This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translational medicine was first mentioned in 1992 by Choi D. W and has since become a rapidly expanding area within biomedical research. It is based on the ‘bench to bedside’ approach, which describes it’s relationship between basic science and clinical practice. In 2008, Drs Conway and Dougherty provided a 3 step process to translational medicine and how it should be implemented to transform healthcare systems. The first step is the translation of basic science into clinical research (T1). The second step (T2) focuses on making healthcare more patient specific, basing itself on providing ‘the right treatment for the right patient in the right way at the right time’. T2 also looks for this science to be translated into practice guidelines for clinicians, policy makers and the patients themselves. The final step (T3) addresses the ‘how’ of implementing these ideas, so that high quality healthcare can be delivered reliably to all patients in all settings of care. T3 activities would include policy changes that could serve to bring about meaningful change towards this goal. Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Clarifying the etiology and pathogenesis of cancer is of great significance to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. The bench to bedside pattern can be a useful method for cancer-related studies. This Research Topic aims to highlight the emerging role of oncogenetics in cancer, and discuss potential challenges of diagnosis and treatment, from the bench to the bedside.

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Download the ebooks for this Research Topic: Volume I.A: ¦PDF¦ ¦EPUB Volume I.B: ¦PDF¦ ¦ EPUB Hepatobiliary tumor, mainly including hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer, is a group of highly aggressive malignancies. Hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer have different biological characters, histopathological traits, and treatment strategies, but have similar clinical features such as silent early symptom and extremely poor prognosis. The diagnostic, predictive or prognostic tumor biomarkers of hepatobiliary cancers are in unmet need. In contrast to the poor outcome, the treatment options to hepatobiliary cancers are very limited. It is still controversial about the effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy of hepatobiliary cancer. FDA-approved targeted drugs are only Sorafenib and Lenvatinib for hepatocellular carcinoma, and Pemigatinib for cholangiocarcinoma. Unfortunately, these drugs are only effective for 5%-30% patients. Therefore, more attention should be called upon on investigating effective biomarkers and drug targets, stratifying high-risk patients, guiding precise treatments, and developing therapeutic strategies for hepatobiliary cancers. This Research Topic aims at discussing the current knowledge and proceedings of diagnostic, predictive and prognostic tumor biomarkers in hepatobiliary cancer, and presenting the recent advances on new drug targets and potential targeted therapies of hepatobiliary cancer. We welcome submissions of Review, Mini-Review, Clinical Trial and Original Research articles covering, but not limited to, the following topics: 1. new diagnostic/prognostic factors, biomarkers and/or risk factors in hepatobiliary tumors 2. new drug targets, and oncogenic or tumor suppressive molecular mechanism of the novel targets 3. new intervention or targeted therapy in hepatobiliary tumors 4. new findings of bioinformatics or high-throughput methods such as mass spectrometry and genome-wide association studies or which may help screen the potential biomarkers of hepatobiliary tumors 5. clinical studies such as cohort study or RCT to identify new risks or treatment therapies in hepatobiliary tumors 6. basic, pharmacological, preclinical or clinical study of potential drugs targeting hepatobiliary tumors Please note: manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics or computational analysis of public genomic or transcriptomic databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent cohort or biological validation in vitro or in vivo) are out of scope for this section and will not be accepted as part of this Research Topic.

This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorectal cancer has for more than two decades served as the paradigm for the multi-step concept of cancer initiation and progression. Perhaps more than any other organ site, cancer of the colon is extensively characterized at the molecular level. We are now entering a time when molecular classification, rather than histologic classification, of cancer subtypes is driving the development of clinical trials with emerging targeted therapies. The book will focus on the progression from the identification of mutations that drive colorectal cancer initiation and progression to the search for novel therapies to treat the disease.

