Objective: Previous research suggests that peripheral immune cells may play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our study aims to determine if the composition of peripheral immune cells directly contributes to the occurrence of AD.

Methods: We utilized a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to examine the association between peripheral immune cells and AD.

Objective: Examining the role of EBV-miR-BARTs in nasopharyngeal cancer etiology and diagnosis.

Method: As the subjects of this study, nasopharyngeal cancer cell lines were chosen and then randomly assigned to one of four groups: the control group, EBV-miR-BART5-3p NC, EBV-miR-BART5-3p mimics, and EBV-miR-BART5-3p inhibitor groups. Utilizing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, we determined the levels of gene expression in nasopharyngeal cancer cells that had been treated with EBV-miR-BART5-3p (RT-PCR).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Pinjing Liu"

  • - Pinjing Liu's research focuses on understanding the causal relationships between immune cells and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, as demonstrated through a two-sample Mendelian randomization study aimed at establishing the impact of peripheral immune cells on AD occurrence
  • - Liu also investigates the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) microRNAs, specifically EBV-miR-BARTs, in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, utilizing various methodologies including gene expression analysis in cancer cell lines
  • - The findings from Liu's studies potentially highlight the significance of immune response and viral gene regulation in disease processes, which could contribute to future therapeutic and diagnostic developments in these fields
