Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) represent a feature of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a prominent vascular contributor to age-related cognitive decline, dementia, and stroke. They are visible as spherical hypointense signals on T2*- or susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. An increasing number of automated CMB detection methods being proposed are based on supervised deep learning (DL).

A representative set of clinical samples was used: 140 primary tumors from patients without and with metastases and 59 peritoneal metastases. Using MS-qPCR, we demonstrated an increase in methylation levels of all ten lncRNA genes in tumors compared to normal tissues ( < 0.

A canonical microRNA biogenesis pathway includes several posttranscriptional steps of processing and transport and ends with cytoplasmic cleavage of pre-miRNA by type III ribonuclease DICER to form a mature duplex, which is included in RISC. MicroRNA biogenesis and role in cell stress are still poorly understood.
