Fecal Biobanking: Unlocking the Potential for Colorectal Cancer Research and Treatment
The gastrointestinal system plays a pivotal role in influencing our general well-being and our reactions to medical treatments. Within it resides an extensive collection of microorganisms, referred to as the gut microbiota, which exists in immense numbers. Scientific investigations...
Colorectal Cancer: A Biobank of Patient-derived Xenografts
According to GLOBOCAN 2018 data, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most deadly and fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. There were nearly 2 million new cases and about 1 million deaths in 2018. The incidence of...
A Ubiquitination Inhibitor Hakin-1 Potentially Has Efficacy In Colorectal Cancer
Hakai is a 491 amino acid E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that forms a dimer if zinc is available. This allows Src tyrosine kinase dependant interaction with the transmembrane adhesion protein E-cadherin. This interaction results in ubiquitination and degradation of E-cadherin,...
