Role of Epigenetics in Biology and Human Diseases
For a long time, scientists have tried to describe disorders just by genetic or environmental factors. However, the role of epigenetics in human diseases has been considered from a half of century ago. In the last decade, this subject has attracted many interests, especially in complicated disorders such as behavior plasticity, memory, cancer, autoimmune disease, and addiction as well as neurod...
متن کاملWorkshop/conference on the role of metals in carcinogenesis. Sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Atlanta, Georgia March 24-28, 1980.
Foreword It is my privilege to write these introductory comments on the Proceedings ofthe Workshop/Con-ference on the Role of Metals in Carcinogenesis. The field of metal carcinogenicity, although not new, has moved into an area of even greater prominence and urgency. We of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and its sister institutes, the National Cancer Institut...
متن کاملThe immunogenetics and pathogenesis of gastric cancer. Highlights of the First Sino-European Workshop on the Immunogenetics and Pathogenesis of Gastric Cancer.
Clinical scientists from eight European countries and China gathered in the ancient Chinese capital of Xi'an on April 26-28, 2001 to discuss collaboration on a modern approach to gastric cancer prevention. Participants at the First Sino-European Workshop on Immunogenetics and Pathogenesis of Gastric Cancer presented their most up-to-date research results on topics ranging from epidemiology and ...
متن کاملCarcinogenesis studies in human cells and tissues.
Carcinogenesis researchers have striven for decades to interpret data obtained from animal studies in terms of their applicability to humans. The carcinogenic hazard of environmental chemicals has been determined primarily from studies with experimental animals and from retrospec tive epidemiological investigations. An experimental ap proach to the direct study of Carcinogenesis in human tissue...
متن کاملRadiation-induced Non-targeted Effect and Carcinogenesis; Implications in Clinical Radiotherapy
Bystander or non-targeted effect is known to be an interesting phenomenon in radiobiology. The genetic consequences of bystander effect on non-irradiated cells have shown that this phenomenon can be considered as one of the most important factors involved in secondary cancer after exposure to ionizing radiation. Every year, millions of people around the world undergo radiotherapy in order to cu...
