TL;DR: The sesame genome will facilitate future research on the evolution of eudicots, as well as the study of lipid biosynthesis and potential genetic improvement of sesame, an important species from the order Lamiales and a high oil crop.

TL;DR: A panel of 15 significantly altered metabolites was identified, which demonstrates the ability to predict the rate of recurrence and survival for patients after surgery and chemotherapy, and is due to robust metabolic adaptations in cancer cells to increased oxidative stress as well as demand for energy, and macromolecular substrates for cell growth and proliferation.

TL;DR: Ectopic expression of miR-9 enhanced the motility of RKO cells as well as changed their morphological appearance, while cell growth remained unchanged, suggesting that miR -9 may potentially participate in the metastatic process of CRC though facilitating cell motility.

TL;DR: Mucinous adenocarcinoma, positive pre-treatment serum CEA results, and clinical T4 and N2 stages may impart difficulty for patients to achieve pCR, and histology and clinical N2 stage were independent risk factors.

TL;DR: Comparison of genomic mutations between adenoma and adenocarcinoma provides a new insight into the molecular events governing the early step of colorectal tumorigenesis.
