Abstract

Cell proliferation of transitional cell bladder cancer (TCC) was determined by MIB-1 immunolabeling, volume-corrected mitotic index (M/V index) and S-phase fraction measurement in 207 patients with superficial (Ta-T1) bladder cancer. The results were compared to T category, WHO grade and DNA-ploidy. The MIB-1 score was related to T category (P < 0.001), WHO grade (P < 0.001), DNA ploidy (P < 0,0001), M/V index (P < 0.0001) and fraction of cells in S phase (P < 0.0001). The mean MIB-1 score was 6.37% for G1, 14.59% for G2 and 28.59% for G3 carcinomas (P < 0.001). The MIB-1 score for Ta tumors was 9.24% and for T1 tumors 25.34% (P < 0.001). The M/V index was 3.9 for G1, 11.5 for G2 and 25.9 for G3 tumors (P < 0.0001). The M/V index for Ta tumors was 6.4 and 25.3 for T1 tumors (P < 0.0001). WHO grade 1 tumors had 7.7%, grade 2 tumors 13.8% and grade 3 tumors 21.8% of cells in S phase (P < 0.001). Of grade 1 tumors, 97% were diploid and 3% aneuploid, and 78% of grade 2 tumors were diploid and 22% aneuploid. Of grade 3 tumors, 30% were diploid and 70% aneuploid (P < 0.001). Of Ta tumors, 92% were diploid and 8% aneuploid, respectively, whereas 40% of T1 tumors were diploid and 60% aneuploid (P < 0.0001). The results show that quanti...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.
