Endomyocardial biopsy is the standard method of monitoring for rejection in recipients of a cardiac transplant. However, this procedure is uncomfortable, and there are risks associated with it. Gene-expression profiling of peripheral-blood specimens has been shown to correlate with the results of an endomyocardial biopsy.

    We profiled miRNA expression in well-differentiated primary cultures of human cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF airway epithelia, and discovered that miR-509-3p and miR-494 levels were increased in CF epithelia. Human airway epithelia transfected with the mimics of miR-509-3p or -494 showed decreased...

    We provide evidences that LRRC1 plays a potential oncogenic function in HCC. Consistent with the microarray data, quantitative real-time PCR results showed LRRC1 was aberrantly upregulated in 37/56 (66.1 %, more than twofolds) of HCC specimens compared with adjacent non-cancerous livers.

    We carried out a genome wide comparative analysis of developmental trajectories in Kranz (foliar leaf blade) and non-Kranz (husk leaf sheath) leaves of the C4 plant maize. Using profile classification of gene expression in early leaf primordia, we identified cohorts of genes associated with procambi...
