Article Synopsis
- Recent studies highlight the role of autophagy and microRNAs in lung cancer, particularly how specific microRNAs like miR-30d and miR-204-5p can suppress autophagy-related genes.
- The research analyzed the expression levels of these microRNAs and their target genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, finding significant downregulation of miR-30d and miR-204-5p in tumor samples compared to normal tissues.
- Results suggest that these microRNAs act as tumor suppressors while their target genes may function as oncogenes in NSCLC, indicating a need for further studies on their potential in lung cancer treatment.
This study was carried out to investigate the possible efflux pump inhibitory activity of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. In this study, the physicochemical characteristics of synthesized AgNPs were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) methods. Subsequently, MDR A.
