Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently one of the top lethal cancers with an increasing trend. Deregulation of MYC in HCC is frequently detected and always correlated with poor prognosis. As the zebrafish genome contains two differentially expressed zebrafish myc orthologs, myca and mycb, it remains unclear about the oncogenicity of...
Here we report a new transgenic expression system by combination of liver-specific expression, mifepristone induction and Cre-loxP recombination to conditionally control the expression of oncogenic kras[superscript]V12. This transgenic system allowed expression of kras[superscript]V12 specifically in the liver by a brief exposure of mifepristone to induce permanent genomic recombination mediated by...
Human liver cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common type. Aberrant Ras signaling has been implicated in the development and progression of human HCC, but a complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this protein in hepatocarcinogenesis remains elusive. In this...
The formulation of demand functions for aquatic products has been prevalently practiced worldwide, but
still represents a rather new phenomenon in the area of applied economics in Vietnam. This paper focuses
on estimates of demand functions for Norwegian salmon products. Log-linear functions are used to construct the model. The major...
