Acquired tolerance of hepatocellular carcinoma cells to selenium deficiency: a selective survival mechanism?
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2003)Selenium is essential to human health, and its deficiency is associated with different diseases including liver necrosis. Selenium is protective against viral hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The underlying ... -
Aflatoxin genotoxicity is associated with a defective DNA damage response bypassing p53 activation
(John Wiley & Sons, 2011)Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths. Aflatoxins, which may play a causative role in 5-28% of HCCs worldwide, are activated in liver cells and induce principally G→T mutations, ... -
Classification of agricultural kernels using impact acoustic signal processing
(Bilkent University, 2006)The quality is the main factor that directly affects the price for many agricultural produces. The quality depends on different properties of the produce. Most important property is associated with health of consumers. ... -
Detection of underdeveloped hazelnuts from fully developed nuts by impact acoustics
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2006)Shell-to-kernel weight ratio is a vital measurement of quality in hazelnuts as it helps to identify nuts that have underdeveloped kernels. Nuts containing underdeveloped kernels may contain mycotoxin-producing molds, which ... -
Genetic aspects of hepatocellular carcinogenesis
(1999)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is linked etiologically to viruses (hepatitis B virus [HBV] and hepatitis C virus [HCV]), chemical carcinogens (i.e., aflatoxins), and other environmental and host factors causing chronic ... -
Signal and image processing algorithms for agricultural applications
(Bilkent University, 2006)Medical studies indicate that acrylamide causes cancer in animals and certain doses of acrylamide are toxic to the nervous system of both animals and humans. Acrylamide is produced in carbohydrate foods prepared at high ...
