Specific Roles of MicroRNAs in Their Interactions with Environmental Factors
Journal of Nucleic Acids, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression by modulating numerous target mRNAs expression at posttranscriptional level. Extensive studies have shown that miRNAs are critical in various important biological processes, including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, development, and apoptosis.

Risk‐Reduction Strategies for Platelet Transfusion in the United States
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 624-640, 2011., 2011 Despite bacterial culture of platelets, transfusion‐associated bacteremia/sepsis (TABS) may occur with a frequency of approximately 1/60,000 platelet transfusions, while an emerging transfusion‐transmitted infection (TTI) could reproduce the epidemic of transfusion‐transmitted human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the future.
