Publishing: is the dissemination of literature, music, or information-the activity of making information available to the general public. In some cases, authors may be their own publishers, meaning originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content for the same.

Prostate cancer epithelial cells depend on androgens for their survival. Because of this dependence, androgen deprivation therapy is the major treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Such ther...
Whenever there is cell death, apoptotic cell free DNA fragments appear in the circulation of the host. These fragments, typically 145-160 base pairs in size, represent a minute fraction of to...

Cancer cells have historically been classified by microscopic analysis of blood smears and tissue sections. Current technologies use molecular techniques to categorize and classify tumor cell...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, a...

With the rapid rise in the number of therapeutic options for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) comes increasingly complicated treatment decision-making, emphasizing the nee...
The knowledge of molecular alterations involved in colon carcinoma (CRC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) has significantly increased in the past few years. Molecular subgroups of t...

The next generation sequencing technologies are profoundly influencing our way to study biology. We have previously developed cap-analysis gene expression (CAGE) to simultaneously mRNA/noncod...
MicroRNAs are short non-coding cellular regulators of gene expression. Each microRNA controls the expression of a large set of genes, and microRNAs collectively, may regulate more than half o...
