Physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying salicylic acid-mitigated mercury toxicity in lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.).

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic heavy metals with strong negative effects on the plant growth and functions. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signaling molecule which confers tolerance to metal toxicities but little is known about the mechanisms of SA-mediated alleviation of Hg stress. Here, physiochemical and molecular responses of Hg-stressed lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.

Critical microRNAs in Lung Cancer: Recent Advances and Potential Applications.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of various genes involved in cell growth, development and the maintenance of body homeostasis. They are closely linked to different human diseases, particularly in cancers. Amplification and overexpression of some miRNAs that are called 'oncomiRs' or down-regulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs are associated with genetic alterations that are sufficient to drive tumorigenesis in humans.
