Project description:<p>Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder with complex pathogenesis and limited treatment options. The current reliance on clinical evaluation for diagnosis, due to the absence of reliable non-invasive methods, presents significant challenges. Traditional diagnostic approaches, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or blood sampling, are invasive, pose risks of infection, are costly, and often require complex procedures. Tongue coating sampling offers a non-invasive, cost-effective and repeatable alternative, showing promise for early detection and monitoring of PD. This study explores the feasibility of using tongue coating samples as a diagnostic tool for PD through microbiome analysis, with metabolomics data providing additional context and validation via machine learning models.</p>
Project description:Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is a tumour type with rather low five year survival, around 60%. The poor survival rate has been ascribed to late detection, a high frequency of locoregional recurrence, the occurrence of secondary primary tumours and death due to comorbidity. One reason for development of recurrence is thought to be the existence of transformed cells in areas adjacent to the primary tumour, cancerization field effect. The aim of this study was to map the changes in the tumour free tongue tissue adjacent to tongue tumours compared with healthy control tongue tissue to better understand the cancerization field effect. Tissue biopsies were collected from tumour (T) and tumour free tissue adjacent to the tumour (TF) from patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Control tissue was collected from latter border of the tongue of tumour free healthy volunteers (C). All samples were homogenized and RNA was extracted. The RNA was biotin labelled and run on Illumina HT-12 bead chip array.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34105: Gene expression profiling of archival tongue carcinoma and normal tongue tissue (all samples) GSE34106: Gene expression profiling of archival tongue carcinoma and normal tongue tissue (subset) Refer to individual Series
Project description:Nine groups of rat tongue tissue RNA samples, including three from normal control, three from 4NQO induced tongue tissue, and three from 4NQO induced and IL-1Ra interference tongue tissue (3 rats per group) were collected for gene microarray hybridization.
Project description:We aimed to understand the molecular basis of muscular development in tongue. We focused on the critical stages of tongue myogenesis, namely, E10.5 (settlement of myogenic progenitors in tongue primordium), E11.5 (initiation of myoblast differentiation with the development of lateral lingual swellings).
