Dynamic MicroRNA-Expression in Plasma of Melanoma Patients Correlates With Progression, PD-L1 Status and Overall Survival

Mar 2024 DOI 10.14302/issn.2572-3030.jcgb-24-4970
Sarah DegenhardtCorresponding author

Melanoma treatment has improved significantly with the development of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), which has greatly enhanced the survival rates of patients with metastatic melanoma. However, a significant number of patients do not respond well to ICI treatment and experience progression. Thi…

Quantification of Micrornas by Absolute Dpcr for the Diagnostic Screening of Colon Cancer

Feb 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2471-7061.jcrc-18-2526
Farid E. AhmedCorresponding author

There is currently no validated micro(mi)RNA diagnostic stool test to screen for colon cancer (CC) on the market because of the complexity of fecal density, vulnerability of stool to daily changes, and the presence of three sources of miRNAs in stool (cell-free from fecal homogenates, exsosomal miRN…

Using A “Superrooting”Cultivar of Taxus Chinensis Var. Mairei to Unravel Antioxidative Enzymes’ and Micrornas’ Role on Adventitious Rooting

May 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2690-4829.jen-18-2048
Wei TangCorresponding author

Rooting of cuttings is very important for production of economically important plants. We produced thousands of plantlets in Taxus chinensisvar. mairei using the technology of rooting of cuttings and identified two types of rooted cuttings, one with low rate of root formation and another with high r…

MicroRNA: New Era for Therapeutic Strategy in Ischaemic Heart Disease

Jun 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2329-9487.jhc-17-1536
Md. Kamrul HossainCorresponding author

Over the last few decades, many research works highlighted the role of miRNAs on cardiac diseases. Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or coronary heart disease is a condition that is mainly caused by atherosclerosis. It has been established that microribonucleic acids regulate many factors that are invol…

MicroRNA-1285 Might Potentially Regulate OCT4 Gene Expression by Direct Targeting of its Promoter

Jan 2016 DOI 10.14302/issn.2574-4372.jesr-15-768
James E. TroskoCorresponding author

The human OCT4 gene encodes a transcription factor that maintains pluripotency and self-renewal in Embryonic Stem (ES) cells. This gene generates several known transcripts by alternative promoter and alternative splicing (OCT4A, OCT4B and OCT4B1). Even though OCT4A is the main isoform responsible fo…

MicroRNAs: As A Novel Potential Tool for Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Therapeutic Agents in Hypertension.

Oct 2015 DOI 10.14302/issn.2329-9487.jhc-15-677
Ravindra KolheCorresponding author

The aim of this review is to compile our understanding of microRNA (miRNA) and its significance in Hypertension (HTN) pathophysiology. The wide spectrum of health disparity is one of the reasons for the dominance of HTN in humans for decades. We are striving hard to understand these variations, and…

MicroRNA Profiling of Differentiated, Poorly Differentiated and Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma, a Comparative Approach

May 2015 DOI 10.14302/issn.2572-3030.jcgb-14-495
Ashraf KhanCorresponding author

Thyroid carcinomas encompass a wide spectrum ranging from differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) to poorly differentiated (PDC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). DTC of both follicular (FTC) and papillary (PTC) types can progress to PDC and AC. The aim of our study was to evaluate if there is…

A Systematic Review of Dengue Fever and Dengue-Associated Neurological Conditions Was Conducted in an Attempt to Better Understand This Disease

Jun 2024 DOI 10.14302/issn.2374-9431.jbd-24-5077
Raúl IseaCorresponding author

Dengue is a global arbovirus disease primarily carried by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. It has four serotypes (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4) and is classified into distinct genotypes. The epidemic is complicated by immunological interactions and viral lineage turnover. Neurologica…

A Summary of Circular RNAs in Alzheimer's Disease

Jan 2021 DOI 10.14302/issn.2470-5020.jnrt-20-3619
Keping ChenCorresponding author

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently rediscovered eukaryotic molecules that form a covalently closed-loop structure through a special type of alternative splicing known as backsplicing. These closed-loop structures are highly stable and resistant to RNase degradation, and are thereby expressed in a…
