research De Novo Assembly and Annotation of Asiatic Lion (Panthera Leo Persica) Genome
The Asiatic lion has very low genetic diversity and unique genetic traits, highlighting the need for its conservation.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Viral Oncogenesis in Humans
Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.
research Tailored Chromatin Modulation to Promote Tissue Regeneration
Understanding and manipulating epigenetic changes can potentially lead to human organ regeneration therapies, but more research is needed to improve these methods and minimize risks.
research Structure and Expression of Genes for a Class of Cysteine-Rich Proteins of the Cuticle Layers of Differentiating Wool and Hair Follicles
