Abstract
Molecular genetic mechanisms show diversity during prostate carcinogenesis due to extensive tumor heterogeneity and gene complexity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in initiation and progression of prostate cancer will lead to the development of strategies for early detection, prevention and therapeutic intervention. This review focuses on inheritable and sporadic prostate cancer genes involved in proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, tumor suppression, apoptosis, and cellular stress responses.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
