Biomarker Profile of Colorectal Cancer: Current Findings and Future Perspective.

Objective: Breakthroughs in omics technology have led to a deeper understanding of the fundamental molecular changes that play a critical role in the development and progression of cancer. This review delves into the hidden molecular drivers of colorectal cancer (CRC), offering potential for clinical translation through novel biomarkers and personalized therapies.

Methods: We summarizes recent studies utilizing various omics approaches, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, metabolomics and data integration with computational algorithms, to investigate CRC.

Mercury concentration in the feathers of birds from various trophic levels in Fereydunkenar International wetland (Iran).

Mercury (Hg) is one of the main global pollutants that may biomagnify in food nets, especially in wetlands. Birds may be useful in the biomonitoring of Hg in such habitats and may even serve in vivo samples. This paper examined Hg concentration in the feathers of seven bird species foraging on Fereydunkenar International wetland (in 2013).

Mercury contamination in commercial fresh and salt water fish of the Zabol Chahnimeh reservoirs and the Gulf of Oman (Iran).

In order to investigate bioaccumulation of mercury in Iranian coastal waters fish, tiger tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) and yellowspotted trevally (Carangoides fulvoguttatus) from the Gulf of Oman and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) from Zabol Chahnimeh reservoirs were sampled in May 2012. In these ecosystems, total mercury concentrations were measured in muscle and gill of these four fish species. Both regions did not reveal a significant difference.
