Cellular Phenotype Plasticity in Cancer Dormancy and Metastasis [PDF]

Frontiers in Oncology, 2018
Cancer dormancy is a period of cancer progression in which residual tumor cells exist, but clinically remain asymptomatic for a long time, as well as resistant to conventional chemo- and radiotherapies.

Epigenetic conservation infers that colorectal cancer progenitors retain the phenotypic plasticity of normal colon [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Plasticity, or the ability to rapidly and reversibly change phenotypes, may help explain how a single progenitor cell eventually generates a tumor with many different cell phenotypes.

The Application of the Geometric Morphometric Technique in Evaluating Sexual Dimorphism in the Body Shape of Aphaniops Hormozensis from Mehran and Shur Rivers (Hormozgan Basin) [PDF]

تاکسونومی و بیوسیستماتیک, 2020
During 2018-2019, to investigate the sexual dimorphism in the body shape and morphological variations of Aphaniops hormozensis inhabiting in Mehran and Shur rivers of the Hormozgan basin using the geometric morphometric method, 80 specimens were ...

Role of vascular smooth muscle cell clonality in atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. While many cell types contribute to the growing atherosclerotic plaque, the vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) is a major contributor due in part to its remarkable ...

Estimating the Differences of Light Capture Between Rows Based on Functional-Structural Plant Model in Simultaneous Maize-Soybean Strip Intercropping

智慧农业, 2022
Intercropping creates a heterogeneous canopy and triggers plastic responses in plant growth and structural development. In order to quantify the effect of planting pattern, strip width and row position on the structural development and light capture of ...

Targeting drug‐tolerant cells: A promising strategy for overcoming acquired drug resistance in cancer cells

MedComm, 2023
Drug resistance remains the greatest challenge in improving outcomes for cancer patients who receive chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Surmounting evidence suggests that a subpopulation of cancer cells could escape intense selective drug treatment by ...

Emerging roles of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the cellular plasticity of cancer cells

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Cellular plasticity is a well-known dynamic feature of tumor cells that endows tumors with heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance and alters their invasion–metastasis progression, stemness, and drug sensitivity, thereby posing a major challenge to ...

Chronic Heat Stress Part 2: Increased Stress and Fear Responses in F₁ Pekin Ducks Raised from Parents That Experienced Heat Stress

Animals, 2023
The effects of HS on the welfare of poultry have been reported to have a transgenerational effect on phenotype plasticity. The goal of our experiment was to determine whether parental exposure to HS would impair the performance, HPA axis response, or ...
