Colorectal Cancer Screening
by
David Done
Colorectal Cancer Screening Methods Comparison - There are five main screening methods for colorectal cancer. Digital Rectal Exam,Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT), Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, Double-contrast Barium Enema (DCBE). It serves as an excellent initial screening due to its safe, simple and inexpensive nature.
GPR83: A Novel Treg Expressed Cell Surface Marker
by
Stephen Jones
GPR83 is a member of the Orphan-A G-Protein coupled receptor family, and has anunknown ligand. It has been previously reported in various regions of the brain, within a subset of T-lymphocytes, and by RT-PCR at low levels in heart, kidney, liver, and otherorgans.

New FOXP3Δ2 (Exon 2 Deleted) Specific Antibody
by
Stephen Jones
FOXP3 is a master regulator of immune homeostasis expressed specifically in CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory cells controlling their growth, development and function and generally accepted to be expressed in both mouse and human CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells. For more details read out the article:

Faces of DARPP-32: Master Signaling Mediator in the Brain?
by
Stephen Jones
As a major target for dopamine-activated adenylyl cyclase and protein kinase A in the striatum, DARPP-32 plays a central role in regulating the efficacy of dopaminergic neurotransmission and can act either as a phosphatase or kinase inhibitor in a contextually dependent manner.

QuikChIP Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Kits
by
Stephen Jones
The principle of the ChIP assay is simple yet the process can be technically challenging. It is with these challenges in mind that IMGENEX developed the QuikChIP Kit for chromatin immunoprecipitation. Find out more information from the following article:
ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated) Antibodies from Imgenex
by
Stephen Jones
ATM, the gene product mutated in the cancer susceptibility syndrome ataxia–telangiectasia, is related to proteins involved in DNA repair and cell-cycle control. In undamaged cells it is present as a dimer or oligomer molecule in which the kinase domain is silent because associated with the FAT region of another ATM monomer. For more information about ATM read out the given article:
Are we "Livin" or just "Survivin"?
by
Stephen Jones
Apoptosis is regulated by death domain (DD) and/or caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing molecules and a caspase family of proteases. A novel CARD domain containing protein was recently identified and designated ARC for apoptosis repressor with CARD (1). For more details read out the article:

Akt Family: Antibodies from Imgenex
by
Stephen Jones
Akt family of serine/threonine-directed kinases regulates a diverse array of biological processes, including cellular survival, proliferation, glucose homeostasis, and vascular tone and are important molecules in mammalian cellular signaling.

10 Options in Treating Mesothelioma
by
Ira
As with any cancer, treatment for Mesothelioma depends on the location of the cancer, the progression of the disease, the age as well as state of health of the patient.

Gastric Cancer
by
Lance Williams
Your stomach is a J-shaped organ in the upper abdomen where digestion begins before food is passed to your intestines. Cancer can arise in any part of the stomach, and is believed to develop slowly over many years. Stomach cancer -- also referred to as gastric cancer -- is usually preceded by precancerous changes in the stomach lining.
Bone density test
by
Lance Williams
Years ago, the only time osteoporosis — the disease that causes bones to become more fragile and likely to break — could be detected was after you broke a bone. By then, however, your bones might already be quite weak.
Late effects of cancer treatment
by
Lance Williams
Late effects are side effects of cancer treatment that become apparent after your treatment has ended. Cancer survivors might experience late effects of cancer treatment a few months after treatment is completed or years later. It isn't clear why these effects are delayed.
Cancer and Diet
by
Lance Williams
The consensus on diet and cancer is that obesity increases the risk of developing cancer. Particular dietary practices often explain differences in cancer incidence in different countries (e.g. gastric cancer is more common in Japan, while colon cancer is more common in the United States).
Adjuvant Therapy (keep cancer from returning)
by
Lance Williams
Five main types of adjuvant therapy exist. Which adjuvant therapy is best for you is based on your type of cancer and its stage. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy uses chemicals to kill cancer cells, either by preventing them from multiplying or by causing the cells to self-destruct.
