circ_AKT3 knockdown suppresses cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are associated with cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer (GC). This study aims to explore the role of circRNA AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 (circ_AKT3) in the resistance of GC to cisplatin.

Knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in Indian Anopheles culicifacies populations [PDF]
Background Anopheles culicifacies s.l. is one of the primary vectors of malaria in India responsible for the highest number of malaria cases. This vector is resistant to DDT in most parts of the country with indication of emerging resistance to ...

Absence of knockdown resistance suggests metabolic resistance in the main malaria vectors of the Mekong region [PDF]
Background As insecticide resistance may jeopardize the successful malaria control programmes in the Mekong region, a large investigation was previously conducted in the Mekong countries to assess the susceptibility of the main malaria vectors against ...

Investigating knockdown resistance (kdr) mechanism against pyrethroids/DDT in the malaria vector Anopheles funestus across Africa [PDF]
Background Understanding the molecular basis of insecticide resistance is key to improve the surveillance and monitoring of malaria vector populations under control. In the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus, little is currently known about the role

Discovery of super-insecticide-resistant dengue mosquitoes in Asia: Threats of concomitant knockdown resistance mutations. [PDF]
Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) is the main mosquito vector for dengue and other arboviral infectious diseases. Control of this important vector highly relies on the use of insecticides, especially pyrethroids.

Development of antisense-mediated myostatin knockdown for the treatment of insulin resistance [PDF]
AbstractMyostatin is a negative regulator of muscle mass and its inhibition represents a promising strategy for the treatment of muscle disorders and type 2 diabetes. However, there is currently no clinically effective myostatin inhibitor, and therefore novel methods are required.

Knockdown resistance of Anopheles sinensis in Henan province, China [PDF]
Vivax malaria was historically epidemic in Henan Province of China and Anopheles sinensis was the main vectors and poor farming communities bare the greatest burden of disease. Knockdown resistance in An. sinensis is one of the mechanisms of resistance against pyrethroids. In the present study, the frequency of mutations from An.

Impact of metallothionein-knockdown on cisplatin resistance in malignant pleural mesothelioma [PDF]
AbstractMalignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, but aggressive tumor with dismal prognosis. Platinum-based chemotherapy is regularly used as part of multimodality therapy. The expression of metallothioneins (MT) has been identified as a reason for cisplatin resistance, which often leads to early therapy failure or relapse. Thus, knockdown of MT

Identification of Knockdown Resistance Mutations in the Cimex hemipterus (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) in Iran. [PDF]
ABSTRACT. The worldwide resurgence of tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus beginning in the late 1990s has led to growing concern. Molecular data on pyrethroid resistance, which is essential for the control strategies, is unknown for C. hemipterus in Iran. The current study evaluated the deltamethrin resistance status of C.
