A genome‐scale screen reveals context‐dependent ovarian cancer sensitivity to miRNA overexpression
Large‐scale molecular annotation of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) indicates remarkable heterogeneity in the etiology of that disease. This diversity presents a significant obstacle against intervention target discovery.

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]
In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

Caenorhabditis elegans RIG-I Homolog Mediates Antiviral RNA Interference Downstream of Dicer-Dependent Biogenesis of Viral Small Interfering RNAs. [PDF]
Dicer enzymes process virus-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to initiate specific antiviral defense by related RNA interference (RNAi) pathways in plants, insects, nematodes, and mammals.

Construction and validation of prognostic nomogram for metaplastic breast cancer
In this study we aimed to develop nomogram models for predicting the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with metaplastic breast cancer (MBC). Data of patients diagnosed with MBC from 1973 to 2015 were collected from the

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus suppresses RNA silencing in mammalian cells [PDF]
The NS3 protein of the tenuivirus rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) has previously been shown to represent the viral RNA interference (RNAi) suppressor and is active in both plant and insect cells by binding short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in vitro.

microRNA Therapeutics in Cancer — An Emerging Concept
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an evolutionarily conserved class of small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate protein coding gene and other non-coding transcripts expression.

miR-142: A Master Regulator in Hematological Malignancies and Therapeutic Opportunities
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNA whose dysregulation is frequently associated with the onset and progression of human cancers. miR-142, an ultra-conserved miRNA with both active -3p and -5p mature strands and wide-ranging physiological ...

Random model for RNA interference yields scale free network
We introduce a random bit-string model of post-transcriptional genetic regulation based on sequence matching. The model spontaneously yields a scale free network with power law scaling with $ \gamma=-1$ and also exhibits log-periodic behaviour.

Plant reoviruses are able to multiply in gramineae plants and delphacid vectors encountering different defense strategies with unique features. This study aims to comparatively assess alterations of small RNA (sRNA) populations in both hosts upon virus ...

Microbiome composition modulates the lethal outcome of Drosophila A virus infection
Host-associated microbiomes can strongly influence viral infection outcomes, yet how minor variations in commensal bacterial composition modulate viral pathogenesis remain poorly understood.
