In this chapter we outline a RNA extraction method for very low immune cell populations isolated from the central nervous system of mice undergoing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. We compare various normalization and quantification techniques to examine miRNA expression. Our data highlight that employing a mean normalization procedure using a number of well-selected housekeeping miRNA genes, followed by absolute quantification with a standard curve generated from a commercial miRNA oligo, gave the most robust and reproducible miRNA expression results.

Methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1)-mediated m7G modification is a common occurrence in various RNA species, including mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, and miRNAs. Recent evidence suggests that this modification is linked to the development of several cancers, making it a promising target for cancer therapy. However, the specific role of m7G modification in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is not well understood.

Epidemiological studies have reported that atmospheric particulate matter (PM) contributes to ischemic stroke (IS). Biological studies also indicated that the pathway where PM induces IS involves several pathological processes. Moreover, exposure to PM can alter the expression of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) and ultimately accelerate the onset of IS by regulating related pathways.

The present study endeavors to investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of miR-656-3p and Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) in DFH. It was recruited 94 patients with normal fracture healing (NFH) and 88 patients with DFH of the femoral neck.
