Purpose: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the lncRNA FAM111A-DT in PTC progression and the underlying mechanisms.

The goal of this paper is to explore a set of epistemological and ontological issues regarding the historical and philosophical role of placebos in the contested history of antidepressants. Starting from an account of the dual nature of the placebo as both an epistemic and a therapeutic tool, and against the background of the heated debates on the efficacy of second-generation antidepressants, I propose two related arguments. First, I argue that placebos as controls played a crucial but paradoxical role in the rise of so-called evidence-based approaches to depression.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are categorized as short endogenous non-coding RNAs, which have a significant role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Identifying new animal precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) and miRNA is crucial to understand the role of miRNAs in various biological processes including the development of diseases. The present study focuses on the development of a Light Gradient Boost (LGB) based method for the classification of animal pre-miRNAs using various sequence and secondary structural features.

PME12-mutated plants displayed altered stomatal characteristics and susceptibility to ABA-induced closure. Despite changes in PME activity, the mutant exhibited enhanced thermotolerance. These findings suggest a complex interplay between pectin methylesterification, ABA response, and stomatal function, contributing to plant adaptation to heat stress.

Purpose: The present study aims to provide normative values for Hand Grip Strength (HGS) and Hand Pinch Strength of healthcare staff and evaluate key body anthropometric predictors of these strengths.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 2,337 healthcare staff. HGS and pinch strength were assessed for both hands using a hydraulic hand dynamometer and pinch gauge.
