Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIdentification of Long Non-coding RNAs Expressed During Early AdipogenesisRongkun Shen, Rachel A. Soeder, Henry D. Ophardt et al.Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with a length of more than 200 nucleotides that lack protein-coding capacity. LncRNAs play important roles in the regulation of genes during many biological processes, development and disease progression, such as obesity. Obesity is an increasing health concern around the world. Although multiple studies linking lncRNAs and fully differentiated adipocytes have been published, the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2019 · 7,823 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Silencing of Septin 1 via Synthetic siRNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombeSemih Ekimler, Merve Yilmazer, Ercan AricanSeptins are evolutionary conserved GTP-binding proteins and form heterooligomers in cells to interact with cytoskeleton. The main roles of septins in cell are cytokines, membrane interactions, vesicle trafficking and microtubule and actin organization. Non-coding RNAs are key players of gene expression regulation. Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs, are characterized by sequence complementarity to their target mRNAs. siRNAs silence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2017 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
