Being one of the very few organs that continue to develop and differentiate late during the lifespan of an individual, the mammary gland is a good model to study how changes in the interaction between cells and their ...
The signaling pathways through which connexin (Cx) proteins, the building blocks of gap junctions (GJs), exert their tumor suppressive roles in the mammary gland remain elusive. The Wnt signaling pathways, including the ...
Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) is crucial for establishing coor dinated regulation of physiological processes such as proliferation, differentia tion and tissue morphogenesis. Aberrant GJIC is linked to ...
Many studies have classified cancer in the category of connexin-related pathologies. Addressing the role of connexins (Cx) in breast cancer progression has yielded contradictory results. In order to investigate the role ...
This thesis presents the theory of clientelism (also known in the Middle East as wasta or patronage) and applies it to the solid waste management policies in Le banon. A common perception in the region is that clientelism ...
Lebanon experienced an ongoing set of adversities, from the economic crisis, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic, to the Beirut port explosion, all in one year span. All these events represent grand challenges in which ...
Post-invasion Baghdad has undergone excessive processes of militarization of its urban spaces altering the pre-war way of life. As the power relations between the two main constituencies of the city, Sunni and Shia, have ...
This thesis seeks to test the widely accepted arguments that self-help physical consolidation of dwellings (gradual structural solidification and improvement) i s always desired by dwellers and beneficial in terms of ...
