Swart (18153814)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">SPI decreased serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels in both men and women (P < 0.01), with decreased androstenedione (A4) (P < 0.01) in women not observed in men (P < 0.86). …”

Connexin 43 Loss Triggers Cell Cycle Entry and Invasion in Non-Neoplastic Breast Epithelium: A Role for Noncanonical Wnt Signaling by Fostok, Sabreen

“…Background: The expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) is disrupted in breast cancer, and re-expression of this protein in human breast cancer cell lines leads to decreased proliferation and invasiveness, suggesting a tumor suppressive role. …”

Breast cancer cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells by Faour, Wissam H.

“…Co-cultures with either MG-63 cells or MSCs induced OPG and MMP-2 in both tumor cell lines. Interestingly, conditioned medium from co-cultures of MSCs and MDA-MB-231 cells significantly decreased the proliferation of activated T lymphocytes which was reversed by addition of anti-OPG antibodies to the co-cultures. …”

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. …”

Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns by Choy, Christine Chin

“…Most of the nanoparticles remained in the sand columns, with an increasing then decreasing retained solids pattern. Application of a one-dimensional advection–dispersion flow model, that included two empirical kinetic terms to account for particle retention in the porous media, produced data fits that followed the general trend of the data, but did not truly capture the concentration maxima in the data sets. …”
