An Overview of the Epigenetic Modifications of Gene Expression in Tumorigenesis
The five leading causes of cancer-related deaths are lung (1,760,000 deaths), colorectal (862,000 deaths), stomach (783,000 deaths), liver (782,000 deaths), and breast (627,000 deaths) cancers. Epigenetic changes can alter chromatin compaction, leading to the regulation of geneexpression without changing the primary DNA sequence.Epigenetic mechanisms are normally involved incellular processes s...
متن کاملAn Overview of Candiduria
Candida microorganisms frequently exist as saprophytes on the external genitalia or urethra, however, yeast in measurable quantities are found in <1% of clean voided urine specimens. The overall frequency of Candida infections in hospitals has increased by 200% to 300% in the last decade, such that in a general hospital 5% of urine cultures may yield Candida species, and in tertiary-care center...
متن کاملAn Overview of Novel Anticoagulants
Arterial and venous thromboembolism is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. For almost seventy years, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, and vitamin K antagonists have been widely used in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. However, many of the limitations of these traditional anticoagulants have led to the search for and attempts to introduce better drug ...
متن کاملUse of Epigenetic Drugs in Disease: An Overview
Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation and histone methylation and acetylation alter gene expression at the level of transcription by upregulating, downregulating, or silencing genes completely. Dysregulation of epigenetic events can be pathological, leading to cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, metabolic disorders, and cancer development. Therefore, identifying drugs that inhi...
متن کاملAngiogenesis assays: a critical overview.
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is an integral part of both normal developmental processes and numerous pathologies, ranging from tumor growth and metastasis to inflammation and ocular disease. Angiogenesis assays are used to test efficacy of both pro- and antiangiogenic agents. METHODS Most studies of angiogenesis inducers and inhibitors rely on various models, b...
