The Antioxidant and Pro-apoptotic effects of Sternbergia clusiana Bulb Ethanolic Extract on Breast Cancer Cells in vitro by El Samarji, Mona

“…Among the various Amaryllidaceae species, Sternbergia clusiana has been recently given a great amount of attention in the medicinal field due to its richness in small chemical molecules, namely Amaryllidaceae alkaloids; these have been reported to possess an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role, in addition to a prominent anti-cancer effect on different types of cancer cell lines. The current study investigates the selective anti-proliferative effect of Sternbergia clusiana bulb ethanolic extract (SbBEE) on breast cancer cells cultured in vitro (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and reveals the underlying mechanism responsible for the induction of cell death. …”

Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants by Poullikkas, Andreas

“…Thus, there is significant efficiency gains to be realized and large cost savings in increasing the turbine size up to 50MWe. Finally, although the cost of electricity of a CSP plant with capacities greater than 1MWe is significantly reduced to less than 1US$/kWh, currently such technology can only become economically viable through supporting schemes.…”

Investigating The Efficacy of Ruxolitinib and CHIR-99021 in Targeting Pediatric Neuroblastoma Stem Cells by Al Sayyed, Fatima

“…In this study, we investigate the efficacy of two small molecules Ruxolitinib, a JAK/STAT inhibitor, and CHIR-99021, a GSK-3 inhibitor, in targeting pediatric neuroblastoma stem cells by testing them on human MYC-N amplified, IMR-32, and non-MYC-N amplified, SK-N-SH, cell lines. Treating neuroblastoma cells with Ruxolitinib and CHIR-99021 resulted in significant reduction in cellular proliferation, viability, apoptosis and tumorsphere formation capacity in both IMR-32 and SK-N-SH cell lines. …”

In vitro ischemia suppresses hypoxic induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by inhibition of synthesis and not enhanced degradation by Sleiman, Sama F.

“…We validated the use of a reporter containing the oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1α fused to firefly luciferase (ODD-luc) to monitor quantitatively distinct biochemical events leading to hypoxic HIF-1α expression or stabilization in a human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). When OGD was imposed following a 2-hr hypoxic stabilization of ODD-luc, the levels of the reporter were reduced, consistent with prior models proposing that OGD enhances HIF prolylhydroxylase (PHD) activity. …”

Maternal Body Mass Index and Recommended Gestational Weight Gain in a Middle Eastern Setting by Tawa Olukade (11619453)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The mean maternal age was 29.7 ± 5.5 years, prepregnancy BMI was 27.5 ± 5.8 kg/m2, GWG was 9.58 kg ± 6.87 kg and gestational age at birth was 38.5 ± 1.9 weeks. In line with IOM recommendations, we found that higher BMI was correlated with decreased GWG and BMI was significantly associated with GWG even after adjusting for maternal age, parity, and infants’ gestational age at birth. …”
