Contemporary computational target prediction tools with their distinctive properties and stringency have been playing a vital role in pursuing putative targets for a solitary miRNA or a subcategory of miRNAs. These tools utilize a defined set of probabilistic algorithms, machine learning techniques, and information of experimentally validated miRNA targets to provide the best selection. However, there are numerous false-positive predictions, and a method to choose an archetypal approach and put the data provided by the prediction tools into context is still lacking. Moreover, sensitivity, specificity, and overall efficiency of a single tool have not yet been achieved. Therefore, a systematic combination of selective online tools combining elementary and advanced factors of miRNA target identification might reinforce the current target prediction regime. The focus of this study was to build a comprehensive workflow by combining six available online tools to facilitate the current understanding of miRNA-target prediction.

Complementary cognitive roles for D2-MSNs and D1-MSNs during interval timing.

The role of striatal pathways in cognitive processing is unclear. We studied dorsomedial striatal cognitive processing during interval timing, an elementary cognitive task that requires mice to estimate intervals of several seconds and involves working memory for temporal rules as well as attention to the passage of time. We harnessed optogenetic tagging to record from striatal D2-dopamine receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) in the indirect pathway and from D1-dopamine receptor-expressing MSNs (D1-MSNs) in the direct pathway.

It is generally accepted that intraocular pressure (IOP) depends on the rate of aqueous humor production, system outflow resistance, and episcleral venous pressure. Therefore, control IOP values are expected to be within the strict and predictable limits in specific animal species, and there should be no vast differences between species. However, in the literature the control IOP values significantly vary (from potentially "hypotensive" to "hypertensive") within the same species, and especially between species depending on the measurement technique, head position in relation to the rest of the body, circadian rhythm, age, and topical and systemic drugs (anesthetics) applied.

Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the molecular landscape of gastric cancer (GC) by integrating various bioinformatics tools and experimental validations.
Methodology: GSE79973 dataset, limma package, STRING, UALCAN, GEPIA, OncoDB, cBioPortal, DAVID, TISIDB, Gene Set Cancer Analysis (GSCA), tissue samples, RT-qPCR, and cell proliferation assay were employed in this study.
Results: Analysis of the GSE79973 dataset identified 300 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), from which COL1A1, COL1A2, CHN1, and FN1 emerged as pivotal hub genes using protein-protein interaction network analysis.

Aims: To establish the feasibility of using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to estimate total quantities of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) used across different forms of cannabis, and to assess the predictive validity of THC estimates for predicting acute cannabis-related consequences.
Design: 14-day EMA using a smartphone application to assess cannabis use in real time.
Setting: Canada.
