Background: The most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in human cancer is p53. In a normal situation, p53 is activated upon the induction of DNA damage to either arrest the cell cycle or to induce apoptosis. However, when mutated, p53 is no longer able to properly accomplish these functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of p53 gene in cases of skin cancer...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of garlic powder (GP) black seed (BS) and plant premix (GP and BS) in the diet on broiler growth performance and intestinal morphology. included 480 Hubbard broiler chicks(day-old). There were 4 treatment groups each consisting of 3 replicates. The four dietary treatments consisted of a control (basal diet), basal diet +0.5% GP, basal diet +0....

Abstract The cell of origin and the development breast cancer are not fully elucidated in BRCA1 mutation carriers, especially for estrogen receptor (ER)–positive cancers. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on 82,122 cells isolated from tissues adjacent or prophylactic normal four carriers three noncarriers. Whole-exome was tumors carriers; validation, bulk RNA-seq eight add...

Inflammation has been linked to a number of diseases including prostate cancer, but the mechanisms by which inflammatory signaling promotes tumorigenesis remain largely unknown (1). In PNAS, Kwon et al. (2) demonstrate that bacterial-induced inflammation in the mouse prostate is associated with both proliferation and basal-to-luminal differentiation, the limiting step in the transformation of b...

Culm rhomboid rot is a new disease of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) and mainly occurs on grown at an altitude above 800 m. The typical symptoms start with black spots irregular shapes, which expand vertically into elongated, fusiform, or shape up to 15 cm in length. Eleven fungal isolates were isolated from infected tissue, the isolate BBB1 was confirmed as pathogen following Koch’s postul...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the percentage of the stem cells population in human endometrial tissue sections and cultured cells at fourth passage. Methods: Human endometrial specimens were divided into two parts, one part for morphological studies and the other part for in vitro culture. Full thickness of human normal endometrial sections and cultured endometrial cells ...

Human airway basal cells are the stem (or progenitor) population of the airway epithelium, and play a central role in anchoring the epithelium to the basement membrane. The anatomic position of basal cells allows for potential paracrine signaling between them and the underlying non-epithelial stromal cells. In support of this, we have previously demonstrated that endothelial cells support growt...

Asem, Elikplimi K., Wuxuan Qin, and Stanley G. Rane. Effect of basal lamina of ovarian follicle on Tand L-type Ca21 currents in differentiated granulosa cells. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 282: E184–E196, 2002.—Patch clamp experiments were conducted to study the effects of basal lamina (basement membrane) of chicken ovarian follicle on membrane Ca21 currents in differentiated chicken granulosa...

Pairs of taste cells were impaled with intracellular recording microelectrodes in intact taste buds in slices of Necturus lingual epithelium. Applying short pulses of 140 mM KCl or 200 mM CaCl2 solutions to the apical pore elicited receptor potentials in taste receptor cells. Chemostimulation of receptor cells elicited postsynaptic responses in basal cells in the taste bud. Postsynaptic respons...
