B7-H7 Suppression Increases the Expression of CTLA-4 and VISTA Genes in Gastric Cancer Cell Line [PDF]
Gastric cancer (GC) is a multifactorial genetic malignancy that tumor metastasis is one of the principal characteristics of this disease. The B7 family immune checkpoints have important functions in maintaining the immune system's equilibrium that ...

An Inside Job for siRNAs [PDF]
Among the three main categories of small silencing RNAs in insects and mammals-siRNAs, miRNAs, and piRNAs-siRNAs were thought to arise primarily from exogenous sources, whereas miRNAs and piRNAs arise from endogenous loci. Recent work in flies and mice reveals several classes of endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs) that contribute to functions previously ...

Silencing of mTOR Facilitates the Cyclophosphamide-Mediated Cytotoxicity in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [PDF]
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a neoplastic disorder in which lymphoid progenitors of patients proliferate malignantly and accumulate in peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow (BM), and other sites.

RNA interference and Register Machines (extended abstract) [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism whereby small RNAs (siRNAs) directly control gene expression without assistance from proteins. This mechanism consists of interactions between RNAs and small RNAs both of which may be single or double stranded. The target of the mechanism is mRNA to be degraded or aberrated, while the initiator is double stranded ...
