Abstract

Neoplastic progression is characterized by clonal expansion of tumor cells associated with accumulation of mutational damage. The timing of mutation acquisition could be of value in distinguishing preneoplastic conditions from early and advanced cancer as well as characterizing tumor aggressiveness and treatment response. Using quantitative methods applied to microdissected cell clusters selected according to cytomorphologic features, we sought to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy for determining the time and course of mutation accumulation in pancreatobiliary cytology specimens. In all, 40 pancreatic duct and 21 biliary brushing cytology specimens were retrieved from the cytology database. Xylene-resistant markings were placed on the slide underside and coverslips removed. Clusters of benign, atypical and malignant cells were manually microdissected and DNA extracted. Mutations (allelic imbalance) (loss of heterozygosity) were quantitatively determined for a broad panel of 15 markers (1p, 3p, 5q, 9p, 10q, 17p, 17q, 21q, 22q) as well as point mutation in K-ras-2 using PCR/capillary electrophoresis. Time course was based on earlier mutations having a higher proportion of mutant DNA for a particular marker. The descending ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
