Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor in both humans and dogs, occurring approximately 10 times more frequently in dogs. OS is a highly aggressive neoplasm with evidence of metastasis often found at the time of diagnosis. Long-term survival in afflicted dogs continues to remain low despite aggressive...
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary skeletal tumor in dogs accounting for 85% of bone tumors and nearly 6% of all canine neoplasms. They are highly aggressive tumors that carry a poor prognosis despite intensive treatment, highlighting the need for more effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Recent research in...
Feline injection site sarcomas (FISS) are frequently encountered cutaneous and subcutaneous neoplasms of cats. Significant patient morbidity is related to the invasiveness these tumors display, typically requiring extensive local excision or amputation. As with many veterinary tumors, survival time and tumor recurrence for FISS is highly influenced by histologic margin...
Background
Bcl11b, previously CTIP2, is a zinc finger nuclear transcription factor involved in the development of keratinocytes, teeth, T lymphocytes, and nervous tissue. Expression of Bcl11b has been reported in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and increased expression correlates with poorly differentiated tumors. This study aimed to...
The endogenous circadian clock is an intracellular transcriptional feedback loop timing daily patterns of multiple biological rhythms within a 24-hour period. Disturbance in various rhythms leads to alteration of normal biological processes including cellular proliferation and tumor suppression. Endogenous circadian clock rhythms have been found to be disrupted in breast...
