SMOKING-ASSOCIATED GENE EXPRESSION ALTERATIONS IN NASAL EPITHELIUM REVEAL IMMUNE IMPAIRMENT LINKED TO LUNG CANCER RISK

Smoking-associated gene expression alterations in nasal epithelium reveal immune impairment linked to lung cancer risk

Abstract Background Lung cancer Wine Cooler is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world.In contrast to many other cancers, a direct connection to modifiable lifestyle risk in the form of tobacco smoke has long been established.More than 50% of all smoking-related lung cancers occur in former smokers, 40% of which occur more than 15 ye

Physiological condition of juvenile wading birds in relation to multiple landscape stressors in the Florida Everglades: effects of hydrology, prey availability, and mercury bioaccumulation.

The physiological condition of juvenile birds can be influenced by multiple ecological stressors, and few studies have concurrently considered the effects of environmental contaminants in combination with ecological attributes that can influence foraging conditions and prey availability.Using three temporally distinct indices of physiological condi

Selection and validation of reference genes for gene expression studies in Pseudomonas brassicacearum GS20 using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR.

Pseudomonas brassicacearum GS20 is an antagonistic strain of bacteria recently isolated from Other the rhizosphere of Codonopsis pilosula.No validated reference gene has been indentified from P.brassicacearum to use in the normalization of real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR data.Therefore, in this study, nine candidate reference genes
