Functional Genomics and a New Era in Radiation Biology and Oncology.
Ionizing radiation is a ubiquitous stress to which all life is continuously exposed, and thus complex mechanisms have evolved to regulate cellular responses to radiation, including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and programmed cell death. Changes in gene expression shape part of the response to radiation, and have historically provided insight into the underlying mechanisms of that response. Ho...
متن کاملPlant Developmental Biology in the Post-Genomic Era
At around the same time in the late 1960s, two great minds grappled with two seemingly different questions. Lewis Wolpert tackled the problem of how specific identities can be assigned to seemingly identical cells to generate a pattern. Theodosius Dobzhansky wondered why the living world was NOT a mass of one kind of living things, surviving in one special environment. Wolpert went on to use Tu...
متن کاملMolecular biology: the key to personalised treatment in radiation oncology?
We know considerably more about what makes cells and tissues resistant or sensitive to radiation than we did 20 years ago. Novel techniques in molecular biology have made a major contribution to our understanding at the level of signalling pathways. Before the "New Biology" era, radioresponsiveness was defined in terms of physiological parameters designated as the five Rs. These are: repair, re...
متن کاملThe Genomic Era of Clinical Oncology: Integrated Genomic Analysis for Precision Cancer Care.
Genomic alterations are important biological markers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, disease classification, risk stratification, and treatment selection. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are superb new tools for evaluating cancer genomes. These state-of-the-art technologies offer high-throughput, highly accurate, targeted and whole-gen...
متن کاملAt the Crossroads of Cancer Stem Cells, Radiation Biology, and Radiation Oncology.
Reports that a small subset of tumor cells initiate and sustain tumor growth, are resistant to radiation and drugs, and bear specific markers have led to an explosion of cancer stem cell research. These reports imply that the evaluation of therapeutic response by changes in tumor volume is misleading, as volume changes reflect the response of the sensitive rather than the resistant tumorigenic ...
