Protocol
Nanopore Sequencing and Its Clinical Applications
Nanopore sequencing is a method for determining the order and modifications of DNA/RNA nucleotides by detecting the electric current variations when DNA/RNA oligonucleotides pass through the nanometer-sized ho...

Protocol
Endoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly disease, partly because it is often diagnosed late in disease stage. An accurate early diagnosis by endoscopy could detect advanced carcinoma as well as cu...

Protocol
Orthotopic Pancreatic Tumor Mouse Models of Liver Metastasis
The survival from pancreatic cancer is poor because most patients are diagnosed after the cancer has metastasized. Liver is the most common site of pancreatic cancer metastasis. Orthotopic mouse models of live...

Protocol
Assessment of Stabilization and Activity of the HIFs Important for Hypoxia-Induced Signalling in Cancer Cells
Blood vessels in tumors contain chaotic branching structures and leaky vessel lumens, resulting in uneven supply of oxygen in the tumor microenvironment. High metabolic and proliferation rate of tumor cells fu...
