Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Emerging evidence has shown that aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays important roles in cancer progression. However, little is known about the potential role of miR-217 in GC. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-217 on GC cell proliferation and invasion. The expression of miR-217 was down-regulated in G...

Kur’an’da, dağların ve kuşların Hz. Dâvûd’la birlikte Allah’ı tesbih ettikleri kendisine
 zırh yapma sanatının öğretildiği belirtilmiş; Süleyman peygamberle ilgili olarak da
 rüzgârın emrine verildiği, kendisi için bakırın su gibi akıtıldığı, cinlerin emrinde çalıştığı
 kendisine kuş dilinin ifade edilmiştir. Geçmiş müfessirlerin kahir ekseriyeti
 tarafından bu olaylar muciz...

In this study, we investigated the diagnostic potential of serum exosomal colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE-p) long coding RNA and microRNA-217 in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). We detected high CRNDE-p and low miR-217 levels in exosomes released by multiple CRC cell lines into culture media as well as in sera from CRC xenograft mice and CRC patients. Conversely, we observed low...

OBJECTIVES Scientific interest in potential mobile phone impact on human brain and performance has significantly increased in recent years. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of mobile phone radiation on seizure threshold in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into three groups: control, acute, and chronic mobile phone radiation for 30, 60, a...

Exploring the abundant resources in the ocean requires underwater acoustic detectors with a high-sensitivity reception of low-frequency sound from greater distances and zero reflections. Here we address both challenges by integrating an easily deformable network of metal nanoparticles in a hydrogel matrix for use as a cavity-free microphone. Since metal nanoparticles can be densely implanted as...
