MicroRNAs are small noncoding nucleotides that serve as intracellular and extracellular signaling molecules. A previous collaboration found miR-127/3p circulation in the blood of breast cancer patients correlated with improved patient recovery and prognosis. While this study exclusively focused on breast cancer patients, data mining of the TCGA databases indicated that miR-127/3p may be positively associated with outcomes in other cancer types.

Youth development researchers and practitioners share an interest in ensuring that youth development programs contribute positively to youth outcomes. Engaging in evaluation and data-informed decision making (DIDM) has the potential to empower practitioners to improve and adapt programs, improving youth outcomes. Yet, not all practitioners are comfortable engaging in evaluation and/or DIDM.

Superconducting qubits are a leading platform that is advancing noise-tolerant intermediate-scale quantum processors. The implementation requires scaling to large numbers of superconducting qubits, circuit depths, and gate speeds, wherein high-purity RF signal generation and effective cabling transport are desirable.
