- Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a serious type of blood cancer that affects blood-making cells.
- Researchers found that a protein called CaMKIIγ is more active in AML patients and is connected to how the cancer cells grow and stay alive.
- By reducing the levels of CaMKIIγ in some lab-created AML cells, they discovered that it made the cells less capable of surviving and multiplying, showing that CaMKIIγ is important for keeping these cancer stem cells alive.

The objective of this study was to analyze the infection rate and drug resistance of Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Mycoplasma hominis (MH) in the genitourinary tract of Chinese patients. From December 2018 to June 2019, vaginal secretion or urinary secretion of outpatients in our hospital were selected for culture and drug sensitivity analysis of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. In 4082 Chinese samples, 1567 Mycoplasma were detected, a detection rate of 38.

However, the onco-genetic role of miR-126 in ESCC still remains unknown. In the present study, we found the relative expression of miR-126 in ESCC was significant decreased in ESCC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues.
