Alternative Splicing and Its Impact as a Cancer Diagnostic Marker [PDF]
Most genes are processed by alternative splicing for gene expression, resulting in the complexity of the transcriptome in eukaryotes. It allows a limited number of genes to encode various proteins with intricate functions.

The Neoplasia as embryological phenomenon and its implication in the animal evolution and the origin of cancer. I. A presentation of the neoplastic process and its connection with cell fusion and germline formation [PDF]
The decisive role of Embryology in understanding the evolution of animal forms is founded and deeply rooted in the history of science. It is recognized that the emergence of multicellularity would not have been possible without the formation of the first embryo.

Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles [PDF]
The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined

Transformation Locked in a Loop [PDF]
During neoplastic transformation, cells can promote their own growth by activating proto-oncogenes. Reporting in Cell, Iliopoulos et al. (2009) now show that in certain cell types, a transient oncogenic signal is sufficient to induce neoplastic ...

Gli1 deletion prevents Helicobacter-induced gastric metaplasia and expansion of myeloid cell subsets. [PDF]
Chronic inflammation in the stomach induces metaplasia, the pre-cancerous lesion that precedes inflammation-driven neoplastic transformation. While Hedgehog signaling contributes to the initiation of some cancers, its role in gastric transformation ...

The role of E-cadherin in neoplastic evolution of epithelial cells
Interaction of the extracellular domains of the transmembrane proteins cadherins provides cell-cell adhesion. For many years epithelial E- cadherin was regarded as a tumor suppressor and was used as a prognostic marker in cancer.

Study of biomarkers of transformation in cell culture as criteria for assessing the carcinogenic potential of chemicals [PDF]
Summary Objectives. Tests for neoplastic cell transformation imitate some of the in vivo steps of multi-stage carcinogenesis process and can detect both genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens in vitro.
