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 ...

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

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

With the advent of next generation sequencing techniques a previously unknown world of non‐coding RNA molecules have been discovered. Non‐coding RNA transcripts likely outnumber the group of protein coding sequences and hold promise of many new discoveries and mechanistic explanations for essential biological phenomena and pathologies.

MicroRNAs in fibrosis: opportunities and challenges [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that mediate mRNA cleavage, translational repression or mRNA destabilisation and are around 22-25 nucleotides in length via partial complementary binding to the 3' untranslated region in target transcripts ...

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.
