Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are enriched in pancreatic islets and several lncRNAs are linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although they have emerged as potential players in β-cell biology and T2D, little is known about their functions and mechanisms in human β-cells. We identified an islet-enriched lncRNA, TUNAR (TCL1 upstream neural d…[Read more]

048). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that breast cancer patients with overexpression of BM466146 had longer overall survival. EDU and CCK8 experiments showed that overexpression of BM466146 inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells. The hsa-miR-224-3p is associated with BM466146, and its target gene might be CXCL-13. The positive…[Read more]

As COVID-19 has turned universities into ghost towns, David Smith cannot wait for the day when his campus fills with life again.

Age, sedentary activity, central adiposity, and inflammation have all been independently associated with bone mineral density (BMD). We assessed how the effects of sedentary activity and central adiposity on BMD of…[Read more]

Silicon (Si) application could significantly alleviate the toxic effects of cadmium (Cd) on the growth and development of rice. Here, we examined the regulatory effects of Si on Cd accumulation and stress response in rice seedlings through a hydroponic root separation test. The results showed that the biomass of rice seedlings decreased…[Read more]
