Development of Cancer Cells - Genetic or Biochemical Origin?
نویسنده
چکیده
The success of the research is its ability to scan large stretches of the human genome through a new technique to assess 200,000 blocks of DNA simultaneously instead of one by one. While that research study concentrated on genes associated with breast cancer the same technique can be used in patients with other forms of cancers. The technique speeds up the rate of gene identification, especially mutated genes for a range of cancers and it helps to calculate a woman's predisposition to develop breast cancers over a lifetime.

Cancer is a genetic condition. Some cancers are inherited, but most are caused by mutations in somatic cells. The cause of these mutations is inherent error in the transcription of DNA or exposure to carcinogens. Malignant melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer which develops from pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. The most potent risk factors for melanoma is the presence ...
متن کاملADAM Gene Expression in The Adult CNS and Genetic Aberrations in Cancer Cells
ADAM metalloprotease-disintegrins share a common modular structure of functional domains for proteolytic, cell adhesion, and signaling interactions. The metalloprotease domain of oughly half of the known ADAMs contain an intact consensus metzincin catalytic site, and they are thus thought to function as active metalloproteases. The types of interactions mediated by ADAMs are expressly conspicu...
متن کاملEffects of Lichenic Extracts (Hypogymnia physodes, Ramalina polymorpha and Usnea florida) on Human Blood Cells: Cytogenetic and Biochemical Study
Several lichen species have been used for medicinal purposes throughout the ages, and they were reported to be effective in the treatment of different disorders including tuberculosis, hemorrhoids, ulcer, dysentery and cancer. It is revealed that they may be easily accessible sources of natural drugs that could be used as a possible food supplement or in pharmaceutical industry after their safe...

Differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. A number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (DNA and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. Although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...

متن کاملO-27: Genome Instabilities in Preimplantation Development Leading to Genetic Variation between Tissues of Normal Human Fetuses
Background: Origin of midlife copy number variations (CNVs) between tissues in non-genetic diseases is unknown. Such genomic differences caused by post-zygotic events. They might either happen during the life or due to prevalent mosaicism in preimplantation stage. We aim to explore fetal mosaicism and its origins. Materials and Methods: Two apparently normal fetuses were achieved following the ...
