Identification of Mutations that Encode Drug Resistance in the Polymerase Gene of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus by Zhengxian Gu, Hengsheng Fang, Horacio Salomon, Qing Gao, Mark A Wainberg

“…These mutations were further demonstrated by PCH analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 10 patients on long term ddC therapy, although variable patterns were observed in terms of which of the two mutations or both were present. Sometimes, the wild-type site 65 codon was also detected, indicating the presence of mixtures of viral quasi-species. …”

Transcriptomic landscape of Hras12V oncogene-induced hepatocarcinogenesis with gender disparity by Huaiyuan Di, Zhuona Rong, Nan Mao, Huiling Li, Jun Chen, Renwu Liu, Aiguo Wang

“…A transcriptomic database was established via RNA-Seq of HCC (T) and the adjacent precancerous liver tissue (P) of Hras12V transgenic mice (Ras-Tg, HCC model) and the normal liver tissue of wild-type mice (W) of both sexes. Comparative analysis within W, P, and T and correlation expression pattern analysis revealed common/unique cluster-enriched items towards HCC between the sexes. …”

The Intrauterine and Nursing Period Is a Window of Susceptibility for Development of Obesity and Intestinal Tumorigenesis by a High Fat Diet in Min/+ Mice as Adults by Ha Thi Ngo, Ragna Bogen Hetland, Inger-Lise Steffensen

“…The mice were given a 10% fat diet throughout life (negative control) or a 45% fat diet in utero, during nursing, during both in utero and nursing, during adult life, or during their whole life-span, and terminated at 11 weeks for tumorigenesis (Min/+) or 23 weeks for obesogenic effect (wild-type). Body weight at 11 weeks was increased after a 45% fat diet during nursing, during both in utero and nursing, and throughout life, but had normalized at 23 weeks. …”
