Vitamin D: any of a group of vitamins found in liver and fish oils, essential for the absorption of calcium and the prevention of rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. They include calciferol ( vitamin D2 ) and cholecalciferol ( vitamin D3 ). Vitamin D is important for good overall health and strong and healthy bones. It’s also an important factor in making sure your muscles, heart, lungs and brain work well and that your body can fight infection. Your body can make its own vitamin D from sunlight. You can also get vitamin D from supplements and a very small amount comes from a few foods you eat.

As the most common female malignancy, breast cancer is the most likely reason that a woman will die of cancer around the world. Breast cancer mortality has dropped in the U.S. by 35% since 19...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Large-scale sequencing studies have revealed the complex genomic landscape of NSCLC and genomic differences between lun...
Two projects looking at novel approaches to targeting inflammatory breast cancer will be presented. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique, understudied, and most lethal subtype account...
The oncogenic transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is deregulated, and often overexpressed, in more than 50% of cancers. MYC deregulation is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive disease,...
In the past two decades a small number of infrequently dividing cells have been proposed as the source of multi-drug resistance during cancer treatment. These cells identified by their expres...
PacBio Sequencing simultaneously provides long sequence reads, high consensus accuracy, minimal sequence bias, and methylation detection. I will highlight new advances and updates on applying...
To date the anatomic extent of tumor (TNM-classification) has been by far the most important factors to predict the prognosis of cancer patients. However, this classification provides limited...
RNA sequencing unlocks the mysteries hidden in the transcriptome. Whether your goal is gene expression analysis, gene fusion analysis, SNP analysis or miRNA expression analysis, achieving hig...
High-throughput screening is widely useful in identifying genes and pathways that drive changes in cell behavior such as cell cycle regulation, metastasis, and drug resistance. Millipor...
