Molecular Diagnostics

Image: Immunofluorescence image of human stomach section stained for ARHGAP26 (green), epithelial cadherin (red), and cell nuclei (blue). Epithelial cadherin is present in all epithelial cell types of the stomach, whereas ARHGAP26 is restricted to parietal cells (Photo courtesy of A*STAR\'s Genome Institute of Singapore).

Genomic Aberrations of Asian Gastric Cancer Discovered

The fusion of two genes gives rise to the destruction of the stomach surface barrier, resulting in gastric acids affecting the stomach tissues; moreover, this fusion also hampers wound-healing.  More...
