Metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes (T2D) are major diseases with a wide impact; metabolic syndrome increased in prevalence in the United States from the period of 1988–1994 to the period of 2007–2012 by greater than 35% (1), while diabetes was the 7th leading cause of death in the US in 2013. 90–95% of all… Read article →
In recent years, research into microRNA biomarkers for cancer has expanded, yielding many potential signatures for a variety of cancer types. MicroRNAs are promising biomarker candidates due to their stability in circulation in association with Ago2, HDL or extracellular vesicles, and their important gene regulation roles in multiple cancer-related processes. Multiple methods are available for miRNA… Read article →
We are all too familiar with the following scenario: we mentally make ambitious plans – “today, I will go for a run”, “tonight, I will take time out and read my favorite book”, “tomorrow, I will finally join the live webinar I was so interested in, which is quite relevant to my research”… Yes, we… Read article →
Time marches on and technology with it, and these new advances yield new perspectives. Of particular interest to this blog is the changing technology and perspective on microRNA profiling methods. Two years ago, I wrote about the pros and cons of 3 methods commonly used for miRNA expression analysis, NGS, qPCR and microarray, and concluded… Read article →
