Circulating biomarkers, such as circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA) or circulating tumor cells(CTCs) may enhance our treatment options by focusing on the very cells that are the direct precursors of distant metastatic disease, and probably inherently different than the primary tumor's biology. To shift the current clinical paradigm, assessing tumor biology in real time by molecularly profiling CTCs or ctDNA may serve to discover therapeutic targets, detect minimal residual disease and predict response to treatment. This review serves to elucidate the detection,characterization, and clinical application of CTCs and ctDNA with the goal of precision treatment of breast cancer.展开更多

In this research, the authors introduce BLAST and some other important algorithms to create transmembrane protein databases. These databases are acquired from well-known databases such as NCBI or Swiss-Prot as template, and then collect all possible transmembrane protein by using BLAST or physical character. After collect these databases, the authors will aim at each nucleotide sequences to design the probes of oligonucleotide microarray, which can detect the high express transmembrane proteins very efficiently. Finally, the authors can accelerate the anti-cancer drug discovery by using these databases. Result: This study constructed a web service, the Transmembrane Protein Database, to researchers that are interested in or need to oligonucleotide microarray probe design for detecting potential targets of antibody drug. With user friendly web based windows containing each necessary selections, users can easily choose the parameters and get the suitable probe design suggestions. Conclusion: Transmembrane protein database is very important and powerful in detecting cancers or other human disease. By using this database, the authors offer a good strategy in transmembrane protein research as well.展开更多