Download or read book Fine Tuning of RNA Functions by Modification and Editing written by Henri Grosjean and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-05-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturally occurring RNA always contains numerous biochemically altered nucleotides. They are formed by enzymatic modification of the primary transcripts during the complex RNA maturation process designated RNA modification. A large number of enzymes catalyzing the formation of these modified nucleosides or converting one canonical base into another at the posttranscriptional level have been studied for many years, but only recently have systematic and comparative studies begun. The functions of individual enzymes and/or the modified/edited nucleosides in RNA, however, have remained largely ignored. This book provides advance information on RNA modification, including the associated editing machinery, while offering the reader some perspective on the significance of such modifications in fine-tuning the structure and functions of mature RNA molecules and hence the ability to influence the efficiency and accuracy of genetic expression. Outstanding scientists who are actively working on RNA modification/editing processes have provided up-to-date information on these intriguing cellular processes that have been generated over the course of millions of years in all living organisms. Each review has been written and illustrated for a large audience of readers, not only specialists in the field, but also for advanced students or researchers who want to learn more about recent progress in RNA modification and editing.

Download or read book Identification and Characterization of Molecular Targets in Hepatocellular Carcinoma written by Vinay Kumar and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: the field of oncology and is the most common form of liver cancer. In some cases, HCC can be treated through surgery and ablations but can be extended to a full transplant. Risk factors for HCC have been elucidated in previous years, linking hepatitis viruses, diabetes, and alcohol-dependent conditions to the pathogenesis of HCC. Given the prevalence of HCC in global populations (currently >800,000 new cases per year, and rising), there is a requirement to identify molecular targets in HCC and develop new therapeutic strategies to manage and treat HCCs. New technologies and techniques, including gene sequencing, bioinformatics, and liquid biopsy, have helped identify molecular and genetic players involved in the development of HCC. As such, a comprehensive genetic/immune signature of HCC would be invaluable in the development of new therapeutics and treatment strategies, as well as early identification and management of HCC. There are currently various trials that implement a combination of already approved drugs to better the prognosis of patients suffering from HCC. There is, however, still room for improvement, and as our understanding of the various factors involved in HCC improves, so will the prognosis of patients suffering from HCC globally. This Research Topic aims to highlight the molecular and genetic targets that lead to the progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. We welcome Original Research, Reviews, and other article types.
Download or read book lncRNAs in Cancer Metastasis and Therapy Resistance written by Aamir Ahmad and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: lncRNAs (long non-coding RNAs) are the relatively longer (more than 200 nucleotides long) subtypes of ncRNAs (non-coding RNAs) i.e the RNAs that do not code for any proteins. However, even without themselves being translated, lncRNAs impact the cellular gene expressions and functions in ways that are just beginning to be explored. The metastasis of human cancers as well as acquired resistance against the administered therapeutics are two major factors responsible for the cancer-associated mortality.

Download or read book Molecular Pathology of Breast Cancer written by Sunil Badve and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex landscape of breast cancer requires distinct strategies for the management of various molecular subtypes of this disease. Rapid advances in the field of molecular biology have been bewildering for those involved in its study and management. “Molecular Pathology of Breast Cancer” aims to close this knowledge gap by discussing comprehensively the evolution, biological basis and clinical applications with a focus on the “what, when, and how” of the most significant molecular markers known to date. These markers are evaluated in the context of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiles, which is integral to the practice of precision medicine. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) has provided new insights in the regulation of genomic and transcriptomic structure and function. Alterations in DNA such as mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been correlated with outcomes and provide for novel therapeutic approaches. These NGS analyses have also revealed the extensive contributions of epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications, non-coding RNA and alternative splicing. All of these changes together contribute to alterations in proteome. Newer assays that allow greater stability and analytical consistency are emerging. These alterations in tumor profiles can be also now detected by imaging techniques. The heterogeneity of both tumor and tumor microenvironment, an inevitable reality, is discussed in detail with particular focus on cancer stem cells and immune signaling. A chapter is dedicated to the emerging technology of “liquid biopsy”, which opens a novel approach for “continuous” monitoring of cancer that might be superior to conventional diagnostics, “Molecular Pathology of Breast Cancer” provides a quick and easy, not to mention essential, tour for clinicians, pathologists and scientists who are seeking to understand the integration of molecular biology into the diagnosis, prognosis and management of breast cancer.
