What is the meaning of neoplastic disease?
Neoplasia is the abnormal growth and proliferation of abnormal cells or abnormal amounts of cells due to a benign or malignant process. There can be benign tumors, or neoplasms, and malignant ones. Remember that it's the malignant tumors, or cancer, that can metastasize, which is when cancer spreads around the body. Leukemia is used for lymphoid neoplasms presenting with widespread involvement ...

Modified bacteria produce tetanus toxin, which is utilized to treat fatal pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor of the digestive tract that is difficult to diagnose and treat, and the morbidity and mortality rates have risen dramatically in recent years. Pancreatic cancer is at an advanced stage when diagnosed when cancer cells have spread and are hard to control. The most frequent pancreatic cancer is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), accounting for ...

CD Genomics Perspective: NGS-Based Gene Panels for Cancer Research
IntroductionTumorigenesis involves in many somatic mutations, most of which are random. Generally, hundreds of genes are thought to be associated with oncogenesis progression and have high mutation rates. Digging deeper into the cancer genome can help to understand the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis and provide guidance for the prevention, treatment and prognosis strategies. The main ...

New Breast Imaging Technology: The Koning Difference
Revolutionizing breast cancer detection Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women.1 It is also treatable if detected early enough. While there are various cancer detection modalities available, current breast imaging devices fail to expose as much as 35% of breast cancers and that number increases to ...

Derivation of low-dose extrapolation factors from analysis of curvature in the cancer incidence dose response in Japanese A-bomb survivors
The derivation of cancer risks after low-dose and low-dose-rate exposure to ionising radiation is critical to the setting of standards for radiological protection. In extrapolating cancer risks observed in groups exposed at a high dose-rate such as the Japanese A-bomb survivors, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends application of a Dose and Dose-Rate ...

Introduction to Protein N-glycosylation
Glycosylation is one of the most important protein post-translational modifications in organisms, occurring in 50%-70% of proteins in cells. It is associated with many diseases as it can affect essential life activities, such as cell recognition, differentiation, adhesion, signal transduction, and immune response. Immune diseases, congenital sugar defects, and dozens of genetic diseases, as well ...

Protein Acetylation and Ubiquitination Interactions Control MCL1 Protein Stability
The anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) protein belongs to the BCL2 family that supports survival and is frequently amplified or upregulated in human cancers. MCL1 is highly unstable and its stability is regulated by phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Here, the authors suggest that acetylation is another key post-translational modification that regulates MCL1 protein instability. The ...

Unveiling the Role of CD73: A Key Player in Immune Regulation and Beyon
What is CD73? CD73, also known as ecto-5′-nucleotidase, is a groundbreaking immunoinhibitory protein that assumes a pivotal role in tumor growth and metastasis. Its primary function revolves around converting extracellular ATP into immunosuppressive adenosine, working in tandem with CD39 within normal tissues to curtail excessive immune reactions. However, this mechanism is often hijacked ...
