The aim of this study was to compare next-generation sequencing (NGS) with the traditional fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for detecting segmental chromosomal aberrations (SCAs) such as 1p deletion, 11q deletion and 17q gain, which are well-known predictive markers for adverse outcome in neuroblastoma.The tumor tissue obtained from 35 pat
Vocal signals such as calls play a crucial role for Embroidered Cap survival and successful reproduction, especially in group-living animals.However, call interactions and call dynamics within groups remain largely unexplored because their relation to relevant contexts or life-history stages could not be studied with individual-level resolution.Usi
Under climate change and increasing water demands, groundwater depletion has become regional and global threats for water security, which is an indispensable target to achieving sustainable developments of human society and ecosystems, especially in arid and semiarid regions where groundwater is a major water source.In this study, groundwater deple
The accumulation of poorly differentiated cells is a hallmark of breast neoplasia and progression.Thus an understanding of the factors controlling mammary differentiation is critical to a proper understanding of breast tumourigenesis.The Inhibitor of Differentiation 1 (Id1) protein has well documented roles Commercial Convection Ovens in the contro
Androgen receptor (AR), an important target in the current androgen derivation therapy, plays a critical role in the development and progress of prostate cancer (PCa).Nonsteroidal antiandrogens, such as enzalutamide and bicalutamide, are commonly used in clinic to treat PCa.Though they are very effective at the beginning, drug resistance problem ap
