Biology: the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution. This includes plants, animals, and other qualities of organisms or class of organisms.
Accumulation of structural variations (SVs) across the genome is a known trigger factor for oncogenesis. Structural mutations have been clearly implicated in a number of cancers, most notably...
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone tumor in pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients. Over the past three decades, significant improvements in the survival rates or therapeutic ap...
Copy-number alterations and chromosomal translocations are widespread in cancer and frequently causing oncogenic mutations that drive tumorigenesis and therapy resistance. Despite their preva...
Blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1, members of the B7/CD28 family, have proven to be the most successful cancer immunotherapies to date. While the current therapeutic focus remains on B7/CD28 family...
The introduction of robot-assisted surgical technology into urological practice, has introduced new horizons for reducing the morbidity and enhancing the efficacy of surgery. Open radical cys...
A subset of women with ovarian cancer will present with an apparently isolated adnexal mass. Many of these women will have early stage ovarian cancer with a relatively good prognosis. Unfortu...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adolescents. While current treatments have resulted in 85-90% cure, the remaining 10-15% cases represent the leading cau...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
CRISPR based gene editing has proven to be an incredibly powerful tool for studying functions of individual proteins, understanding the role of multi-gene pathways, and even knocking out prot...
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing is a powerful tool which can induce heritable mutations at desired genomic loci without leaving transgenic trace in plants. Here we constructed a robust, multip...
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) RNA and CRISPR-associated genes (Cas) assemble into RNA-guided surveillance complex that targets foreign nucleic acids for d...
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become very popular in the last 5 years and has profoundly changed our way to do genetically engineered animals. I will present the latest development in genome edi...
First discovered as a genome-editing tool just seven years ago, CRISPR systems have already changed the face of basic research, allowing researchers to alter the DNA of hundreds of organisms...
