Journal ArticleDOI

The microRNA miR-34a inhibits prostate cancer stem cells and metastasis by directly repressing CD44

TL;DR: This study shows that miR-34a is a key negative regulator of CD44(+) prostate cancer cells and establishes a strong rationale for developing miR -34a as a novel therapeutic agent against prostate CSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The let-7 MicroRNA represses cell proliferation pathways in human cells

TL;DR: This work reveals the let-7 microRNA to be a master regulator of cell proliferation pathways and shows that multiple genes involved in cell cycle and cell division functions are also directly or indirectly repressed byLet-7.
Journal ArticleDOI

The N-terminal Pro-BNP investigation of dyspnea in the emergency department (PRIDE) study.

TL;DR: NT-proBNP measurement is a valuable addition to standard clinical assessment for the identification and exclusion of acute ChF in the emergency department setting and was the strongest independent predictor of a final diagnosis of acute CHF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of miRNA Changes in Alzheimer's Disease Brain and CSF Yields Putative Biomarkers and Insights into Disease Pathways

TL;DR: Using a sensitive qRT-PCR platform, experimental validation is used to reveal how the deregulated brain microRNAs are biomarkers for known and novel pathways in AD pathogenesis related to amyloid processing, neurogenesis, insulin resistance, and innate immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a lung cancer therapeutic based on the tumor suppressor microRNA-34

TL;DR: The development of a therapeutic formulation using chemically synthesized miR-34a and a lipid-based delivery vehicle that blocks tumor growth in mouse models of non-small-cell lung cancer is described, providing proof of concept for the systemic delivery of a synthetic tumor suppressor mimic.
