Trabecular bone structure has an important influence on bone strength, but little is known about its genetic regulation.To elucidate the genetic factor(s) regulating trabecular bone structure, we compared the trabecular bone structures of two genetically remote mouse strains, C57BL/6J and Japanese wild mouse-derived MSM/Ms.Phenotyping by X-ray micr

Gene expression predicts dormant metastatic breast cancer cell phenotype
Abstract Mugs Background Breast cancer can recur months to decades after an initial diagnosis and treatment.The mechanisms that control tumor cell dormancy remain poorly understood, making it difficult to predict which patients will recur and thus benefit from more rigorous screening and treatments.Unfortunately, the extreme rarity of dormant DTCs
