Aptamers in Bordeaux 2017: An exceptional "millésime".

abstract：:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21 nt non-coding small RNAs which regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Until recently, only limited numbers of miRNAs were identified in Cucurbitaceae, a large flowering plant family. In this study, 220 potential miRNA candidates were identified from...

abstract：UNLABELLED:Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal human malignancies and a major health problem. Patients diagnosed with PC and treated with conventional approaches have an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. Novel strategies are needed to treat this disease. Herein, we propose a combinatorial strat...
