The effect of low concentrations of miRNA on the ability of GeneChip miRNA 4.0 hybridization chips to evaluate their representation in the sample was studied. It is shown that the evaluation of the expression of 61 miRNAs is statistically significantly associated with the multiplicity of plasma dilution. Only 12 miRNAs showed very high Pearson correlation coefficient (>0.95) and they all decreased in response to dilution. High abundance of has-miR-4532 miRNA in plasma was demonstrated. This miRNA was never detected during sequencing of similar samples. It was concluded that in case of miRNA expression <1.12±0.33 units in log2 scale, dilution was not followed by further decrease in the signal intensity in GeneChip miRNA 4.0 chips.

Purpose: Inflammatory processes have been involved in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Interleukin (IL)-17A, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is associated with DR occurrence and development. However, mechanisms underlying the IL-17A impact on DR need further investigations.

Neural precursor cells (NPCs) are a group of cells with self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential. MicroRNAs are required for neurogenesis in the central nervous system (CNS). Recent reports suggest that miR-1224 is important in human CNS diseases.

Background: Despite the current diagnostic techniques and therapeutic methods for colorectal cancer (CRC), patients are often diagnosed at advanced stages of colorectal cancer with poor prognosis and distant metastasis. Recently, numerous investigations have highlighted the crucial role of lncRNAs in cancer development, progression, invasion, and metastasis. This study investigated less well-characterized genes in the colorectal cancer metastasis process using bioinformatics analysis and their confirmation by experimental methods.

Whey protein (WP) contains two major allergenic proteins, α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin, which significantly impact its incorporation and application in food products. Current research primarily focuses on the dynamic changes in allergenicity during the processing of individual protein components. To simulate realistic conditions in food processing, this study aims to investigate the effect of polyphenol oxidase cross-linking on the allergenicity of complex protein matrices.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a promising biomarker for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. To enable sensitive and reliable miRNA detection, we have developed a one-pot isothermal CRISPR/Dx detection system by combining rolling circle amplification (RCA) and CRISPR/Cas12a. RCA and CRISPR/Cas12a reactions are carried out in a single closed tube, bypassing the transferring step.
