MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules capable of
regulating post-transcriptional gene expression. Imbalances in the miRNA network have …

Metal transporter SLC39A14/ZIP14 is localized on the basolateral side of the intestine,
functioning to transport metals from blood to intestine epithelial cells. Deletion of …

Objective Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is critical for many physiological processes,
including glucose metabolism, regulation of inflammation, and intestinal barrier function …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional gene regulators
controlling cellular lineage specification and differentiation during embryonic development …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may modulate more than 60% of human coding genes and act as
negative regulators, whereas long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gene expression on …

MicroRNA-mediated regulation is critical for the proper development and function of the
small intestinal (SI) epithelium. However, it is not known which microRNAs are expressed in …

Introduction Recently, accumulating studies have reported the roles of competitive
endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in several organs …

The pituitary gland is inhabited by a subpopulation of SOX2+ stem cells. However, the
regulatory mechanisms underlying pituitary stem cell development remain poorly …

Background Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with a high mortality and
morbidity rate. MicroRNAs participate in tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis of …

Intestinal epithelium undergoes dysfunctions and diseases over time with an exponential
increase in the elderly population. Recent studies reported that the intestinal stem cells …
