Abstract Two APOBEC DNA cytosine deaminase enzymes, APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B, generate somatic mutations in cancer, thereby driving tumour development drug resistance. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to study APOBEC3B expression healthy malignant mucosal epithelia, validating key observations with immunohistochemistry, spatial transcriptomics functional experiments. Whereas is expressed keratinocytes entering mitosis, show that confined largely terminally differentiating cells requires...

A series of bis-benzimidazole compounds with a head-to-head orientation have been designed as sequence-specific DNA binders; crystallographic analysis oligonucleotide complexes has combined DNase I footprinting to confirm that the predicted optimal site for core motif is four-base-pair sequence 5′-AATT; this specificity results in inhibition transcription at A/T sites and may be responsible cytotoxic antitumour effects shown by these bis-benzimidazoles.

Veterinary nurses are directly involved with providing advice and gaining informed consent for ovariohysterectomy in bitches. In order to allow them provide accurate information regarding this common procedure it is vital they fully understand the potential advantages disadvantages procedure. It very easy clients gain information, often inaccurate, from internet sources so be able correct evidence-based therefore confidence of client, implications any surgery which consent. accountable their...
