MicroRNA-130b Is a Unique Autophagy-Related Epigenetic Predictor of FLOT-Chemotherapy in Gastric Cancers.

Introduction: Liquid biopsies have great potential for precision medicine as they provide information about primary and metastatic tumors using minimally invasive techniques. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for detecting gastric cancer (GC). The aim of the study was to identify miR molecules associated with autophagy in gastric cancer (GC) cells, determine their expression levels in GC and FLOT-treated patients, and assess the efficacy of FLOT therapy in GC patients.

Crucial Role of microRNAs as New Targets for Amelogenesis Disorders Detection.

Introduction: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) refers to a heterogeneous group of conditions with multiple factors which contribute to the hypomineralisation of enamel. Preventive measures are necessary to predict this pathology. Prospects for preventive medicine are closely related to the search for new informative methods for diagnosing a human disease.

Transcription factors Brn-3α and TRIM16 in cancers, association with hormone reception.

Sex hormones, regulating normal physiological processes of most tissues and organs, are considered to be one of the key factors in the development of hormone-dependent cancer and formation of the hormone-resistant tumor phenotype. Recently, the importance of the system for control of hormone receptors expression mediated by nuclear peptides became evident. This system is involved in the regulation of normal physiological processes, in the pathogenesis of many diseases as well as oncogenesis.

Targeting of the AKT/m-TOR Pathway: Biomarkers of Resistance to Cancer Therapy-- AKT/m-TOR Pathway and Resistance to Cancer Therapy.

Resistance to cancer therapy continues to be a major limitation for the successful treatment of cancer. There are many published studies on therapy resistance in breast and prostate cancers; however, there are currently no data on molecular markers associated with resistance. The conflicting data were reported regarding the AKT/m-TOR signaling pathway components as markers predicting resistance.
