...rence and development of breast cancer. Fresh breast cancer case samples and normal breast cell samples were collected. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of LGR5 and (phosphorylated IQGAP1)/(IQGAP1). Construct metastatic human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line knocking down LGR5. The relative expression levels of LGR5 and phosphorylated IQ...

...kistani women has become breast cancer patients. Genetic polymorphisms of the Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene were studied at position -1082 (G/A) in breast cancer patients in the Pakistani population. Breast cancer patients (n= 200) were recruited from different local tertiary care hospitals along with healthy subjects (n=100) for molecular analysis of the human IL-10 gene mutation at the -10...

After the remaining birds received feed withdrawal, breast muscle was obtained and stored at 2°C for 3 days. LIP reduced body weight gains when the chickens were concomitantly fed AWP. LIP and AWP increased the feed conversion rates and decreased feed intakes, respectively. However, brea...

Tumor tissues were collected from 40 breast cancer patients for clinical studies. For in vitro studies, human breast cancer cell lines SK-BR-3-TS was obtained, and trastuzumab resistant model SK-BR-3-TR was constructed. Cell viability was determined using MTT ass...

The results also showed that predicted dietary calcium requirements for dressing percentage and relative weight of breast and leg were 0.86, 0.83, and 0.81% respectively. While predicted dietary calcium requirements for ash, calcium, and phosphorus content in the tibia were 0.85, 0.86, and 0.73% respectively.

...es of tumor formation in breast tissue. However, their use as a prognostic factor is not very clear. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to analyze their aberrant expression in breast tumorigenesis. A thorough literature search was performed and 73 relevant studies were identified which were further scrutinized and finally 26 studies covering 4553 subjects were included for analysis. A random effect model was applied an...

.... Post-carcass dressing, breast and thigh sections were hermetically sealed and stored at -30°C for four weeks, followed by thawing at 4°C for 24 hours. The assessment covers thaw, cooking, and drip losses, along with shear force measurements. Muscle fibers in the breast and thigh were studied via Scanning Electron Microscopy. Using a Completely Randomized Design, meat quality records underwent analysis with four tre...

... Studies have shown that breast cancer incidence is variable depending upon various factors like ethnicity among others. For a better success rate in breast cancer treatment with minimum side effects, the world is now focusing on a precision medicine approach for breast cancer treatment. In precision medicine, patient-specific gene mutation (genetic biomarkers) provides the guideline to us...

Out of 17 isolated bacteriophages, three bacteriophages (SEPL01, SEPL13, SEPL20) exhibited maximum lytic potential and broad lytic spectrum. Transmission electron microscopy analysis classified SEPL01 as a Siphovirus and SEPL13 and SEPL20 as Myoviruses. In liquid culture, phage virulence activity was rapid and high at a high (100) multiplicity of infection with phage SEPL01 depicting the bes...

The plasma total protein and triiodothyronine hormone levels were remarkably (p < 0.05) enhanced by adding FS to broiler meals. At the same time, the concentrations of alanine transferase, aspartate transferase, and uric acid were significantly (p < 0.05) lowered. Additionally, the triglycerides were dramatically (p < 0.05) decreased while the high-density lipopr...
