Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes01:05

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study02:43

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

  • To facilitate the discovery of biomedical knowledge for healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized open-source tools from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), including caCORE SDK and caGrid.
  • Developed a database system compatible with caBIG (Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid) Silver Level standards.
  • Implemented four distinct interfaces: Web-based, Java API, XML utility, and Web service.

Main Results:

  • The system provides robust and programmatically accessible biomedical information services.
  • Achieved syntactic and semantic interoperability with other biomedical resources.
  • Demonstrated successful integration of head and neck cancer tissue data.

Conclusions:

  • The developed database system effectively addresses challenges in biomedical data integration.
