Protocol for the Analysis of Laser Capture Microdissected Fresh-Frozen Tissue Homogenates by Silver-Stained 1D SDS-PAGE
Methods Mol Biol. 2018;1723:95-110. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7558-7_4. Prieto DA, Whitely G, Johann DJ Jr, Blonder J Abstract The heterogeneity present in solid tumors adds significant difficulty to scientific analysis and improved understanding. Fundamentally, solid tumor formation consists of cancer cells proper along with stromal elements. The burgeoning malignant process is dependent upon modified stromal elements. Collectively, […]
Diabetes-Associated Alterations in the Cecal Microbiome and Metabolome are Independent of Diet or Environment in the UC Davis Type 2-Diabetes Mellitus Rat Model
Piccolo BD1, Graham JL2, Stanhope KL3, Nookaew I4, Mercer KE5, Chintapalli SV6, Wankhade UD7, Shankar K8, Havel PJ9, Adams SH1. Abstract The composition of the gut microbiome is altered in obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, it is not known whether these alterations are mediated by dietary factors or related to declines in metabolic health. To address this, cecal contents were collected from age-matched, […]
PARP1 is up-regulated in Non-small cell lung cancer tissues in the presence of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin
Front. Microbiol. | doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.01757 Patrick Apopa, Lisa Alley, Rosalind Penney, Konstantinos Arnaoutakis, Mathew Steliga, Susan Jeffus, Emine Bircan, Banu Gopalan, Jing Jin, Preecha Patumcharoenpol, Piroon Jenjaroenpun, Thidathip Wongsurawat, Nishi Shah, Gunnar Boysen, David Ussery, Intawat Nookaew, Pebbles Fagan, Gurkan Bebek, Mohammed Orloff Abstract Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the major form of lung […]
Highly accurate model for prediction of lung nodule malignancy with CT scans
Scientific Reports, Nature. volume 8, Article number: 9286 (2018) Jason L. Causey, Junyu Zhang, Shiqian Ma, Bo Jiang, Jake A. Qualls, David G. Politte, Fred Prior, Shuzhong Zhang, Xiuzhen Huang Abstract Computed tomography (CT) examinations are commonly used to predict lung nodule malignancy in patients, which are shown to improve noninvasive early diagnosis of lung cancer. It remains challenging for […]
E. coli and colorectal cancer, a complex relationship that deserves a critical mindset
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2018 Jun 17:1-14. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2018.1481013 Trudy M. Wassenaar Abstract To the multiple factors that may eventually result in colorectal cancer (CRC), strains of E. coli have now been added, in particular strains producing colibactin from their polyketide synthesis (pks) locus. The evidence and mechanistic explanations for this unfortunate effect of what is in […]
Reengineering Workflow for Curation of DICOM Datasets
J Digital Imaging (15 Jun 2018). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10278-018-0097-4 William Bennett, Kirk Smith, Quasar Jarosz, Tracy Nolan, Walter Bosch Abstract Reusable, publicly available data is a pillar of open science and rapid advancement of cancer imaging research. Sharing data from completed research studies not only saves research dollars required to collect data, but also helps insure that […]

Gene expression profile analysis of aortic vascular smooth muscle cells reveals upregulation of cadherin genes in myocardial infarction patients
Physiol Genomics. 2018 May 18. doi: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00042.2017 Derda AA, Woo CC, Wongsurawat T, Richards M, Lee CN, Kofidis T, Kuznetsov VA, Sorokin VA Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) induced by acute coronary arterial occlusion is usually secondary to atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Dysregulated response of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in atherosclerotic plaques may promote plaque rupture. […]
