Competition vs cooperation: An agent based model for sustainable tomatoes’ import system by Sarah Namany (17268922)

“…Based on the research findings, a competitive global market can bring economic benefits to Qatar as an importing nation, but this approach also entails substantial <u>water consumption</u> and results in significant environmental emissions. Conversely, collaboration among exporting countries demonstrates a potential 20% reduction in water usage and a 15% decrease in environmental emissions compared to the competitive scenario, offering enhanced environmental performance albeit at<u> higher economic costs</u>. …”

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

“…Using quantitative real-time RT-PCR, we tracked the expression of the entire Mmp and Timp gene families, observing a significant decrease in Mmp3 expression in Mmp8-null tumors compared to wild-type and heterozygotes throughout the time course of the model, which was confirmed at the protein level. …”

Targeting solid tumor cells with novel photosensitive ruthenium-based metal-organic compounds. (c2016) by Farhat, Stephanie Roy

“…The bis-bidentate complexes tested were four: Ru-I: [Ru(II)(1,10-phenanthroline)2Cl2]; Ru-II: [Ru(II)(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)2Cl2]; Ru-III: [Ru(II)(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-disulfonate)2Na2]2+ and Ru-IV: [Ru(II)(2,2'-bipyridine)2Cl2], along with their corresponding free ligands L-I, L-II, L-III and L-IV, respectively. Ru-II showed significant potency on most of the cell lines tested (5 out of 6), as well as Ru-I on two of them while the others were inert. …”

Novel role of BRCA1 interacting C‐terminal helicase 1 (<i>BRIP1</i>) in breast tumour cell invasion by Balsam Rizeq (14779402)

“…Although <i>BRIP1</i> regulates DNA repair and cell proliferation, the precise role of <i>BRIP1</i> in BC cell invasion/metastasis has not been explored yet; this prompted us to test the hypothesis that <i>BRIP1</i> promotes BC cell proliferation and invasion. Using a combination of cellular and molecular approaches, our results revealed differential overexpression of <i>BRIP1</i> in different BC cell lines. …”

Enhanced cellular uptake and photochemotherapeutic potential of a lipophilic strained Ru(II) polypyridyl complex by Mehanna, Stephanie
