“Biomarkers” for Translational Success in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Comparative Analysis of the Research to Practice Trends in Breast Cancer and ALS to Identify Systematic Indicators of Translational Success
Translating research findings into practical therapies for neurodegenerative diseases remains a formidable challenge in biomedical research. This challenge arises from the diseases’ inherent heterogeneity and complexity. Interestingly, similar obstacles were historically encountered in breast …

Identification of Subclass-Specific Biomarkers by Developing an Integrated Database of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the common diseases to Western female in times past but westernized life style leads to increased incidence of breast cancer in Asian female. Many risk factors like life style, family history and genetic factors can induce breast cancer. Microarray is widely used to measure …

Exploring the physiotherapeutic needs of breast cancer patients: A qualitative study of patient experience
… their treatment pathway following a diagnosis of breast cancer. As the number of breast cancer survivors increases the need for research into the impact of breast cancer and its treatment has been recognised as a priority for the NHS. It is acknowledged that breast cancer patients have specific …

Nonlinear optical microscopy and spectroscopy by pulse shaping of a coherent fiber supercontinuum
… supercontinuum is demonstrated and applied to breast cancer research. The supercontinuum is generated in an all-normal-dispersion fiber, achieving a spectrum spanning the optical biological window with high coherence and high power. Efficient two-photon and three-photon fluorescence microscopy, …

THE NRF-1/GABP/BRCA1 Transcriptional Network in Mammary Epithelial Differentiation
… One of the more compelling hypotheses in breast cancer research is that transformation of a particular cell within the hierarchy will initiate a tumour with a specific molecular profile and clinical outcome. If this is true, valuable insight into tumourigenesis can be gained by …

Trim24 As An Oncogene In The Mammary Gland
<p>Despite the many advances made in breast cancer research and treatments, breast cancer remains one of the deadliest diseases plaguing women worldwide. While many findings on genetic mutations and their role in predisposing people to breast cancer have been uncovered, we are just beginning to …

Is the biology of breast cancer changing?: An exploration of breast cancer incidence and molecular epidemiology in Scottish women
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in Scotland, in common with many Western countries. This thesis aimed to analyse changes in the incidence and molecular epidemiology of breast cancer in Scotland. Part 1 concentrated on epidemiological research, with data derived from various agencies, …

Sense-making in theory and practice: a metatheoretical foundation and application for health information seeking
… applicability to practical information seeking research. In Chapter One I trace the philosophical origins of Brenda Dervin’s theory known as “sense making,” reaching beyond current scholarship that locates the origins of sense-making in twentieth-century Phenomenology and Communication theory …

The Complex Association Between Cholesterol Metabolism and Cancer Risk
… and has consequently sparked a great deal of research into factors that might influence the cardiovascular system (Roger et al., 2012). Total serum cholesterol levels (TC) have been found to significantly correlate with cardiovascular diseases (Siegel et al., 2012). This has driven researchers …

The perioperative setting as a platform for breast cancer biomarker development
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with 2.3 million new cases globally in 2022 (1). ‘Neoadjuvant’ systemic therapy prior to surgery is the standard of care for stage II-III human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. The identification of predictive …

Microenvironmental Modulation of Breast Cancer Stem Cells Through Biological Matrix
<p> Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among American women and almost 12.5% of the women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the course of her lifetime. Recent advancement in breast cancer research has identified a rare, highly tumorigenic population of cells within tumors …

A study of functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles for selective recognition of kappa-casein: a breast cancer biomarker.
… plays a crucial role in the early detection of breast cancer. In this research, functionalized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were used for selective recognition of kappa casein (kcn) a breast cancer biomarker. The Fe3O4 was synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The particles were then …
