Long noncoding RNA SNHG16 silencing inhibits the aggressiveness of gastric cancer via upregulation of microRNA-628-3p and consequent decrease of NRP1.

Background: MicroRNA-628-3p (miR-628) has been reported to play important roles in the progression of multiple human cancer types. Nonetheless, whether the expression profile of miR-628 is altered in gastric cancer remains unclear and whether its aberrant expression plays a crucial part in the aggressiveness of gastric cancer is yet to be determined. Therefore, in this study, we systematically investigated the involvement of miR-628 in gastric cancer progression.

Keratin-chitosan/n-ZnO nanocomposite hydrogel for antimicrobial treatment of burn wound healing: Characterization and biomedical application.

In the Present-day medicinally applied wound bandages have many drawbacks for, instance, rigidity, non-porosity, low mechanical potency, also an affinity for bandages to stick onto the injury exterior; additionally, a greater part of the bandages did not secure bactericidal activity. Hydrogel derived injury bandages would be supportive to afford a chill feeling with a humidity atmosphere, in addition, to performing as an obstruction to bacteria. To overcome these drawbacks, we have fabricated porous keratin-chitosan/n-ZnO nanocomposite (KCBZNs) bandages via the inclusion of nano-ZnO into the keratin-chitosan hydrogel.
