Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different vegetation patches in Ningxia desert steppe influence soil microbial communities, focusing on microbial biomass and structure through phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis.
- Findings reveal that vegetation patches support a high abundance of soil microbes, especially bacteria, with notable variations in microbial composition across different plant communities.
- It also indicates that soil organic carbon positively affects microbial growth, while soil pH negatively correlates with microbial activity.
The objective of this study was to examine the function of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA11-AS in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In total, samples from liver tumor and surrounding normal liver tissues were collected from 66 cases of HCC patients. Normal liver cell line HL-7702 and HCC cell lines HepG2, Hep3B, MHCC-97H and BEL7402 were used.

Among all cancer types, lung cancer has the highest morbidity rate, with a survival rate of less than 5%. Various studies have focused on discovering a potent anticancer drug that will increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients.

Methods: CD34+ cells were isolated and transduced with the third-generation self-inactivating ( SIN) lentiviral vector carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP). The total RNA from transduced cells was extracted and the differences of genotypes between the transduced and non-transduced CD34+ cells were determined with cDNA microarray analysis.
