Diversity of cell lineages within glandular organs is generated postnatally by differentiation of committed progenitor cells. Fundamental regulatory aspects of this process are not understood. The mouse submandibular salivary gland (SSG) served as model to assess the role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling during emergence of cell lineage diversity. Temporal fluctuations in EGF...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate over expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) gene in localized prostate cancers and determine its relation with clinical and pathological factors affecting the progression of the disease. methods: in the tissue samples of the patients with prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy, egfr expression was evaluated by immunohist...

Background: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder due to BCR-ABL1 translocation. Patients showing transformation into blast crisis (BC) have poorer treatment response and prognosis.  Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the department of Pathology, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India, over a time period of 5 years (2014-2019) to evaluate the ...

In the paper, we show that lineage data collected during the processing and analysis of datasets can be reused to perform selective reprocessing (at sub-image level) on datasets while the remainder of the dataset is untouched, a rather difficult process to automate without lineage.

Background: One important reproductive characteristic of Mammals is the production of milk to nurse the neonate. In order to better understand the evolution of milk we have investigated gene expression in milk cells from monotremes which are the most ancient representative of the mammalian lineage. Materials and Methods: Using a milk cell cDNA sequencing approach we characterise milk protein se...

Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS), modelled by the multi-species coalescent, is a process that results in a gene tree being different from the species tree. Because ILS is expected to occur for at least some loci within genome-scale analyses, the evaluation of species tree estimation methods in the presence of ILS is of great interest. Performance on simulated and biological data have suggested ...

background:â there is a relationship between specific genotypes of helicobacter pylori caga and vaca genes and the increased risk of peptic ulcer diseases and gastric cancer. these genes also possess strong patterns of geographical differentiation. the present study aims to determine the patterns of variation of the virulence genes in iran and their association with clinical status. materials a...

The murine epidermis contains a population of dendritic, Thy-1+ cells (Thy-1+ DEC). Although it is now clear that these cells are of bone marrow origin, extensive morphological, histochemical, and cell-membrane marker studies have not definitively placed them in any known hematopoietic differentiation pathway. Based on the observation that Thy-1+ DEC can be propagated in vitro with Con A and in...

Vitiligo, an autoimmune disorder, is known to co-localize with other immunological disorders like lichen planus and psoriasis. However, there are no reports regarding the co-localization of an autoimmune disorder (vitiligo) and a developmental disorder (verrucous epidermal nevus). We hereby present a 10-month-old infant who was visited for white patches on the right buttock and adjoining antero...

Tissue homeostasis is directed by temporal-spatial regulation of gene expression, where lineage specification a critical step, requiring precise expression profiles. Epigenetic and chromatin accessibility play major role in ensuring adequate transcriptional machinery. We amalgamated data from RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, ChIP-Seq HiC to gain transcriptomic/chromatin profile distinct skin epidermal layers...
