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. …”

Multibiomass and Natural Marine Waste Catalyst Copyrolysis: Exploring Synergy, Isoconversional Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Mechanism by Sabah Mariyam (14150859)

“…Mixing the feeds led to positive synergistic effects, particularly at a heating rate of 10 K/min or higher. By employing three model-free kinetic methods, the estimated activation energy (Ea) was lower for the ternary feed than the single feeds, and 20 wt.% of the feed with SS and CB catalysts was added. …”

Solar water heating in Lebanon by Houri, Ahmad

“…Simplified initial estimates indicate a payback period of 4–5 years while advanced mathematical models (RETScreen) indicate that the most advanced evacuated tube technology has a payback period of less than 9 years at current market prices. With decreasing cost per square meter of installed collectors, payback periods are expected to rapidly decrease. …”
