BackgroundExpression of double strand RNA (dsRNA) designed against important insect genes in transgenic plants have been shown to give protection against pests through RNA interference (RNAi), thus opening the way for a new generation of insect-resistant crops.We have earlier compared the efficacy of dsRNAs/siRNAs, against a number of target genes,
Ongoing beta cell death in type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be detected using biomarkers selectively discharged by dying beta cells into plasma.microRNA-375 (miR-375) ranks among the top biomarkers based on studies in animal models and human islet transplantation.Our objective was to identify additional microRNAs that are co-released with miR-375 proporti
Background : High body weight variability (BWV) is associated with many metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in adults.The study was designed to explore the baseline characteristics associated with high BWV.Methods : Using a nationally representative database from the Korean National Health Insurance system, 77,424 individuals who underwent five h
