A PCR-based high-throughput screen with multiround sample pooling: application to somatic cell gene targeting
Here, we describe a method of systematic PCR screening with multiround sample pooling for the isolation of rare PCR-positive samples. As an example, we have applied this protocol to the recovery of gene-target...

Open AccessIntegrative and comparative genomics analysis of early hepatocellular carcinoma differentiated from liver regeneration in young and old
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and hence typically has a poor prognosis. To identify distinct molecula...

Open AccessThe growth response to androgen receptor signaling in ERα-negative human breast cells is dependent on p21 and mediated by MAPK activation
Although a high frequency of androgen receptor (AR) expression in human breast cancers has been described, exploiting this knowledge for therapy has been challenging. This is in part because androgens can eith...

Male breast cancer: a disease distinct from female breast cancer
Male breast cancer (BC) is rare, representing approximately 1% of cancers that occur in men and approximately 1% of all BCs worldwide. Because male BC is rare, not much is known about the disease, and treatmen...
