Esophageal cancer is a common cause of cancer death worldwide. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most predominant type. Certain microRNAs (miRNAs) function in tumorgenesis involved in important biological and pathologic processes. To reveal miRNAs’ signatures of ESCC, we analyzed miRNAs extracted from ESCC cell lines with the microRNA microarray. The significant alterations were ...

mirs are 17-25 nucleotide non-coding rnas. these rnas target approximately 80% of protein coding mrnas. mirs control gene expression and altered expression of them affects the development of cancer. mirs can function as tumor suppressor via down-regulation of proto-oncogenes and may function as oncogenes by suppressing tumor suppressors. myeloproliferative neoplasias (formerly known as chronic ...

Background: Nodding Syndrome (NS), previously called Nodding Disease, is a chronic and debilitating illness affecting thousands of children aged 3-18 years in post-conflict Northern Uganda and South Sudan. Characterised by malnutrition, stunted growth, mental retardation and seizures, some researchers have designated it as epilepsy. With reports appearing in Northern Uganda in1997, NS reached e...

objective: different signaling pathways have been identified that are involved in the cellular response to opiates. the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway is one of the most important signaling pathways underlying the neuronal response to opiates. micrornas (mirnas) are considered to be post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression with paramount significance, which plays key roles i...

Drug resistance is the leading cause of death in prostate cancer patients. Therefore, exploring mechanism underlying drug and identifying novel therapeutic targets are urgently needed. Long non-coding ribonucleic acid disrupted renal carcinoma 3 acts as a tumor suppressor gene several types. However, to date, no study has investigated biological function long cancer. Gene expression was detecte...
