Molecular epidemiology in environmental carcinogenesis.
Molecular epidemiology has significant potential in preventing cancer and other diseases caused by environmental exposures (related to lifestyle, occupation, or ambient pollution). This approach attempts to prevent cancer by incorporating laboratory methods to document the molecular dose and preclinical effects of carcinogens, as well as factors that increases individual susceptibility to carci...
متن کاملNutritional Systems Biology Modeling: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiology
The use of computational modeling and simulation has increased in many biological fields, but despite their potential these techniques are only marginally applied in nutritional sciences. Nevertheless, recent applications of modeling have been instrumental in answering important nutritional questions from the cellular up to the physiological levels. Capturing the complexity of today's important...
متن کاملSwitching from prokaryotic molecular biology to eukaryotic molecular biology.
In the history of biology, the early 1950s to the mid-1960s represent a period of landmark discoveries that led to the establishment of a new science named Molecular Biology. The discovery of the double helical structure of DNA byWatson and Crick in 1953 facilitated the formulation of specific questions related to the hottest questions of the time, gene replication and expression. Many ambitiou...
متن کاملMathematical modeling: epidemiology meets systems biology.
This issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention includes a study on mathematical modeling of biological processes. Sokhansanj and Wilson describe a mathematical model that mimics the kinetics of base excision repair and thus permits them to investigate in silico the effects of genetic variation in this important DNA repair pathway (1). Why should epidemiologists have interest in t...
متن کاملMolecular biology and epidemiology of dianthoviruses.
The genus Dianthovirus is one of eight genera in the family Tombusviridae. All the genera have monopartite positive-stranded RNA genomes, except the dianthoviruses which have bipartite genomes. The dianthoviruses are distributed worldwide. Although they share common structural features with the other Tombusviridae viruses in their virions and the terminal structure of the genomic RNAs, the bipa...
