THE ADAPTATION OF COLORECTAL CANCER CELLS WHEN FORMING METASTASES IN THE LIVER: EXPRESSION OF ASSOCIATED GENES AND PATHWAYS IN A MOUSE MODEL

The adaptation of colorectal cancer cells when forming metastases in the liver: expression of associated genes and pathways in a mouse model

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women.Systemic disease with metastatic spread to distant sites such as the liver reduces the survival rate considerably.The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in gene expression that occur on invasion and expansion of CRC cells w

Laboratory study of the nutrient release rate for vinasse on sandy soil and three coastal clay soils of Guyana

Purpose Vinasse is produced in large quantities as a by-product from bioethanol production.To ensure environmental sustainability, a beneficial use was sought.Previous study showed that short-term crops grown with vinasse-amended soil provided higher yield than crops treated with chemical NPK (15:15:15) fertilizer.To understand this phenomenon, thi
