Some of the optical properties of the thallium halides have been known for a considerable time. The residual rays of some of these substances were measured by Rubens and ",Vartenberg 1 in 1914. The maxima of the refl ection bands were 9l.9 !L for TICI, 117 !L for TlBr, and 152 J.l. for TIl. These reflection maxima fall in thclongw"avelength region of the infrared. This fact indicated that the a...

The etiology and development of human cancers that remain little understood might be enlightened by defining tumor suppressor microRNAs (TS-miRNA). In this study, we identified TS-miRNAs silenced by aberrant DNA hypermethylation in endometrial cancer. Functional screening of 327 synthetic miRNAs in an endometrial cancer cell proliferation assay identified 103 miRNAs that inhibited cell growth. ...
