The precise impact of species and strain diversity on fungal-bacterial interactions and the overall community functioning has remained unclear. First, our study revealed how influences diverse bacteria to accumulate key metabolites in a simulated fermented food system. For flavor, promoted the accumulation of branched-chain esters in by promoting growth and facilitating the precursor branched-chain acids transformations but hindered the accumulation of .

Microbial interactions play an important role in regulating the metabolic function of fermented food communities, especially the production of key flavor compounds. However, little is known about specific molecular mechanisms that regulate the production of key flavor compounds through microbial interactions. Here, we designed a synthetic consortium containing Debaryomyces hansenii D1, Staphylococcus xylosus S1, and Pediococcus pentosaceus PP1 to explore the mechanism of the microbial interactions underlying the branched-chain aldehydes production.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most common cancer in the world. Serum microRNA (miRNA) profiles previously have been reported as non-invasive biomarkers in cancer screening. The non-invasive and reliable diagnostic biomarkers are urgently needed for detecting BC, while cystoscopy is invasive.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is cancer with unique epidemiological characteristics, showing obvious ethnicity, gender, and geographical prevalence. More and more evidence shows that microRNAs are stable in serum and are specific to different tumor types. Therefore, miRNA is a new non-invasive biomarker for cancer detection.

Previous studies have shown that the miR-17-92 cluster is involved in the occurrence and development of bladder cancer. However, the role of serum miR-17-92 cluster in the diagnosis of bladder cancer has not been studied. In the present study, we evaluated the expression of miR-17-92 cluster members in bladder cancer tissues by analyzing 428 cases from TCGA database.

Background: The aim of the study was to identify serum microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential biomarkers for screening renal cell carcinoma.

Methods: The study was divided into three stages, including screening stage, training stage, and validation stage. In the screening stage, we examined the expression of 30 serum miRNAs from healthy controls (HCs) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.

Breast cancer, especially invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), is the cause of a great clinical burden. miRNA could be considered as a noninvasive biomarkers for IDC diagnosis. Two hundred and sixty participants (135 IDC patients and 125 healthy controls) were enrolled in a three-cohort study.

The diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often made late since there is no early symptom, which thus results in dismal patient prognosis. As a result, new biomarkers are urgently needed and efforts should be made to identify their functions in predicting RCC prognosis. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that are about 20-22 nucleotides in length, and they have been demonstrated to function as prognostic markers in numerous tumors.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been applied to cancer diagnosis taking into account their role in tumorigenesis. The main purpose of our study was to confirm the possibility of using miRNAs as noninvasive biomarkers for stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) diagnosis.

Methods: A total of 246 participants (130 STAD patients and 116 healthy controls (HCs)) were enrolled in this 3-phase study.

Objective: Previous research has shown that the miR-130 family is closely related to the occurrence and development of bladder cancer. We hope to use the miR-130 family members as new, non-invasive, and easily detectable biomarkers for bladder cancer.

Methods: We analyzed 428 cases in The Cancer Genome Atlas-Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma database and verified that the miR-130 family members were significantly overexpressed in bladder cancer.

Screening for colorectal carcinoma (CRC) lacks an efficient, inexpensive and noninvasive approach. The stable presence of serum miRNA is expected to become a new diagnostic marker. Based on 135 CRC patients and 135 normal controls, this study was conducted in three phases to identify suitable serum miRNA for CRC diagnosis by using quantitative reverse transcription PCR.

Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for about 120,000 death each year. Although surgery is a routine treatment, RCC could be fatal if not diagnosed at an early stage. This study aims to search for suitable serum biomarkers and construct a miRNA panel with high diagnostic sensitivity or specificity.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common malignancy, yet, the mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis remain unclear. Several miRNAs have been implicated in the development of RCC previously via regulation of target gene expression. As miR-625-3p has recently been identified to play a role in development of other malignancies and is reportedly upregulated in ccRCC, we sought to investigate the role of this miRNA in the progression of ccRCC.
