Book ChapterDOI
Adaptive Evolution of the Genetic Code
TL;DR: The evidence that vari-ous aspects of the genetic code, including its composition, its degeneracy and the assignments of particular codons to particular amino acids are in some sense optimal, chosen over alterna-tives by natural selection is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Alpha‐diversity and presence/relative abundance of specific genera from the oral and fecal microbiome were strongly correlated among breast cancer cases, but weakly correlated among controls, and many oral microbial metrics were strongly associated with breast cancer and nonmalignant breast disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redrawing therapeutic boundaries: microbiota and cancer.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of the cancer-associated microbiota in clinical oncology and found that the host's proximal and distal microbiota influence both cancer incidence and therapeutic responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a hyperphagic mouse fed with a Western diet (WD) to elucidate the cross-talk and kinetics of hepatic and extrahepatic alterations during NASH-HCC progression, as well as regression.
