genomic and epigenetic instability in colorectal cancer

abstract: colorectal cancer (crc) is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women worldwide. both genetic and epigenetic alterations are common in crc and are the driving force of tumorigenesis. chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability and cpg island methylator phenotype pathways are responsible for genetic instability in colorectal cancer. chromosom...

New questions on genomic instability.

Background: Trauma and surgery may be complicated by pulmonary dysfunction, acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but the mechanisms are incompletely understood. Methods: We evaluated lung capillary protein permeability non-invasively with help of the 67Gatransferrin pulmonary leak index (PLI) technique and extravascular lung water (EVLW) by the transpulmonary ...
