BACKGROUND: Despite a myriad of attempts in the last three decades to diagnose ovarian cancer (OC) earlier, this clinical aim still remains a significant challenge. Aberrant methylation patterns of linked CpGs analyzed in DNA fragments shed by cancer...
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation has been implicated as a promising biomarker for precise cancer diagnosis. However, limited DNA methylation-based biomarkers have been described in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
DNA methyltransferase (MTase) plays an important role in many biological processes and has been recognized as a predictive cancer biomarker far before other signs of malignancy and a therapeutic target in cancer treatment. Thus simple and sensitive d...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The O-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation has been shown to be associated with improved outcomes in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) and may be a predictive marker of sensitivity to chemotherapy. ...
The analysis of DNA methylation and MTase activities is very important in the early clinical diagnosis of cancer, on purposes of providing insights into the mechanism of gene repression and developing novel drugs of treating methylation-related disea...

Breast cancer histologic grade represents the morphological assessment of the tumor's malignancy and aggressiveness, which is vital in clinically planning treatment and estimating prognosis for patients. Therefore, the prediction of breast cancer gra...
T cell anergy is one of the important mechanisms for immune tolerance. The results of many studies investigating the mechanism for T cell anergy induction have revealed that the expression of several genes was up-regulated in anergic T cells. It has ...
