MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potent regulators of gene expression. Consequently, miRNA expression is tightly regulated itself. In this issue, Hata and coworkers provide mechanistic insights into how SMAD proteins regulated the biogenesis of a specific subset of human miRNAs.

Orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) is a common side effect during orthodontic tooth treatment (OTM). The function of osteoprotegerin (OPG) is considered to protect cementum from excessive resorption to maintain root integrity. In this study, we observed that the expression of TGF-β1 and OPG was upregulated under the loading of orthodontic force in periodontal tissues.

Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an essential process for the metastasis of multiple malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Farrerol is a plant-derived flavonoid and has significant pharmacological effects. However, the anticancer activities of farrerol have not been fully elucidated.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma upregulated factor (PAUF) was initially identified as a secreted protein that is substantially expressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PAUF also affects invasiveness, motility, and the proliferation of cells in several types of cancer. Recently, PAUF was reported to play a pivotal role in the TLR4-mediated migration and invasion of PDAC cells.
