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. …”

Antecedents and consequences on employee turnover intention in the hospitality industry in Lebanon by Baajour, Maya

“…H1 (There is an indirect relationship between PAT and Turnover) showed a significant result that when training is available employees’ intention to leave decreases. As for H2 (AC mediates the relationship between PAT and Turnover) it was supported as AC highly mediated the relationship between these two variables; it showed then when training is available, employees tend to be more committed to their organization and their intention to leave decreased. …”
