MicroRNAs are small (approx. 22nt) non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of genes by either degrading messenger-RNA (mRNA) that has already been transcribed or by repressing the translation of mRNA, thus inhibiting protein production. This mechanism of gene regulation by binding of the miRNA to 3-prime-untranslated region of target mRNAs has been recently discovered. This sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene regulation process affects large set of genes involved in number of biological pathways. Mapping of 7nt long miRNA seed sequence to the target gene has been a standard way of predicting miRNA targets. In this study, we develop a framework to enrich the human miRNA-mRNA relationship based on genomic and structural information.

Background: Embryogenic callus (EC) has strong regenerative potential, useful for propagation and genetic transformation. miRNAs have been confirmed to play key regulatory roles in EC regeneration across various plants. However, challenges in EC induction have hindered the breeding of drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.

Cleft palate is the most prevalent congenital condition. Cleft palate is brought on by an exogenous chemical called all-trans retinoic acid (atRA). In order to indirectly control gene expression, long chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) sponges.

Cuproptosis is crucial in the development of various liver diseases, yet its involvement in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) remains poorly understood. In this study, we screened cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) regulating ALD and explored their potential molecular mechanisms. Bioinformatic methods were employed to screen CRGs in ALD, analyze their functional enrichment, signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, relationship with the immune microenvironment and pathogenic genes, and corresponding single nucleotide polymorphism pathogenic regions, and construct transcription factor-miRNA-mRNA networks.

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent and lethal malignancy, accounting for 95% of head and neck cancers. Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activating protein ZETA (14-3-3ζ) is central to various signalling pathways and is pivotal in tumour progression.
Methods: Cancerous and corresponding non-cancerous tissue samples were collected from five patients diagnosed with HNSCC.

Background: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a significant oncological challenge due to its aggressive nature and poor treatment outcomes. This study explores the comprehensive effects of radiotherapy (RT) in SKCM, focusing on cell signaling pathways, immune infiltration, immune gene correlations, immunotherapy response, and prognosis.
Methods: Using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in SKCM patients undergoing RT were identified.
