Molecular mechanisms of environmental carcinogenesis.
The passive observation of hand actions is associated with increased motor cortex excitability, presumably reflecting activity within the human mirror neuron system (MNS). Recent data show that in-group ethnic membership increases motor cortex excitability during observation of culturally relevant hand gestures, suggesting that physical similarity with an observed body part may modulate MNS res...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of human carcinogenesis.
Intensive research efforts during the last several decades have increased our understanding of carcinogenesis, and have identified a genetic basis for the multi-step process of cancer development. Tumors grow through a process of clonal expansion driven by mutation. Several forms of molecular alteration have been described in human cancers, and these can be generally classified as chromosomal a...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Colorectal Carcinogenesis
K.M. Haigis (ed.), Molecular Pathogenesis of Colorectal Cancer, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-8412-7_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents in three major forms: inherited, sporadic, and familial. Although the mechanisms underlying familial CRC are poorly understood, a large body of evidence suggests that inherited and sporadic CRC are caused by se...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of nickel carcinogenesis.
Nickel treatment of intact cultured cells oxidized dichlorofluorescin to a fluorescent product indicating that nickel elevated the level of oxidants in cells. Nickel also caused an increase in crosslinking of amino acids to DNA and these complexes did not appear to involve the direct participation of Ni2+. Histidine, cysteine and tyrosine were prominent among the amino acids crosslinked to DNA....
متن کاملMolecular 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...
