- The study examined rural adolescents' attitudes towards helmet use while riding ATVs, motorcycles, and dirt bikes, highlighting the significant impact of helmet use on preventing head injuries.
- A total of 1331 participants from Iowa were surveyed, revealing that while many owned ATVs, helmet usage was notably lower for ATV riders compared to dirt bike and motorcycle riders.
- The research found lower helmet use among farm residents and vehicle owners, with a significant portion of participants expressing stronger support for helmet laws correlated with lower ownership and riding frequency.
Background: Tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is an aggressive subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma. We examined expression of cancer stem cell markers in tall cell variant compared with other well-differentiated thyroid cancers.
Methods: Expression of cancer stem cell markers was examined in 572 thyroid tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas Thyroid Cancer database and tall cell variant and papillary thyroid carcinoma tumors by immunohistochemistry.
Activating protein 2 alpha (AP-2α; encoded by ) functions as a tumor suppressor and influences response to therapy in several cancer types. We aimed to characterize regulation of the transcriptome by AP-2α in colon cancer. CRISPR-Cas9 and short hairpin RNA were used to eliminate expression in HCT116 and a panel of colon cancer cell lines.
