In this paper, 4 microRNAs and their targets were predicted through a de novo prediction procedure in the genome of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus. Through clustalW analysis, these 4 microRNAs were recognized as novel PRRSV derivate microRNAs. Target prediction results showed PRRSV mir-1, 2 and 4 have total 16 targets in porcine 3’ UTR database. These targets could be divid...

Dieser Beitrag präsentiert ein webbasiertes Serious Game, das Studierenden in medizinischen Studiengängen die Möglichkeit gibt, Arzt-PatientenGespräche in Form von Rollenspielen mit simulierten Patienten selbständig und systematisch zu trainieren. Der Phase der Immersion (Rollenspiel) folgt dabei eine Phase der distanzierten Reflexion, um den lernförderlichen Perspektivenwechsel zu unterstützen...

objective: cardiac cell differentiation with the help of mirnas has recently opened a promising window for the restoration of myocardial infarction. independent mir-1-2/133a-1 and mir-206/133b clusters are known to be expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscles, respectively. mir-133b differs from mir-133a by only one nucleotide. the sequence similarity of these two mirnas suggests that they targ...

Background: Colorectal and breast carcinoma are frequently diagnosed cancers. At advanced stages, cancers metastasize to certain organs resulting in loss of function these organs, eventually death. Therefore, there is a specific need for the prognosis Currently, microRNAs (miRNAs), have emerged as new target cancer-specific biomarker. Objective: To examine expression miRNA primary metastatic co...

Introduction Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organic lipophilic pollutants that accumulate through diet and increase with age, have been associated polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) shown to affect microRNA (miRNA) expression. This work aimed determine if PCBs were circulating miRNAs whether there any correlations serum PCB/miRNA levels hormonal changes. Methods 29 non-obese PCOS healthy contr...

in the recent years deregulation for micrornas expression pattern have emerged as a possible molecular factor for carcinogenesis. it has been reported that the expression of mir-9 was down-regulated in human gastric adenocarcinoma. to figure out the molecular mechanism of this down regulation, the methylation status in promoters of mir-9 family loci were compared in the human gastric adenocarci...

Abstract Background Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. PCAT is source microRNAs (miRs) that acts as messengers for intercellular communication. In this study, we investigated whether surrounding coronary occlusive atherosclerotic lesions shows specific miR expression patterns compared to plaque-free segments. Purpose To evaluate miRs are ...
