Summary "Identification of new Genetic Clusters in Glioblastoma Multiforme: EGFR Status and ADD3 Losses Influence Prognosis"
Glioblastoma (GB) multiforme, IDH wild-type (GB-IDHwt) is the most frequent brain tumor with poor survival rate. Glioblastoma with mutant IDH enzyme shows good prognosis. The highly genetic heterogeity is responsible…

Somatic mutations in Alzheimer’s disease neurons | CellTalk
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common age-associated neurodegenerative disorder. It is associated with the deposition of amyloid-beta oligomers and tau proteins. However, the underneath cellular dysfunction...
Identifying candidate Parkinson's disease genes by integrating genomic data | CellTalk
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder observed mostly in elderly individuals. The symptoms include tremors, muscle stiffness, slow motion, and loss of balance. It is caused when neurons of the basal ganglia region of the brain fail to...
Circular RNAs in Diagnosis of Astrocytoma | CellTalk
Astrocytoma is a type of brain tumor associated with astrocytes. Grade IV astrocytoma is commonly known as glioblastoma. Molecular-based diagnosis is challenging as it requires brain surgery for obtaining tissue samples/specimens...
Role of air pollutants in lung cancer | CellTalk
Lung cancer in never-smokers (LCINS) is the eighth most common cause of cancer death in the UK. Such patients bear distinct clinical and molecular characteristics compared to lung cancer in smokers which include EGFR mutations. The current study explores...
