OBJECTIVE In colorectal carcinomas, tumor budding has been defined as the presence of isolated single tumor cells or small cell clusters in the stroma at the invasive tumor margin. In this study, the relationship between tumor budding density at the invasive tumor margin and pathological parameters is investigated. MATERIAL AND METHOD Haematoxylin and eosin stained slides of 73 cases with col...

BACKGROUND Our study aimed to assess the prognostic value of poorly differentiated clusters (PDCs) in invasive breast cancer. METHODS A total of 146 cases of operable invasive ductal carcinoma that was not otherwise specified (IDC-NOS), from 2002 to 2009, were pathologically reviewed. Cancer clusters with five or more cancer cells and lacking gland-like structures were counted from a field co...

in order to study the effect of irrigation water salinity on quality and quantity of sugar beet (beta vulgaris) at four growth stages, an experiment was conducted in rudasht salinity and drainage research center from 2004-2006. in this experiment, 11 different water salinity treatments and three sugar beet cultivars (ic, 7233 & 7233-p29*msc2) were considered using split plot design based on ran...

To maintain genome stability during fluctuating environmental conditions, cells have adapted mechanisms to regulate cell cycle events. For unicellular organisms, such as budding yeast, this response is essential for the survival of the organism. For example, under conditions of nutrient limitation, diploid budding yeast cells enter meiosis and package the meiotic products into spores. The spore...

Previous work showed that the GTP-binding protein Rho1p is required in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for activation of protein kinase C (Pkc1p) and for activity and regulation of beta(1-->3)glucan synthase. Here we demonstrate a hitherto unknown function of Rho1p required for cell cycle progression and cell polarization. Cells of mutant rho1(E45I) in the G1 stage of the cell cycle did no...

Frost damage to the flowers and early developing fruits is one of the most limiting factors in the most almond cultivation regions of the world. This study was undertaken to help understand almond response to frost spring at same phenological stage, in order to develop criteria for the selection of cultivars with improved resistance to frost on the basis of field and laboratory experiments. In ...
