DNA is a detailed layout of instructions for cellular function. The integrity of human DNA is constantly challenged by a barrage of exogenous and endogenous sources. A regime of genome stability maintenance has evolved to repair the many different types of DNA damage. A form of communication...

Introduction. Helicobacter pylori infection is an emerging health concern to some northern Canadian Aboriginal communities and their clinicians. Clinicians in the north perceive H. pylori infection to be a major clinical problem because they find H. pylori infection in many patients evaluated for...

During cancer progression, many patients will experience some degree of wasting of both muscle and adipose tissue. However, little is-known about adipose tissue alterations after a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, this research was conducted to first understand the prognostic significance of adipose...

HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase (encoded by ERBB2 gene) is overexpressed in approximately 25% of all breast cancer tumors (known as HER2-positive breast cancers). Overexpression of HER2 causes overactivation of downstream receptor tyrosine kinase pathways including PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways and is...

There is substantial evidence of the elevated risk of cancer among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Very little is known, however, about the role that antidiabetic therapies play in this relationship. The objective of this program of research was to examine whether there is a therapeutic risk...

The goal of this study was to show that quantifiable metabolic changes may be used to screen for cancer. NIH III nude mice (n=22) were injected with human GBM cells, with daily urine samples collected pre and post-injection. 14 mice were injected with saline to serve as controls. The...
