miR-566 expression and immune changes in patients with intracranial aneurysm.

TL;DR: The abnormal expression of miR-566 affects the immune function, thus promoting the occurrence and deterioration of intracranial aneurysm.

Oligonucleotide-based biosensors for the detection of prostate cancer biomarkers

Pawan Jolly
TL;DR: This thesis wants to serve as a potential orientation for overcoming the shortcomings of the current PCa testing and contribute towards the development of oligonucleotide-based biosensors for PCa biomarker detection and hopefully enhance the diagnosis and prognosis of PCa.

Arsenical Kidney Toxicity

TL;DR: The biomarker approach has been particularly valuable in evaluating interactions between arsenic and other nephrotoxic elements such as lead, cadmium, gallium, and indium.

The role of miRNAs in the development of prostate cancer

TL;DR: This review examines current advances in the study of the role of miRNAs in cancer, including prostate cancer, and issues devoted to the nomenclature, biogenesis, the role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of prostate cancer are discussed.

DNA repair in bladder cancer predisposition and radiotherapy treatment response

TL;DR: The contribution of DNA repair gene variants in bladder cancer risk and predicting radiotherapy response is demonstrated and could contribute to the goal of personalised medicine for targeted primary prevention, early diagnosis and treatment individualisation.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: The current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals is outlined and the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes is discussed.

A microRNA polycistron as a potential human oncogene

TL;DR: It is found that the levels of the primary or mature microRNAs derived from the mir-17–92 locus are often substantially increased in human B-cell lymphomas, and the cluster is implicate as a potential human oncogene.

Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels

TL;DR: Results show that changes in mRNA levels closely reflect the impact of miRNAs on gene expression and indicate that destabilization of target mRNAs is the predominant reason for reduced protein output.

Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ribosome profiling to measure the overall effects on protein production and compare these to simultaneously measured effects on mRNA levels, showing that changes in mRNA levels closely reflect the impact of miRNAs on gene expression and indicate that destabilization of target mRNAs is the predominant reason for reduced protein output.
