The hypothalamus is a vital regulator of energy homeostasis. Orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons within the hypothalamus can stimulate feeding and suppress energy expenditure, and dysregulation of these neurons may contribute to obesity. We previously reported that bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor with obesogenic properties, alters transcription in hypothalamic neurons by inducing oxidative stress.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a global health concern, is highly prevalent among adults. Presently, there are limited therapeutic options to restore kidney function. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of breast milk mesenchymal stem cells (Br-MSCs) and their derived exosomes in CKD.

Background/aim: Breast cancer is a leading worldwide cause of female cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Since molecular characteristics increasingly guide disease management, demystifying breast tumor miRNA signature emerges as an essential step toward personalized care. This study aimed to investigate the variations in circulating miRNA expression profiles between breast cancer subtypes and healthy controls and to identify relevant target genes and molecular functions.

Cardiovascular diseases seriously endanger human physical and mental health and life safety, to investigate correlation between miR-let-7b and miR-29b and coronary artery calcification of various patients. At present, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of plasma miR-let-7b and miR-29b in patients with coronary artery calcification and noncoronary artery calcification and to analyze whether the expression levels of miR-let-7b and miR-29b were different between the two groups. It was shown that there was no significant difference in the expression of miR-let-7d-3p between the two groups.
