Hsa_circ_0031288/hsa-miR-139-3p/Bcl-6 regulatory feedback circuit influences the invasion and migration of cervical cancer HeLa cells.

Circular RNA (circRNA) molecules contain microRNA (miRNA) response elements that are able to competitively bind miRNAs as well as function as miRNA sponges within cells, which can reduce miRNA inhibition of target genes, thereby increasing their expression. TargetScan and miRanda bioinformatic tools were used to analyze the binding sites between genes. The relative levels of gene expression in tissues and cells were verified using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

Identifying electrochemical effects in a thermal-electrochemical co-driven system for CO capture.

Currently, the most promising amine absorption system for CO capture still faces the challenges of heavy steam consumption and a high energy penalty. Thus, a new thermal-electrochemical co-driven system (TECS) for CO capture was developed to resolve these problems. In the TECS, unknown electrochemical behaviors are quite essential to assess the CO capture performance.
