miR-802-5p is a key regulator in diabetic kidney disease
Background: Diabetic kidney disease has substantial burden and limited therapeutic options. An inadequate understanding of the complex gene regulatory circuits underlying this disorder contributes to the insufficiency of current treatment strategies ...

MicroRNAs regulatory networks in cardiotoxicity [PDF]
A long time and many steps are needed to bring valuable drugs to patients. Drugs not only have to be effective against the disease which they are intended for, but also safe. All drugs cause toxic effects in proportion to the dose (Paracelsus, ca.

A Database for TSSs of Human MicroRNAs [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogeneous non-coding RNAs of about 22nt length. These short RNAs regulate the expression of mRNAs by hybridizing with their 3'-UTRs or by translational repression.

Diversity in parasitic nematode genomes: the microRNAs of Brugia pahangi and Haemonchus contortus are largely novel [PDF]
<b>BACKGROUND:</b> MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in regulating post-transcriptional gene expression and are essential for development in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and in higher organisms.

Therapeutic Potentials of MiRNA for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis Treatment: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most prevalent cancers worldwide and is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Metastasis poses a significant obstacle in CRC treatment, as distant metastasis, particularly to the liver, remains the ...

miR-508-5p and mir-510-5p expressions and their relationships with spermatozoa motility and morphology [PDF]
Background and aims:miRNAs have regulatory functions in developmental processes. The stages of spermatogenesis can also be affected by miRNAs. We tried to detect a relationship between the expression of miR-508-5p and miR-510-5p and male infertility. The

Effect of Amyloid Beta on Cholesterol Metabolism-Correlated microRNAs in Primary Cultured Astrocytes of C57BL/6J Mice: A Focus on CYP46A1 and APOE Genes [PDF]
Objective: The accumulation of amyloid plaques and disturbance of cholesterol homeostasis are implicated in thepathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) are keyproteins involved in the efflux

MicroRNA-26a-5p: multiple functions, multiple possibilities – a mini-review
Introduction MicroRNA are small RNA molecules about 22 nucleotides long that do not encode proteins. Their function is to change the expression of proteins by attaching to their mRNA.
