OBJECTIVE In spite of accumulating information about pathological aspects of sulfur mustard (SM), the precise mechanism responsible for its effects is not well understood. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Accurate normalization using appropriate reference genes, is a critical step in miRNA expression studies. In this study, we aimed to...

Breast cancer is a leading cause of related death among women worldwide and it complex disease characterized by its heterogeneity. The heterogenous characteristic the breast responsible for aggressiveness treatment resistance. stem cells (BCSCs) are population with increased propensity proliferation, differentiation, migration, invasion mammosphere formation resistance to treatment. They have a...

micrornas constitute a group of small non-coding rnas that negatively regulate gene expression. aside from their contribution to biological and pathological pathways, altered expression of micrornas is reported in bio-fluid samples, such as serum. to employ serum's micrornas as potential biomarkers, it is crucial to develop an efficient method for microrna quantification, avoiding pre-analytica...

BACKGROUND Few genetic markers useful for the screening of lung cancer risk exist. Although related research has shown that certain expression profiles of micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are different in lung cancer versus the normal lung, such as miR-29a and miR-29s, the precise molecular mechanism of lung cancer remains obscure. In order to get a better understanding of the pathogenetic mech...

BACKGROUND Investigation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in obesity, their genetic targets and influence by dietary modulators is of great interest because it may potentially identify novel pathways involved in this complex metabolic disorder and influence future therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to determine whether miRNAs expression may be influenced by conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), currently ...

In article number 2300720, Jialin Li, Yunhao Lu, Zhuan Xu, Linjun and co-workers present the observation of avalanche-like 1D CDW transition phenomenon in (TaSe4)2I achieve both a high photo responsivity 1.18 × 103 A W−1 large light on/off ratio 80 at mid infrared (MIR) region. The dimensionality influence on charge density wave for MIR photodetection is systematically investigated achieves suc...

BACKGROUND To date, no biomarkers with reasonable sensitivity and specificity for the early detection of malignant mesothelioma have been described. The use of microRNAs (miRNAs) as minimally-invasive biomarkers has opened new opportunities for the diagnosis of cancer, primarily because they exhibit tumor-specific expression profiles and have been commonly observed in blood of both cancer patie...

Adolescent binge alcohol abuse induces long-term changes in gene expression, which impacts the physiological stress response and memory formation, two functions mediated in part by the ventral (VH) and dorsal (DH) hippocampus. microRNAs (miRs) are small RNAs that play an important role in gene regulation and are potential mediators of long-term changes in gene expression. Two genes important fo...

The role of neuronal noncoding RNAs in energy control of the body is not fully understood. The arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus comprises neurons regulating food intake and body weight. Here we show that Dicer-dependent loss of microRNAs in these neurons of adult (DicerCKO) mice causes chronic overactivation of the signaling pathways involving phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), Akt,...
