The assessment of aggressiveness and risk death in papillary thyroid cancer children is currently based on clinical criteria. To ensure a more accurate stratification, new criteria various molecular genetic markers are constantly being sought. article studied the dependence pathological manifestations level expression microRNAs presence BRAF mutation. It was found that mutation present 20.4% ca...

Patients at the same pathological stage of esophageal cancer (EC) that received the same surgical therapy by the same surgeon may have distinct prognoses. The current study aimed to explore the possibility of differentially- expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) underlying this phenomenon. Samples were collected from EC patients at the same tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage but with different prognoses....

Systems for the archival of musical documents digitally and development of digital music libraries are currently being researched and developed extensively. However, adapting these systems for the archival and retrieval of Malaysian music materials might not be as straightforward due to the distinct differences in musical structure and modes of non-Western music. This paper covers the motivatio...

Despite advances in colon cancer research and novel therapies, high risk of recurrence remains a major challenge. This study reports miRNA expression profiling as a biomarker for the prognosis of TNM stage II and III colon cancer. Fresh frozen biopsies from the study cohort (N=111) were analyzed for miRNA by RT-qPCR and LASSO regression analysis was used to build a classifier of miRNAs. The pro...

Notch plays a critical role in the transition from proliferation to differentiation in the epidermis and corneal epithelium. Furthermore, aberrant Notch signaling is a feature of diseases like psoriasis, eczema, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and melanoma where differentiation and proliferation are impaired. Whereas much is known about the downstream events following Notch signaling, factors responsi...

BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a common cause of pediatric hospitalization. microRNA, key regulators of the immune system, have not previously been investigated in respiratory specimens during viral infection. We investigated microRNA expression in the nasal mucosa of 42 RSV-positive infants, also comparing microRNA expression between disease severity subgroups. MET...
