Plasma phospholipids identify antecedent memory impairment in older adults

TL;DR: This work discovered and validated a set of ten lipids from peripheral blood that predicted phenoconversion to either amnestic mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease within a 2–3 year timeframe with over 90% accuracy and may be sensitive to early neurodegeneration of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: In this article, a review outlines the current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals and discusses the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes.

MicroRNA regulatory networks in human adipose tissue and obesity

TL;DR: Given their role in regulating transcriptional networks, miRNAs in adipose tissue might offer tangible targets for treating metabolic disorders.

The Impact of Hemolysis on Cell-Free microRNA Biomarkers.

TL;DR: The microRNA content of hemolyzed and non-hemolyzed plasma as well as RBCs was profiled to obtain a profile of microRNAs in the circulation affected or unaffected by hemolysis, highlighting the importance of rigorous quality control of plasma/serum samples used for measurement of circulating micro RNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNAs in metabolism

TL;DR: This review emphasizes current ideas and controversies within miRNA research in metabolism, and emphasizes their importance as both endocrine signalling molecules and potentially disease markers.

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).

The widespread regulation of microRNA biogenesis, function and decay.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the regulation of miRNA metabolism and function by a range of mechanisms involving numerous protein–protein and protein–RNA interactions has an important role in the context-specific functions of miRNAs.

Assumption-free analysis of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) data.

TL;DR: It is shown that the first approach can lead to PCR efficiencies that vary over a 0.2 range, whereas the second approach may be off by 0.26, and proposed linear regression on the Log(fluorescence) per cycle number data as an assumption-free method to calculate starting concentrations of mRNAs and PCRefficiencies for each sample.
