MicroRNAs: Something New Under the Sun
نویسندگان
چکیده
MicroRNAs are plentiful in plants, as in animals. The effects of mutations which disrupt their processing imply that miRNAs have important roles in plant development. Although the targets of these miRNAs are still not known, excellent candidates have been identified based on sequence similarity to the miRNAs.

Field Cancerization: Something New Under the Sun
Mutations in keratinocyte and melanocyte precursors that are caused by extensive sun exposure are well-established contributors to skin cancer. Now Hu et al. provide evidence that the sun's harmful rays may also cause tumor-promoting epigenetic modifications in dermal fibroblasts, highlighting further the importance of tumor-stroma interactions in cancer.
متن کاملA review on miRNAs as new biomarkers for colorectal cancer
Background & Objective: Since colorectal cancer does not often have phenotypic symptoms in the early stages, the study of biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of the tumor is very important. MicroRNAs are one of the most important biomarkers which attract the attention of many researchers due to a variety of reasons, including their non-invasive nature; these molecules are a group of non-...

متن کاملMicroRNAs as a New Molecular Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL): A Systematic Review
MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...
متن کاملDifferential genes expression analysis of invasive aspergillosis: a bioinformatics study based on mRNA/microRNA
Invasive aspergillosis is a severe opportunistic infection with high mortality in immunocompromised patients. Recently, the roles of microRNAs have been taken into consideration in the immune system and inflammatory responses. Using bioinformatics approaches, we aimed to study the microRNAs related to invasive aspergillosis to understand the molecular pathways involved in the disease pathogenes...
