miRBase: microRNA sequences, targets and gene nomenclature
The miRBase database aims to provide integrated interfaces to comprehensive microRNA sequence data, annotation and predicted gene targets. miRBase takes over functionality from the microRNA Registry and fulfils three main roles: the miRBase Registry acts

Assessment of Circulating MicroRNAs for the Diagnosis and Disease Activity Evaluation in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis by Using the Nanostring Technology [PDF]
Background: Clinical decision and patient care management in inflammatory bowel diseases is largely based on the assessment of clinical symptoms, while the biomarkers currently in use poorly reflect the actual disease activity.

miR-181b functions as an oncomiR in colorectal cancer by targeting PDCD4
Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is a RNA-binding protein that acts as a tumor suppressor in many cancer types, including colorectal cancer (CRC). During CRC carcinogenesis, PDCD4 protein levels remarkably decrease, but the underlying molecular mechanism ...

Emerging role of extracellular microRNAs and lncRNAs
The discovery of extracellular non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has dramatically altered our understanding of the role RNA plays in organisms.

ALOX5 deficiency contributes to bladder cancer progression by mediating ferroptosis escape
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by the lethal lipid peroxides. Previous studies have demonstrated that inducing ferroptosis holds great potential in cancer therapy, especially for patients with traditional therapy ...

Pancreatic cancer (PaC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies. The dismal survival rate of PaC patients is mainly due to the late diagnosis and their resistance to conventional chemotherapies.

PseudoFuN: Deriving functional potentials of pseudogenes from integrative relationships with genes and microRNAs across 32 cancers [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Long thought "relics" of evolution, not until recently have pseudogenes been of medical interest regarding regulation in cancer. Often, these regulatory roles are a direct by-product of their close sequence homology to protein-coding genes.

The Jun/miR-22/HuR regulatory axis contributes to tumourigenesis in colorectal cancer
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a severe health problem worldwide. Clarifying the mechanisms for the deregulation of oncogenes and tumour suppressors in CRC is vital for its diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention.

Salmonella produce microRNA-like RNA fragment Sal-1 in the infected cells to facilitate intracellular survival. [PDF]
Salmonella have developed a sophisticated machinery to evade immune clearance and promote survival in the infected cells. Previous studies were mostly focused on either bacteria itself or host cells, the interaction mechanism of host-pathogen awaits ...
