These are all important activities that affect the balance of host-tumour cell interactions. This chapter expands on these functions and also the role that LPLs could play as a potential treatment target in the future.Dysregulated Wnt signaling plays a central role in initiation, progression, and metastasis in many types of human cancers. Cancer…[Read more]

Etching of gold core of the nanoclusters in the acceptor resulted in quenching of the red emission, was monitored by two methods, i.e. “fluorometric detection” (λex 490 nm, λem 630 nm) and “image capture” of the acceptor under the UV irradiation by a smart phone’s camera. Two calibrations were plotted accordingly to their detections and good l…[Read more]

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a pleiotropic glycoprotein which plays a role in regulating cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. However, to date little is known about its functions in crustaceans. In this study, we successfully identified SpEGFR from mud crab Scylla paramamosain. RT-PCR result showed that SpEGFR was…[Read more]
