Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes01:33

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes

9.1K
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.

Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

5.7K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

423
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Epitopes are molecular targets of T cell and B cell immune responses.
  • Cancer epitopes, derived from cancer antigens, are recognized by anti-cancer immune cells.
  • Understanding cancer epitopes is crucial for developing immunotherapies and characterizing cancer immunopathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish The Cancer Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (CEDAR).
  • To catalog all available cancer epitope and receptor data.
  • To provide a freely accessible resource for researchers.

Main Methods:

  • Curated data from scientific literature.
  • Data cataloging and analysis of cancer epitopes.
  • Development of a web-accessible database.

Main Results:

  • Established CEDAR, a comprehensive collection of cancer epitope data.
  • CEDAR serves as a companion to the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB).
  • The resource is freely accessible at https://cedar.iedb.org/.

Conclusions:

  • CEDAR enhances the understanding of cancer immunology.
  • Facilitates research in cancer immunotherapy development.
  • Supports the characterization of immune responses in cancer.
