The Ts65Dn mouse is a segmentally trisomic model for Down syndrome. Until now, Ts65Dn mice have been identified by the laborious methods of either chromosomal analysis of cultured peripheral lymphocytes or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). We report here a quantitative PCR method for genotyping Ts65Dn mice, as well as a phenotypic description for visually preclassifying mice to be genotyped.

Background: Dysbiosis of the lung microbiome can contribute to the initiation and progression of lung cancer. Synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC) is an increasingly recognized subtype of lung cancer characterized by high morbidity, difficulties in early detection, poor prognosis, and substantial clinical challenges. However, the relationship between sMPLC pathogenesis and changes in the lung microbiome remains unclear.

Background: The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) are central human molecules in the SARS-CoV-2 virus-host interaction. Evidence indicates that may influence expression. This study aims to determine whether ACE1, ACE2, and TMPRSS2 mRNA expression levels, along with the ACE1 Alu 287 bp polymorphism (rs4646994), contribute to the severity and mortality of COVID-19.

Introduction: Primary cilia play an important role in the development of cancer by regulating signaling pathways. Several studies have demonstrated that women with mutations have, on average, 50% fewer ciliated cells compared with general women. However, the role of tubal cilia loss in the development of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear.

Chemoresistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). Notably, aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRs) is closely related to tumor development and progression. In the present study, the role of miR-424-5p in the chemoresistance of GC was investigated.

Background: Polydatin (3,4',5-trihydroxy-3-β-d-glucopyranoside, PD) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Oxaliplatin (OXA)-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for metastatic and recurrent colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the lack of selectivity for normal cells often results in side effects.
