Quantification of nucleic acid quality in postmortem tissues from a cancer research autopsy program

The last decade has seen a marked rise in the use of cancer tissues obtained from research autopsies. Such resources have been invaluable for studying cancer evolution or the mechanisms of therapeutic resistance to targeted therapies. Degradation of biomolecules is a potential challenge to usage of cancer tissues obtained in the post-mortem setting and remains incompletely studied. We analysed ...

Nucleic Acid-Based Encapsulations for Cancer

4 Abstract With the advancements in proteomics, it is now known that molecular 5 abnormalities found in cancerous cells stem mostly from the proteins involved in 6 signaling pathways including growth factors, receptors, intracellular mediators, and 7 transcription factors. These proteins or molecular determinants can be used as 8 potential “targets” or “biomarkers” for cancer diagnosis and trea...

Nucleic acid aptamers in cancer research, diagnosis and therapy.

Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligomers, identified from a random sequence pool, with the ability to form unique and versatile tertiary structures that bind to cognate molecules with superior specificity. Their small size, excellent chemical stability and low immunogenicity enable them to rival antibodies in cancer imaging and therapy applications. Their facile chemical synthesis, ver...
