MicroRNA miR-378 plays important roles in tumorigenesis by enhancing cell survival, reducing apoptosis, promoting tumor growth, angiogenesis and promoting cell migration and invasion. Abnormal expression of miR-378 has been observed in various types of cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression status of miR-378 and its clinical significance in patients with acute myeloid ...

Due to increasing prevalence of obesity, a simple method or methods for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome are urgently required to reduce the risk of associated cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. This study aimed to identify a miRNA biomarker that may distinguish metabolic syndrome from obesity and to investigate if such a miRNA may have functional relevance for metabolic syndrome. ...

We report the discovery of a massive protostar M17~MIR embedded in hot molecular core M17. The multiwavelength data obtained during 1993--2019 show significant mid-IR (MIR) variations, which can be split into three stages: decreasing phase 1993.03--mid-2004, quiescent from mid-2004 to mid-2010, and rebrightening mid-2010 until now. variation 22\,GHz H$_2$O maser emission, together with MIR vari...

AIM: To compare the clinicopathological features of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and to investigate the role of hsa-miR-96 and hsa-miR-217 in these two lesions. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded pancreatic specimens were selected in this study, including 58 cases of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs), 45...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that have been identified in animals, plants, and viruses. These small RNAs play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of various cellular processes, including development, differentiation, and all aspects of cancer biology. Rapid-onset T-cell lymphoma of chickens, namely Marek's disease (MD), induced by Gallid alphaherpesvirus 2 (GaHV2)...
