Nucleolar organiser regions as indicators of post-surgical prognosis in canine spontaneous mast cell tumours

British Journal of Cancer

Abstract

The average number of nucleolar organiser regions per cell has previously been shown to correlate well with histological grading techniques for a variety of neoplasms in man, and may thus be of value as an aid to post-surgical prognosis. In this study 50 spontaneously arising, subcutaneous canine mast cell tumours were graded and the histological grade compared with the mean AgNOR count. For well differentiated neoplasms the mean count was 1.4 per cell compared with 6.3 for poorly differentiated neoplasms, while tumours of intermediate differentiation had a mean count of 3.2 per cell. Subsequent follow up studies revealed that the AgNOR count was an accurate prognostic indicator, 73% of dogs with a high mean count (greater than 4.9) being destroyed from tumour related disease compared with 33% with an intermediate count (1.7-4.8). No dog with a count of less than 1.7 has been destroyed because of tumour recurrence to date and the AgNOR count has proved to be a better and more objective prognostic indicator than either histological tumour grade or mitotic index. Since most dogs which develop recurrent mast cell tumours do so within 6 months of initial surgery, an assessment of the predictive value of AgNORs can be obtained more ...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.
