Pleiotropic functions of the tumor- and metastasis-suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-8 in mammary cancer in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice by Julie Decock (44558)

“…In this aggressive mouse model of breast cancer, loss of MMP-8 accelerated tumor onset even further, such that 90% of MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8-null female mice were tumor-bearing at the time of weaning. Throughout the 14 weeks of the model, tumor burden increased in homozygous Mmp8-null mice compared to Mmp8-wild-type and -heterozygote animals. …”

Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

“…Using an MD_dose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %_hdem in the range of 93% - 4.3% for O/W mixtures with C_oil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ~90% for higher concentrations. The reported %R_oil(p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH 7 and C_sur0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”

Drug-free phototherapy of superficial tumors by Mehanna, Stephanie

“…While previous data proved its inherent cytotoxicity, this study is the first to explore the use of a commercially available, high-intensity white LED light (24.5 mW.cm−2) as a treatment for skin tumors. After a 9-h exposure in vitro, the viability of Human Malignant Melanoma cells (A375) decreased by around 70%. …”

OSRA Grant Cycle 5 Public Reports : Project Title: Coping with prenatal bereavement and perceived stress in current pregnancy: correlates to parental perception of the child and bo... by Pia Tohme Khalaf (17425551)

“…Research has also shown that mothers who have experienced previous prenatal loss tend to have lower prenatal attachment scores, possibly due to the inverse relationship between prenatal maternal mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, or stress) and the ability to develop a positive relationship with the child, both before and after birth. The couple's relationship quality also plays a significant role, with secure romantic attachment positively influencing prenatal attachment and promoting resilience in times of stress, while avoidant or anxious romantic attachment can lead to lower prenatal bonding and increased pregnancy-related worries.…”

A jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seed cake extracts express hepatoprotective activity against paracetamol-induced toxicity in rats by Firas Feki (17545638)

“…Two aqueous extracts from jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seed cake, a simmondsin-rich extract (WE), and a simmondsin-hydrolyzed extract (NE) using Viscozyme L enzyme have been prepared and characterized. After enzyme treatment, simmondsin content decreased from 33.0 % to 3.0 % and glucose content increased from 16.2 % to 27.3 % reflecting simmondsin hydrolysis. …”
